Happy hump day everyone, the weekend is just around the corner.
Right now as I type this I am listening to FSBreak Podcast and they are interviewing scenery guru Bill Womack. Pretty interesting stuff, you can listen to it as well. LISTEN HERE!
There really isnt much in the flightsim world to blog about but there is a few things I would like to talk about.
Most of you who know me, know that I like to have a clean computer so I reinstall my operating system just about every other week. In the future I would like to be able to run my computer without having to reinstall all the time. My problem is downloading and installing stuff for flight sim and then not using the item I downloaded. I just reinstalled my OS 2 days ago with the intent to at least go a month or two without downloading a bunch of crap lol. We shall see how that goes. =)
Here is what I have installed and things I have done:
*Installed Windows 7 RC 7100
*Installed all Windows updates
*Installed IObit: IObit Security 360™, Advanced SystemCare™ Free, Game Booster™
*Installed O&O Defrag 11 Professional Edition free 30 day trial.
*Installed Avira Anti-Virus
*Installed FSX Gold
Then I went to Simviation Forums and followed Nick Needhams instructions:XP/Windows Setup, System Optimizing and Drivers and also Clean FSX, Acceleration, SP1 & SP2 Install! It is important you follow these instructions to the T. Dont Skip anything.
Right now I am on a complete/name defrag using the O&O Defrag. Its a little tedious I admit but its worth it I think.I hope to be back in the air by this weekend!
I hope this can help you are someone you know who is having issues. I also found on simviation a reduced autogen pack that takes some of the textures and autogen and reduces the texture size which in turn will increase you frames. I got about a 10fps boost, results may very for others so be forwarned. And as always when your messing with textures always make a backup first.
