I write this to help people :) Core2Duo E8400 @3ghz, 9800gt 1gb, 4gh Ram, 7200rpm HDD, WIN7 64bit REX2, GEX & UTX USA First thing you should do is read all of the Introduction PDF that comes with this fine aircraft. Tweaking FSX settings and fsx.cfg is a must if you are not happy with current performance Go to venetubo/fsx.com and create a fsx.cfg. Choose to save it where ever your current fsx.cfg is and overwrite it. Right click this new cfg and in properties change to "open with Notepad" (this gives you an interaface to actually see and configure the cfg yourself) . Now if you have a widescreen enter the cfg which will open in Notepad and look for WideViewAspect=False. Change the False to True. This takes far better advantage of your widescreen making VC flying bounds easier. Also you can stop those messages that show your using the brake in FSX by changing True to False where it says InfoBrakesEnable=True and InfoParkingBrakesEnable=True. Save the above changes and exit. NSX settings are F/O displays off and VC fps all at 10. Sitting on 07L at LAX in VC with 0.60 zoom, fine weather I get from 18-25fps. Without mouse pointer on screen jumps to 30-35fps. If you would like to know my internal fsx settings just ask. Thanks

Apart form the CPU (E7600) i have the exact same system. I can't wait to get my hands on the plane to see how it'll do.
