Wycliffe Barrett Posted January 24, 2012 at 10:12 AM Posted January 24, 2012 at 10:12 AM How long is a piece of string? For any chance of an answer you need to provide far more information than that. Such as processor mobo how much ram type of monitors resolution etc etc. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to ask the question on google, you probably will get an answer. Infact I psated your question into Google and this was the first hit of many http://fsxtimes.wordpress.com/2011/07/16/my-best-fsx-setup-2011-0302/ have a look.

Erhan Atesoglu 1050499 Posted January 24, 2012 at 09:30 PM Posted January 24, 2012 at 09:30 PM Jeffrey: none. you need to match the internal slider settings according to what aircraft scenery you are using. So just benchmark everything and scale back to get the FPS you desire. For example PMDG uses very high detail bitmaps and a lot of them, so you can't share the same settings for the NGX and the Aerosoft A32X. Some places you probably don't have airport scenery so you would again use different settings for addons versus default. Benchmark, benchmark, and benchmark again. Only way. No static file manipulation is going to solve problems when the root cause is you throwing too much for your machine to handle http://www.pond64.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Streiff 1113976 Posted January 25, 2012 at 10:22 PM Author Posted January 25, 2012 at 10:22 PM Thanks for the above info. I am hesitant to modify the FSX.cfg files, however the following link is helpful. http://fsxtimes.wordpress.com/2011/08/31/my-fsx-tuning-part-2-display-card/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
