Will be interesting to know if others find this improves their AI loading stutters too.I did some speed tests on the ramdisk and the read speed was 4772 MB/s so pretty fast :) My entry was as follows: SimObjectPaths.0=D:\AirplanesI also set AirlineDensity=50Thats it. In my case this was the Lear45 Folder.I then modified my FSX.CFG file so SimObjectPaths.0 pointed to my ramdisk Airplanes folder instead of the SimObjects\Airplanes folder. Im sure there are others that do the same thing but this worked in 64bit windows 7 and is dead easy to use.On the RamDisk I then created an Airplanes folder.I then copied the WOAI aircraft files from the FSX SimObjects\Airplanes folder to my ramdisk Airplanes folder.You then need to copy the folder for the aircraft that you will be flying to the ramdisk Airplanes folder.
This installed around 800megabytes of AI aircraft.I created a 850Megabyte Virtual Hard Disk in ram using Superspeed RamDisk Plus. ( all info for these on AVSIM ).The size of the RamDisk you create will determine the amount of AI aircraft you can use but you need to keep at least 3 GIG or ram available for FSX.Here is what I did:-First of all you need to decide what AI you want.I have limited myself to Europe so I installed the WOAI ( World of AI ) packages for the Unighted Kingdon, Germany and France.
I made a comment in Bojote's thread "Automated Tweaking and Tuning tool for FSX" regarding the use of a RamDisk to reduce stutters caused when AI aircraft get loaded.There was some interest shown so rather than hijack Bojote's thread I thought it best to start a new one to give those interested some more info.First to save any confusion I would like to point out that when I refer to RamDisk I am not talking about a SSD Drive but instead a virtual drive that is created in the computers memory ( RAM ).I would not suggest that you try this without first making backups of your fsx.cfg and also your SimObjects\Airplanes folder or if you have less than 4gig of ram.Note that this will only prevent stutters from AI loading so if you are getting them for other reasons it will probably make little difference.Before using this make sure your fsx setup is as optimized as possible and I suggest that you check out Bojote's excellent Automated Tweaking and Tuning tool and also his shader3.0 mod utility.
