for the small image but couldn't make it any bigger! Hopefully you can make out what settings are set. I've posted my.cfg too just incase.%20image%20upload"]http:// image upload[/url]

The file called CustomSettingNames_en-EN.xml is missing in the nVidia Inspector root directory. You just need to go to the original download page and get the whole package, not only the installer:http://downloads.guru3d.com/downloadget.php?id=2612&file=1&evp=322d5fe0e78d2ceb5a2c90429ea7c671

Ah right, I'll give that a go. What exactly does that do? Sorry for all the questions, it's a new world to me!

CustomSettingNames, the file name is quite self explanatory It defines names in english (en-EN) for the different settings, so for example ANISO_MODE_SELECTOR_USER will show as "User defined"It's just a way to "translate" the settings names into more comprehensive onesYour settings will look like ours once you add it, and you'll be able to set your profile like the rest of us

Ah ok, I understand now. I'll give it a go tomorrow. Problem I'm having too is understanding what every setting means and what effect it has on FSX, it's a hell of a trial and error game! I'll let you know how I get on, cheers for your help, it was getting to the point of nearly launching my new PC across the estate I was that frustrated.

Check this out for a good explanation of what does what: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/324786-nvidia-configuration-guide-inspector-2xxxx-drivers-version-20-explanations-of-all-settings/With your GTX580 I would try the settings I posted at #8 here. Play with it and pick what works for you.

Ok so I've done what you said and set the settings to the same as yours and it runs quite well, apart from these annoying horizontal lines, especially noticeable when I fly at night. I've done some searching and may have found the problem. I'm running a VGA cable and I think I really need a DVI, quite a few posts about it on various forums. I'll give it a try and see, fingers crossed.

Well that's sorted, DVI did the trick, looks bloody awesome now. Thankyou for your help!

Glad you sorted it out, would have liked to have seen a screenshot, still not sure what the issue was.

I tried to get a screenshot but the lines didn't really show up. They were horizontal interference lines going right across the screen, only did it when under load, hence why they did it in FSX. I've always used a VGA on my old PC but that didn't have the hardware mine has and I got no issues. But the VGA cable didn't like the GTX 580! Can't believe I didn't think of it first. Oh well, thanks again guys.
