FSX Scenery Load Manager

[speedy70]

Recently somebody (It may have been Ron) posted about a program to control what scenery is loaded at any session in FSX.

What was the name of the program and where can I get it?

That would be SIMStarter NG (which is good for P3D v3 as well).

There's a useful guide for it on YouTube:

Hi Graham.
Thanks that's the one.Do you use it?

Cheers Chris

[GrahamP]

Yes, I like it. Once you work out how to use it you can set up profiles with whatever scenery areas and settings you want.

Graham,
I would imagine it can save on loading time and frame rates.

Are you using the free one or the paid one?

Cheers Chris

[GrahamP]

Yes, loading time depending on how much you are loading and obviously frame rates depending on settings. I have the latest (payware) version, SIMStarter NG. The older SIMStarter is freeware. I don't know how much difference there is between the two, other than NG is P3D v3 compatible.

You may also want to have a look at SceneryConfig Editor at Sourceforge - https://sourceforge.net/projects/fs-sceditor/ (Freeware)

I have both the SimStarter and SceneryConfig editor and personally prefer the latter - easier to use.

I now have both!!!
I had the scenery config editor before and think it is great.
I have not tried the other one yet.
