fsautostart: this neat little utility shuts down all those processes in the background, making your flying experience that much smoother. It takes some time to configure, but it's a step-by-step process. The window where you determine what to shut down has a window next to it telling you what to shut down and what to leave alone (it worked GREAT for me).
You can find it here:

The No-CD Override:also improves performance. (at the very least, you don't need to change CDs!) This is NOT a crack and doesn't allow illegal copying.

No-CD patch decreases loadtime... spinup takes at least 2 seconds on a 52x drive

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

I use both of those, and agree they are good. I use the latter more out of convenience than performance.

My system:Intel Q6600@3.6GHz, Corsair XMS2 4GB DDR2-6400 (4-4-4-12-1T) , Sapphire 7850 OC 2BG 920/5000, X-Fi Fatality, Corsair AX 750, 7 Pro x64

Yep there both keepers.i was getting decent performance with out either of those but every little bit helps.but the no cd tweak keeps that disk from getting scratched up.ouch now that would hurt if that disk ever got damaged.so i would say get them both and put that disk 4 up in a safe place.in the long run youll be glad you did.

Another thing that helps to improve performance (on all games) is to configure the appearance for best performance (get rid of the romper-room look, the shadows, etc.) I also ditch unneeded services.
