What computer Hardware can Handle FSDT the best?

When this happens, you would see only the airplane lights.
--- Quote ---Yes, it's based on Real World, when it comes to what type of metropolis, like a denser area of metropolis, it will change based on that, but every house is the same, and it's all the same square of texture everywhere is has that.

No, you are still confusing it with Autogen+Landclass.
VTP (roads, rivers, coastlines) is entirely different, and it's NOT generic, does NOT generate any houses (that's *Autogen* !) and is usually based on real-world data.
--- Quote ---So as I come to it, the bottom line is basically, "Realism, but slow" or "Fake but fast", you can't have both? Or just set the bar halfway? Or what shouldn't I set to 100%?

You still not getting it: since one of the most impacting factors is Autogen *density* and Autogen is ALWAYS fake, regardless of its density, you are not really choosing between realism, since (as I've said initially) realism for Autogen is very debatable issue, it's more like "I like my view to be xxxx dense".

Not a problem of our sceneries, and nobody ever reported this before. It's more likely your video card is exhausting its memory, and the driver might have issue keeping it up with memory management and swapping in/out of texture from ram to vram. It's likely a video driver issue, or an FSX setting that might be wrong.
Try to use the tool on this website:

Which will create an optimized FSX.CFG for your system, and it also set a few tweaks which improves graphic memory handling.

Umberto,
That tweaker is a godsend, thanks a lot for pointing me towards that - works like a dream.
It raised some of the FSDT KDFW buildings off the ground so I'm reinstalling to see if it fixes the problem.

Ok, my computer software is:
Windows Vista Ultimate Inspiron 1420 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU with 2.00 GB of RAm, and 100 GB of Hard Drive, with only 22 GB Free.
I am considering installing FSX on it, but I don't want to if I know it will be extremely choppy, and freezy, and slow. Does anyone know if it will run smoothly?
I installed FSX on a very old previous computer that was like 10 years old, and had fs9 installed on it as well. FS9 ran fine, but FSX ran so horrible I un-installed it, and never touched it again.
The Computer I listed above (windows vista ultimate) is fairly new, and doesn't have fs9, or much of anything installed on it. I'm seeking some advice on if I should install or not ???

Boone, can I call you Boone? I like your old handle better than Brittney.
Anyway, dont do it. FSX requires 14 GB available hard disk space just by itself. Plus your CPU is two slow and most likely your RAM as well. You would probably have to run it at settings turned down so much that it would probably look about like FS9 but run worse. Plus you should never fill your HD almost to capacity. A general rule of thumb on standard hardrives (not SSD's) is to never go past around 60-70% or so of capacity.
Your going to need something a bit newer and faster if you want to run FSX at decent levels and enjoy it, not to mention a bigger hard drive.

Thanks for the advice, although I am really bummed. :(
