Well I have been trying for 3 months to find tweaks that will work for my Flight Simulator X with SP1 installed, if anyone can recommend some tweaks that will work for me please give them to me please. Most of the other tweaks that I use only slow my FSX down so much more.

 

My specs are

 

Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHz 1 thread

 

4G ram installed only 3.19 being used

 

32bit

 

ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Series 1439 total memory using only 64MB

You should install at least SP2. Acceleration is better. Some improvements in the FSX code.

 

Did you check out the tweaks offered in the Software and Hardware guide by Srdan Word Not Allowed? It's pinned at the top of the Hardware Forum here on AVSIM. Have you also tried having your fsx.cfg tweaked by Bojote? I don't have the link available but a search for Bojote tweaks will give you a link.

 

Best regards,

Jim

Thank you Jim I have tried Bojote and actually get worse frames with it but I will check out the post by Srdan Word Not Allowed thank you

I agree regarding ******* Bojote's tweaks. If you have a powerful system, you really should need too many tweaks. I think Srdan provides the best compromises. Just remember no tweaks will fix turning all your sliders up to the max.

It is nearly impossible to get FSX, even without any complex addons, to run fluidly on your rig. At least you have to use very low resolution and turn details down. Problem one: you have ancient single core Pentium 4, which was pretty much old stuff already at the time when FSX came out (Core 2 Duo came out Feb 2006). It just doesn't pack enough punch. Problem two and most likely a worse one: You try to run your game with integrated Xpress 200 graphics chip, which is based on some sluggish X300 GPU. Those chips were slow in 3D already by every standard in 2006. Actually, those chips weren't meant to be used at all with high end games, but were used mainly with business desktops and one version (X200M) was popular with laptops around 2005.I'm sorry, but no tweak is going to make run FSX fine on your rig. If you are still going to try, turn sliders to minimum, ditch AA, AF and keep res very low.

As TheGrunt said, this is just too old computer to run FSX. Before you give yourself any more aggrevation, I strongly suggest you install and enjoy FS9, as good as it's going to work on your setup!

Yeah, unfortunately, your computer doesn't have the grunt to run fsx. Minimum requirements are a complete joke. Even now, 95% of computers struggle to run fsx with all settings maxed out. :angry: But, what are you going to do? Switch to P3D for me, once it gets a strong enough add on database.

FSX may run well enough if you run the absolute lowest settings possible. You would be much better off running FS 2004 (FS9), but even then you will have to make some compromises due to your hardware.

Thanks everyone right now I am thinking about getting a new PC if you have an recommendations of what it should have let me know

I hope you have seen my guide (check the link to my blog in my sig). It offers almost anything you would need to know for buying hardware for FSX. Alternatively check the hardware forums.
