Is the subject tip valid for FSX / Win 7-64 users? It's directed at FSX / Win XP users but may have been prepared before release of Win 7.

Thus my question.

Thanks,

Ken Boardman

Not at my home computer to take a look at the manuals. To what tip are you referring?

It has to do with an available patch to the FSX.exe that allows it to access greater than 2GB of RAM. I'm thinking that perhaps this

shortcoming has already been cured in FSX service packs (or Acceleration update) or in some other way. I'm just hoping for

confirmation from someone who knows about this.

Thanks for responding Kyle.

If it's referring to the HIGHMEMFIX, you should apply it on any OS. I'd have to actually read it to confirm, however.

 

In any case, if you haven't yet, go here and upload your FSX.cfg (the page tells you where to find it) and tweak it. It's amazing how simple some tweaks are to get better performance:

(The site will add in the HIGHMEMFIX for you, as well)

Thank you for the FSX.cfg tip Kyle. When you've had an opportunity to read "page 62" I'd be pleased to read any ideas you have

regarding it's application (or not) to Win 7-64 + FSX Acceleration.

Best regards,

Ken

Page 62 of what manual as there are a few couldnt find the page your were refering to

If you're talking about /largeadressaware then it's already in place with acceleration.

Ok found the page it was 59, the 3gb switch your talking about? since you got 6gb i wouldnt worry about it, and i think its only used for xp users only someone will confirm

...regarding it's application (or not) to Win 7-64 + FSX Acceleration.

 

Not applicable...

only applies to 32-bit OS's (regardless of version)

Thank you for the tips and for putting this into perspective.

Best to all,

Ken
