How does that edit work for you Ryan? Good, bad?

Mine is pretty similar, except few changes here and there.

UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=40
TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=100
TextureMaxLoad=10


My understanding is that these three values are related, generally as (TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT * TEXTUREMAXLOAD) / UPPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT. This controls how many textures will be loaded per frame, so lowering TEXTUREMAXLOAD and raising UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT may actually reduce performance in other ways.

Cheers!

I tweaked mine using the web resources,and it is very clearly suggested to set the texture_bandwith at 400 for FS9 and 70-90 for FSX.

Yeah I'd love to have your fs9.cfg Luke because if anyone knows something about editing such it would be you. My PC is struggling some lately. Been playing with the cfg trying to improve frames in high density areas.
