Nick's tweaks are best. Below are the links for the FSX and Win7 guidance:http://www.simforums.com/forums/setting-up-fsx-and-how-to-tune-it_topic29041.htmlhttp://www.simforums.com/forums/topic34141_post198187.html#198187Most of the FSX tweaks are also applied for FS9, but if you want an FS9 specific guide, there also was one at SimForums, so just give it a quick search.

Nick has also provided a list for FS9 settings, available here:http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb25/YaBB.pl?num=1211055375/0#7If only I could find a tweak guide for ATI GPUs....Best regards from Colombia,Luis Miguel

I mainly use FSX but still enjoy FS2004. Are theses tweaks performance tweaks or quality tweaks?

You are looking for the same clues as me I see. I'm also looking for a guide to increase quality as performance is plenty good on modern hardware.

I would say the best quality tweaks are done by purchasing quality addons! blum.gif

Rafal - let's not forget quality freeware addons! There may not be as many that are cutting edge, but there are definitely some that are equal to most payware... (I know you know that my friend - I'm just saying it because --- errrr ---- because --- Okay, I don't know why, it just seemed like the thing to say! LOL

Now , I would like some usefull information.
I have just given one. As frank as it could be.If you don't find it useful, well, your business.By the way, whose words was I answering?

Lots of good freeware and payware scenery, but they still don't solve problems with fs2004 performance.

they still don't solve problems with fs2004 performance.
So what finally: quality or performance?I am lost myself...

Less performance tolerated if higher quality can be obtained. :)
