[NGX 1]

Hi all, First post so here goes. Looking to build an ultra-high performance FSX machine as my Dell XPS 15 doesn't quite cut it, although does surprisingly not too bad. Here are the specs I'm looking to build. i7-2600K (to be OCd)Corsair H100 Extreme Liquid CoolingCorsair Graphite 600T Limited Edition WhiteAsus P8Z68-V Pro 1155 MoboCorsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz CL8 Low voltage Ram2x eVGA nVidia GTX 570 Superclocked SLICorsair Force Series 3 120GB SATA 6GB/s SSD (OS/FSX)WD 600GB Sata 6GB/s VRapOCZ ZX Series 1000W '80 Plus Gold' Modular PSU3D 24" LED 1080p Monitor (Samsung or LG)Nvidia 3D kitSome form of Blu-ray disk player Also: on my laptop I am having an issue with Bojote's external FPS limiter. I get an error when it tries to run FSX.exe when running the .bat, but running FSX.exe directly, FSX starts fine. Error code 0xc0000005Thanks all

Look here at #4 for solution of the Limiter

FSX does not support SLI or Crossfire. But other games do.

Followed that to the letter, still getting FSX.exe error.

I need the SLI for other unrelated software usage. Ignore the SLI.

Hmmmm, sort of a general error. Could be anything. Java up to date? Have you updated the laptop with the latest .NET 4.0 and 3.5 framework?

[NGX 1]

start C:\"FSX\"FPS_Limiter.exe /r:D3D9 /f:30 /x:OFF /l:OFF "C:\FSX\fsx.exe

And Windows update shows no updates available. Java is fully up to date.

On the link a user has a similar problem and has solved it. It's somewhere near the bottom of the post. http://nzff.org/foru...showtopic=15131 Could you move your fsx.cfg and then let fsx rebuild it.

Problem was my java (which was up to date) must've been corrupt because a Java reinstall fixed it. However, I now have a new problem. Because this is a laptop, it has integrated Intel HD Graphics and also has a nvidia GT525M graphics. How can I get FSX to use my GT525 instead of Intel Integrated?

There are two GFX cards in your system on a laptop ? It would be better if you could disable it from the BIOS. Do both cards show up in the device manager ?
