Hi all,my name is Alessandro,and I'm an italian helicopter ground engineer & hoist operator. My main hobby is..guess what..Flight Simulator,I started use this software since the "3" version,about 20 years ago. Nowaday I joined since 2 years the Sim Skunk Works as texture & sound developer,dressing & giving voices to both F-104 S & Harrier.My other hobby is photography,I am a proud member of "spotters" community here in Italy,and I'm a little advantaged because I live less than 1 mile from LIRS Grosseto Italy Air Force Base....My Canon 7D loves the sightseeing from my balcony... Happy landings, /Ale Attached files: Panavia Tornado IDS, LIMS Piacenza S.Damiano Airbase (Italy) (one of my last "real" pictures); Tiger Meet 1988 repaint for FSX Sim Skunk Works F-104 S .

First of all,you should post your system specs. Then we can start with optimizing,sure try the "Bojote" way for the fsx.cfg,in almost all cases is a good bless for performance.

...Raise the volume....Final tuning of sound set for the F-104 G by Sim Skunk Works....that will be soon in the virtual skies,after the F-104 S and the AV8B II +....(don't care about the movie quality,I'm not very familiar with movie creation......)http://s239.photobucket.com/albums/ff98/bluesky7777/?action=view&current=104_G_TEST_SOUND_BETA_1.mp4
