I appreciate your feedback, Zylx. Thank you.

- Higher weather settings like cloud coverage and cloud distance used to cause me issues. - Certain water settings was a big issue for me with flashing. I would experiment with different settings. - Orbx HR buildings cause turn stutters for me during turns, but as a rule Orbx scenery works perfectly for me. - High traffic settings around big airports might do that as well. It might be fun to set the simulator to the lowest possible settings and notch up 1 setting per session to find the sweet spot (using the same location and the same airplane). I did that once as a test to simulate FS-9 settings.

I'm not running FSX/A gold in any compatibility mode myself. I'm only checking run as administrator. No issues with any payware except A2A and simconnect.

Some more of my settings. ------------- [GRAPHICS] HIGHMEMFIX=1 ALLOW_SHADER_30=1 STALE_BUFFER_THRESHOLD=1024 // Valid values are 5-1024 ------------ [Display] TextureMaxLoad=12 //trying to eliminate black terrain squares ---------------- [JOBSCHEDULER] AffinityMask=14 ---------------- AirlineDensity=20 GADensity=10 FreewayDensity=2 ShipsAndFerriesDensity=10 LeisureBoatsDensity=5 IFROnly=0 AIRPORT_SCENERY_DENSITY=2 <MyTrafficPro 6> --------------------------------- [SCENERY] LENSFLARE=0 DAWN_DUSK_SMOOTHING=1 IMAGE_COMPLEXITY=3 //IMAGE_COMPLEXITY=5 Extremely Dense //IMAGE_COMPLEXITY=4 Very Dense //IMAGE_COMPLEXITY=3 = Dense //IMAGE_COMPLEXITY=2 Normal //IMAGE_COMPLEXITY=1 Sparse //IMAGE_COMPLEXITY=0 Very Sparse ----------------------------------------- [TERRAIN] LOD_RADIUS=4.500000 //LOD_RADIUS=4.5 //higher settings less scenery popping MESH_COMPLEXITY=100 MESH_RESOLUTION=23 TEXTURE_RESOLUTION=29 AUTOGEN_DENSITY=2 DETAIL_TEXTURE=1 WATER_EFFECTS=4 --------------------- I'm not an expert, it's all trial and error I've used over the years past. I'm playing FSX/A on Windows 11 64 bit, and I'm using the big box FSX/A Gold edition. People can argue about tweaks all they want, means nothing to me. The goal is to make whichever owned game to work without too much issue.

Not an expert but I can post what information I have. ============ [BUFFERPOOLS] //UsePools=0 UsePools=1 Poolsize=8388608 //1000, 4000, 8388608 (NickN), 15000000, 100000000, 200000000, 850000000 RejectThreshold=126976, // 512K=524288, 256K=262144, 124K=126976 (NickN), 96K=98304 //UsePools 0 should make FSX work better if the graphics card is higher end //If the CPU is stronger than the GPU, such as a 4.5-gig CPU feeding a 560TI with only a gig of video //ram - we will definitely need UsePools =1, but with a bigger RT, say 1MB (10485760). //If you get constant white or blue 'box' visual glitches and you are sure //you have HIGHMEMFIX=1 in the config, then raise to:RejectThreshold=262144

On my W11 computer, FSX/A struggles with VAS. Also, (for me) huge issues with simconnect. If I had the energy I would dump W11 immediately.

In my previous iteration of FSX/A (Windows 7 64) the radio towers were much too high, reaching towards the sky. Someone had fixed that and made the fix freely available for download. I had the file on my previous computer, but can no longer find it. Perhaps someone has the file or the download link. Thank you

a2a stable of airplanes refuse to accept my simconnect versions, or perhaps I should say sometimes they work, but mostly not. These are the freely downloadable simconnect versions available to everyone. I have all of the simconnect versions. I'd like to say I downloaded all from Just Flight recently, but I already had every one of the files. It's only a2a planes. No joy at a2a forums, I'm told it's my fault for still using FSX/A. That may or may not be since I'm now using Windows 11, but that's now how I purchased the planes. These planes worked perfectly with FSX/A when I was using Windows 7 64. I don't have the time to invest in another (newer) simulation, so that's not an option.

Apply the W7 version, run as administrator, W7 compatibility setting, initial testing positive.

Windows 11 - FSX/A Can not get auto thumbnail to work. Installs correctly, have the original and the latest update that purportedly works on W7 and above. Have installed it many times but never on W11, am experienced FSX user. Hopefully I overlooked something simple and someone can offer advice, thank you.

thank you, Ray

Considering a move to P3D, but their website only sells v.6. However, I may be wrong. How does a home user purchase and download specific versions of P3D?

RIP Claude, my uncle was a MM Master and bar pilot for many, many years. They are a different breed.

Here's my solution. I've been on board eliminating tweaks in the configuration file, thinking less is more. However, with my new more powerful computer I've been CTD with my stable of A2A airplanes. With my old Windows 7 rig I never had this issue, so I tried reverting to some settings that I used with Windows 7. Adding this tweak back in to my configuration fixed the A2A airplane CTD problem. No idea why it works. [JOBSCHEDULER] AffinityMask=14

I'm on a new computer with Windows 11, a new video card and the updated CPU. I had much better success with Windows 7 even with the less powerful CPU and video. I'm not flying FSX Gold with drastically increased settings, in fact I struggle using the same settings with the A2A stable of planes, and 1 specific Carenado plane (D18S). I wonder if the Steam memory management would address this situation to a more positive experience. I've also made an attempt to uninstall many W11 apps and tried to reduce the overhead, whatever that is. Maybe I'm not managing W11 correctly enough for FSX/Gold. Opinion welcome.

I understand now. Thank you Russell.

I'm unsure what setting the binds meaning is. My throttle is still stuck at 2% minimum no matter what I do. It's workable, but not perfect.

thanks Bob.

I hope the title conveys what I'm getting at. Quite often my throttle is stuck at 2-3% and will go no lower. Even with the throttle quadrant pulled all back. What about editing the individual plane configuration min_throttle_limit. Not sure editing this makes a difference. Any opinions welcome. CH Throttle Pro

I do that with my FSX configurations, regular flying/bush flying/retro reduced settings flying, etc. I just do a clumsy, file copy sans batch files. I may try that with the controls section.

I often think about purchasing the Steam edition just to bypass the need for DVD's, since I had to purchase an outboard DVD player for the new computer. However, still using FSX Gold. Even have my original FSX plus Acceleration collection. It was interesting to hear about some quirks with Steam that I did not know about.

FSX/Orbx, still (need to) use medium settings when flying my favorite planes, generally A2A purchases. Although I spend as much time and distance as possible away from big cities, in any country that I fly. Which helps, quite a bit. I'm also not too keen on the Nellis area now and seldom use it. It's been awhile but it seems like the (AI) parking is messed up when I use My Traffic 6 Pro. I not be managing the 2 products together correctly. Lack of energy and time.

I think this was solved with the following missing setting. Thanks Luke. Antialiasing Compatibility - DIABLO III

Experienced FSX user here, looking to be double checked. New computer, new FSX/Accel boxed installation. Latest Nvidia driver installed via Nick N procedure. Deleted FSX.cfg trying to fix, no change. flushed shader cache, no change. Windows 11 Nvidia inspector 2.4.0.4 ver. is not affecting FSX in game. Everything is moderately jagged and not like it was under the previous W7 installation. Inspector is not smoothing out the software picture within the application. Maybe other flyers are using an older version of Nvidia Inspector with success. That's the only thing I can think of. If you are please list which version and where, and any other ideas.
