Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Aerosoft Share Posted October 20, 2014 Gents, I got to apologize as I was feeding you incorrect information. The “WXBackgroundScan” parameter has only affect if WX RADAR is switched OFF! If RADAR is switched ON, it will work WITHOUT ANY LIMITATION! WXBackgroundScan=2 (or as default no “WXBackgroundScan” parameter line at all in INI): FULL SCAN in background when RADAR off (this allows faster access to current complex WX situation as soon as Radar is switched on). But generally the scan rate of collected data is lower if RADAR is off, if Radar is ON the rate is increased.WXBackgroundScan=1: LIMITED SCAN in background when RADAR off. This reduces the background load when RADAR is off. WXBackgroundScan=0: Disables ALL background scanning of all WX data if WX RADAR is switched OFF! If Radar is switched on, all scans are working unlimited. WXBackgroundScanProto=1 enables logging options, activate those on our demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Ok tested and approved all is working fine for me now....no more fps drop with WXBackgroundScan=0 and radar off. Thank you Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsvette12 53 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I think you meant this...? Because with those // in front of the lines, changing the numbers won't help. Thanks Jeroen - I also found that wxr can be turned on as stated by Mathijs but I guess its not doing much unless you turn it on - long as its off and not causing problems its good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tup61 185 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 but I guess its not doing much unless you turn it on - long as its off and not causing problems its good Well, actually, it's the other way around: this tweak only has effect with the radar off. The problem is that with the radar off it IS doing much, in the background! As soon as you turn the radar on, this tweak does nothing anymore. So if you usually keep the radar off, you actually should use this tweak! The nice thing is that you can always use the radar anyway: with this option at 0 you only have to wait a while before it shows the weather. I have this setting at 0 because I rather use the resources for something else and never use the radar anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim (Joe) 48 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Thank you Mathijs for clearing that up and explaining the features, I suppose apart from the delay when using the WX radar, there is no harm when turning off the background scanning, one would still get the full weather radar, it's just about loading the weather data faster when turning it on?

MSR_CEO 4 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Hi All I do confirming the part of 2 / 1 / and 0....nut still when Wx Radar is on the FPS go dramatically down "for me it is from steady 30 to 15-17 only.....when start moving with the bus to takeoff it decreases even more.....I believe that my system is strong enough to not having performance issues like this :/ Could any one confirm that problem in V 1.00?? I didn't try it on my PC....just on my old laptop during my last vacation....it was stuttering as the laptop is old...so is it there in that version?? my PC: i7 4770k 3.5 Nvidia Titan 6 gb ram16 gb ram 250 gb ssd hard for system and fsx1 T hard for data 1050 wt power supply Antic liquid cooling system. Maximus VI Asus motherboard Windows 7 ultimate 64 any advise from experts to improve the performance?...I'm getting with AXE FPS : if afcad I got 30-50 fps, if mega 25-32 Thanks in advance.

The only cause we have been able to come up with it related to simConnect. When that communication channel starts to get overloaded it might cause an overall degradation. Why this exacty happens on some system and not on the vast majority is still a mystery to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSR_CEO 4 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Do we have something to do with simconnect in this regard? BTW, performed a clean windows install and installed so many thing to the system but not everything. Noticed one thing, after installing axe, everything was just perfect (1.16 plus hotfix 19) fps were like 40 to 55....after installing the new bus, the fps dramatically reduced even also for axe itself...... Might this help you at aerosoft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSR_CEO 4 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Do you think that this is an error in simconnect itself? I mean we can repair it for example? My view based on the changes happened in the the axe itself after installing the new bus.... As it was working normally with very good fps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted October 27, 2014 Author Aerosoft Share Posted October 27, 2014 But the A318/A319 has more systems so behaves different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSR_CEO 4 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Yeah that's visible.... But why the installation affected the axe itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted October 27, 2014 Author Aerosoft Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hold on, now I understand that you mean "why does the installation of the A318/A1319 affect the A320/A321 Extended". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like to discuss this further let's open a new topic as this is about the WX settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsal 38 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Does this tweek need to be done again after installing the new A320/1, I don't see the weather radar entries in the AB_ND_GDI.ini file after installing the new A320/1. Never mind mind just saw the other tread with same question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4161 Posted November 12, 2014 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 12, 2014 That's correct. Those lines are only optional. So if you have no issues, simply leave it as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4161 Posted November 12, 2014 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 12, 2014 BTW the lines you posted above are wrong.
