Hi Chris,You should simply over clock your processor to ~ 3.8 to 4 GHz. :( With this power under the hood you can find a sweet spot between visuals and performance. For my system the sweet spot is this one here: http://www.flugsimulation.ch/forum/showpos...;postcount=1269

Cheers for the link, i believe this is the fsx bible! I will be re-installing fsx in a bit so will follow this to the letter. Thanks againChris

Or if you want to spend a few bucks and save yourself a LOT of time and aggravation, you could talk to the folks at www.fs-gs.comA few hours with them and your machine will run FSX to perfection. I use a 3 year old machine now that was setup by them, and I have yet to have need of another 'tweak' for FSX.

They use MSN Messenger and voice comms. It usually takes 2 sessions of about 3-5 hours each, but it depends on your system.
