![]() Nov 30, 2015 - Flight Simulator X set a new benchmark upon its release in 2006, however no. Ok now here is a decision point to keep all of those downloaded aircraft. Here you want to grab the following folders: Addon Scenery, Effects,. Highmemfix=1 – place under [GRAPHICS] headline in your FSX.cfg file. Fix required for correct memory addressing during texture loading (helps prevent OOM errors). Not necessary in FSX Steam Edition. Not a tweak per se but I feel it is important to mention that you need to have a proper FSX version installed. That means: • FSX with SP1 and SP2 (installed in this order) • FSX with Acceleration pack (service packs included – do not install) • FSX:SE (Steam Edition – service packs and Acceleration included – do not install). Other tweaks All other fsx.cfg modifications and tweaks are not obligatory. Some may improve your performance or quality. There are some outdated tweaks – leftovers from earlier version of FSX (SP1 or base version without any Service Packs) or even earlier version of Flight Simulator. FSX Settings vs fsx.cfg I will indicate in this guide which values change positions of sliders in FSX settings. Be aware that changes in FSX settins may overwrite your fsx.cfg tweaks. In my opinion it’s best not to use FSX display menu at all. Ads and your help pay for keeping this site online. Thanks for your support!:) fsx.cfg structure It is a simple configuration file that uses single line commands containing a name of the setting and value with “=” character in between. Section headers are wrapped in square brackets. For example: [GRAPHICS]. Double slash – // – marks comment – a part of line (or the whole line) that will be ignored by FSX. Your fsx.cfg may include more lines that I described here. I omitted elements that should not be edited and some that are not relevant to performance and graphics. Tweaking – the general idea and procedure As I already wrote – make sure that you have SP2 or Acceleration or FSX:SE installed. Add UIAutomationCore.dll to your FSX folder. Then navigate to your fsx.cfg location and make a backup copy. Then you may proceed with obligatory HIGHMEMFIX. Now you are ready to start tweaking and testing your FSX. There are no settings that are always correct! Remember this. Use settings that are appropriate to your setup (Hardware + FSX + Add-ons). Different add-ons (planes, sceneries, even weather settings) may require different tweaks and different configuration. All your tweaks and settings have to be adjusted to your personal preferences. Some people will be ok with 20 frames per second and better graphics. Others will settle with lower quality and constant 30 fps. My personal preference is to keep the highest quality that will allow at least a stable 18-20 frames on approach to the heaviest scenery that I use at the moment. It means that I have constant 30 frames inflight and I have no stutters in this difficult part of flight.
