Dear Avsim Forum,
I am seeking advise as to how I might install FSX resulting in getting rid of the crashes I am plagued with. Below is a description of the hardware and software I have.
My PC has it's OS(win 7 64bit) on a velociraptor c: primary boot drive. I intend to install FSX on my D: drive, a 2GB Western Digital with an OCZ 128gb cache using the caching utility built into my Asus P9X79 Pro firmware. I have 2 other HDD's installed, both 5,400rpm SATA drives, 500Gb and 300Gb respectively.
Is it best practice to install my add-ons on a different drive to where FSX(d:\FSX) will reside?
Should U use the 4GB utility on my fsx.exe file?
I have an Asus Radeon HD 7970 GPU, 16 GB RAM running at 1,600GHz, 3 monitors, trackIr 5, Buttkicker, Saitek flight yoke and pedals. I also have a Saitek X52 joystick + Throttle that has a bug in that it causes the mouse pointer to move as if being self propelled. I suspect it is responsible for the blue screens of death I get when it is connected.
I want to use the following aircraft add-ons:
PMDG 737-8/900NGX with Fs2crew crew,
PMDG 777-200LRXF basepack,
The following Scenery:
FranceVFR PACA Vol. 1& 2,
ORBX FTX England
The Following airports
Aerosoft Nice Côte D'Azur,
Aerosoft Monaco X,
LFTZ Saint-Tropez La Môle,
Aerosoft Mega Airport LHR
Aerosoft Mega Airport LCY
I want to use the following enhancement packages:
REX Essentials Plus Overdrive,
Accusim realism enhancer
Contrails Pro
I would like to use Flight One Traffic 360
PFPX Flight Planner
Any advice on how to correctly install REX is of great interest.
Any and every advice I receive is greatly appreciated.
All the best,
