April 4, 201115 yr Hi again, Recently got my new computer (see specs) and everything runs fine, everything except FSX. At the moment i only see it using four threads (0,2,4,6) and 2.4-2.7GB of RAM with 4GB remaining overall (including OS etc..). I have tried the AM tweak to no result. What tweaks could everyone recommend to get the best out of this system.

April 4, 201115 yr Author Ok just did those mods and worked brilliantly in areas i was suffering. Will have a look at the shader 3.0 mod. BTW is there absolutely no fix for the RAM? Im sure it would help.

Im sure it would help.Well, you can use this ftweak too:[GRAPHICS]HIGHMEMFIX=1This will help you to get a better RAM usage. But to me a RAM usage of arround 2,5-2,7 GB is quite normal, if this is the usage of FSX only. Best regards, Steffen Fight time: NGX 737-700: 37,0h; -800: 47,2h
April 4, 201115 yr Author But what im saying is i have plenty of RAM so it would be of benefit if it used more.
