CYVR and Addon Manager

[FlyingAce]

The CYVR manual says to ensure that the "Force HD Textures" option is enabled. But in addon manager that option is greyed out with 4096x4096 selected. Is that what they mean by enabled? Also, the HIGMEMFIX, UsePools settings, do I need to insert those in the fsx.cfg file as well? At the moment I only have the AffinityMask=84 setup in my sfx.cfg file.

If you use FSX Steam Edition, there's no need to use the Addon Manager to enable 4096x4096 textures, since the normal "Max Texture Size" slider in the Steam version has TWO notches more (which still read "Very High" on all 3 highest settings so yes, this is a bit confusing...), with the highest two (not available in FSX regular version) being 2048x2048 and 4096x4096.

That's why the Addon Manager intentionally disable that switch when running under FSX Steam Edition, since it's not needed anymore. But you still have to set it to the maximum value with the standard slider, if you want to use 4096x4096 textures.

Also, the HIGMEMFIX, UsePools settings, do I need to insert those in the fsx.cfg file as well? At the moment I only have the AffinityMask=84 setup in my sfx.cfg file.

I think HIGHMEMFIX = 1 should be enable by default on FSX:SE. However, if it's not set, it's best to enable it.

For performance balance purposes, is there any way to force FSX Steam Edition to use 2048x2048 textures instead of 4096x4096?  Seems editing the .cfg gets overridden back to 4096 via the Addon Manager.

Try editing the FSX.CFG to set the MAX_TEXTURE_LOAD=2048 before starting the sim.
