Higher settings impact performance but look better. Water effects controls the wave action and reflection in water.Set to 7 cm so that all terrain textures and photoreal overlays will display at their highest potential resolution. Texture resolution determines the maximum resolution that terrain textures will be loaded.Many addons require a certain resolution but there is no default FSX mesh of a higher resolution than 10m Mesh resolution is the resolution of the terrain mesh itself.A lower number will load lower resolution mesh at a distance Mesh complexity impacts how far away mesh will retain a high resolution.The higher this is set the less blurry distant terrain will be at the expense of increased memory usage and decreased performance Level of detail radius impacts the sharpness of terrain around the user.

Aircraft self-shadowing is also bugged and decreases performance but adds depth and shading to aircraft.Aircraft shadows add depth to the sim but are somewhat bugged and decrease performance.High resolution 3-D virtual cockpit should be left enabled for best detail.Advanced animations allows many object animations to display, leave this checked.Light bloom adds a subtle bloom but decreases performance.Lens flare enables a camera-like flare when looking at the sun.

Advantages are increased performance, enhanced lighting, and cockpit shadows Many addons and even default objects will not display properly and anti-aliasing does not work. This will allow FSX to load texture sheets up to 1024x1024
