I recently was fine tuning fsx to give me the most realistic experience. Long story short, this site http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html fixed my fsx config and now I can run fsx on maxed out settings with REX Overdrive, Scenery tech scenery and FS Genesis mesh and it gave me 50-90 frames. I used to get 40 at most.

Anyways, check this site out and follow the instructions

I can't really comment if their graphics went down because I have no idea if they were using default textures or addon ones like me.

The only real change for me was that I could run the game maxed out except for autogen so I kept it on sparse, however I wanted more realism so I maxed it out, that is what kills my frames.

What I did was use the config they gave me and now I got the increase in fps. My graphics didn't change one bit.

I didn't use v-sync and I don't use an external frame limiter. I used to have my frames locked at 30 but it would make my computer really hot so I decide to put it to unlimited and now it runs at a nice temperature.

The only thing this website does is increase fps, and it only changed 1 thing which was turning off "aircraft casts shadow on ground" which I turned back on.

Also I didn't see any posts when I was searching about decreased graphics. Hope this helped.

Personally, after running my FSX.cfg through it, not only did my FPS increase (about 10-15), but a noticeable increase in graphics (textures looked sharper and everything in general look "realer" - if that make any sense).

Ok, I decided to give it a shot.  It basically added a bunch of new stuff to my cfg.

First impression is WOW   fps shot up by about 10-15fps.  I just did a quick take off from CYYZ and KJFK and it seems so much smoother.  Oh man, big props to Jesus for helping FS fans.

Now I plan to try it with v-sync off.  Didn't know it affects performance.  I've been using it for a long time.  If image tearing is not too bad, I'll leave it off. 

Now, it did tell me to use an external fps limiter @30fps.  Gonna have to try that too. 

And I thought my default cfg settings were fine lol.  THANKS guys

I have downloaded the new cfg file to try I take it that I replace the original with this (saving a copy first of course)

Can some one tell me where I find my FSX CFG file I have looked in the FSX files and can not find it ?
I presume it is hidden ?

I am using W7 64 bit

Thanks very much I have found the file and replaced the cfg with the new one.

I can not say I have found any difference at present, but my computer is fairly high spec. anyway

I have also downloaded the external frame limiter (RAR file) but I do not really know what this is or where it goes
If some one can give me the info. thanks.
