Add HIGHMEMFIX=1 in [GRAPHICS] section. It allows FSX to manage more video memory.

Simply delete it and and next time you start FSX it will create a new one you can add your HIGHMEM tweak to.

Try looking at www.scan.co.uk, plenty of choice there.

Hi After I upgraded PFPX from 1.15 to 1.16 I experienced the same issue. There is a thread on this in the PFPX support forum at the aerosoft website. Until a fix is issued the suggestion is to downgrade to 1.15. Hope that helps Stewart

Yes with RAID 0 if one disk fails you lose everything. AS RAID O remains unsupported with regards to TRIM I decided to have a single Intel SSD for my 64-bit OS and the new Corsair Force for FSX. If TRIM ever gets supported for RAID then I can always change in the future. Stewart

Thanks, I had looked at one forum which siad you could TRIM RAID 0 SSD's and then they said you couldn't.I have asked for a quote, will be expensive but I only change my pc every 4 or 5 years.

Seems I was mistaken and TRIM remains unsupported for RAID arrays. Back to the drawing board.....

I would be grateful for advice as I spec an i7 980x build for FSX. I am buying a SATA III MB (Asus P6X58D). Now that Windows 7 and Intel apparently support TRIM for RAID 0 SSD's would a pair of SATA II 160Gb Intel V2 SSD's in RAID 0 be better than a single 256 MB SATA III Crucial RealSSD? If I buy a small SSD for the OS (Win 7 64-bit) does that get TRIM support too? There is not too much difference in price but of course extra storage would come with RAID 0. I am however unsure about the performance difference.Thanks for your opinionsStewart

Has anyone heard of cryopc in the UK? (www.cryopc.co.uk). They are offering the i780x at 5.2Ghz with the Corsair H50 water cooler. I was considering this with an Asus P6X58D motherboard and a 256 Gb Crucial Real SSD. Still undecided with ATI or nvidia. Although expensive does this sound reasonable (particularly the stable o/c) or overkill for FSX?I would appreciate your thoughtsStewart

Might be worth trying Vadim, they seem to indicate availablity.http://www.vadim.co.uk/product36856/Intel+...1333FSB+6Mb-bq_Stewart

Dear AllI would be grateful for any comments on Solid State Drives which are now being offered (albeit at some considerable cost!)by some manufacturers such as Alienware. Currently the maximum drive is 64 Gb though you can go to 128 Gb on a RAID array. No doubt the prices will fall as the 128 Gb drives appear next Spring. Is there a sufficient bottle-neck on hard disks to justify the cost?RegardsStewart

I appreciate there is never a good time to buy a new computer however there does seem to be a lull at present as regards hardware to run FSX. Does anyone know if the Intel Bearlake chipset with its support for DDR3 and PCIE2 wil make such a difference that its worth waiting for? I'd appreciate advice.RegardsStewartnr EGPF

Thanks very much Iain. Much appreciated. Any chance you have the Marseille flight (LMFL)?RegardsStewart

I would be grateful for any up to date Ryanair flight plans from Prestwick (EGPK) to Europe, in particular Italy, France and Spain.Thanks in anticipationStewart

I am very interested. Please keep me posted with details of the planned event. RegardsStewartGlasgow, UK
