Hello guys, I watched a lot of videos, tried different tweaks and I still get low fps :( I would really appreciate a detailed step-by-step guide on how to set my fsx graphics, modify .cfg file and set the catalyst control center for best fsx performance on my computer ... Here are my specs: AMD RadeonHD7550M 1GBIntel Core i5Processor 2.6 GHz Hard Drive Capacity: 640 GB 6 GB RAM Windows 7 64-bit Installed addons: PMDG737, FTX global, FlyTampa Dubai + planning to install

Thank you

FTX global

Thanks guys

Should I remove any previous sceneries before installing FTX Orbx?

thanks guys

I need a detailed step-by-step guide on how to set my fsx graphics, modify .cfg file and set the catalyst control center for best fsx performance on my computer.

Thanks for reply and sorry for wrong place, and how about FS Global Real Weather?

Do I need to adjust the cloud draw distance in FSX settings if I have an external weather program?
