of course everyone is here, but I'm an almost noob to this thing. How do i get the framerates up on the screen?How do I get real life airlines in the game, like United, Delta, American, etc?Why does my airplane not say crashed when I fly it into an elephant?Dupo

Hi Dupo, Welcome to FSX.Just hit SHIFT-Z a few times and you'll see various information displayed at the top of the screen, including the frame rate.If you're interested in modding FSX, then here's one possibility:Look in the Avsim file library and you'll find aircraft with real-life airline paint jobs. You can also get airline repaints for the default aircraft.Unfortunately that's the easy bit as now you'll need to do a bit of 'programming'. There's a great program called Traffic Tools (it's probably in the Avsim library). You can use this to assign your new aircraft as AI traffic. You could re-assign default aircraft so your own aircraft are used instead. Or you could create entirely new flights between airports for your own aircraft.I'm not an expert on Traffic Tools but I have used it and it's great. There's a Traffic Tools forum right here at Avsim.Best regards, Chris
