Hey everyone,
I am a frequent fsx flyer but very new to this forum. I have flown hours and hours on windows 7 and vista and now the time has come for me to install fsx on windows 8.1 :mellow: :blush: I know lots will say that 8.1 has problems regarding fsx, but I have no real choice as except for fsx, 8.1 does everything better for me.
I have the fsx gold pack, GEX europe, REX + OD 2 and PMDG 737, 747 and Carenado B1900D aircrafts to install.
Right now, I have done the following.
1) Run standard fsx disk 1 and 2 (deluxe) setup. (installed on secondary HDD)
2) Flown a free flight for 10 mins
3) Installed SP1
4) Flown a free flight for 10 mins
5) Installed acceleration pack.
I have only found this video for 8.1 and I have followed it.
I was really looking if anyone knows of a guide ( or could quickly summarise for me ) the cfg tweaks and tweaks in fsx that I should do to get the best out of fsx in windows 8.1 for my hardware. I have capable hardware to run max settings (I think) ; I have an AMD FX-6300 @ 3.5 GHz, XFX 7970 DD OC and 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM.
I would also appreciate if anyone has any tips to give for installing the add ons that I listed above.
I apologise, if I am posting in the wrong place or if this topic has come up several times before, as I said, I am very new to this forum, but not fsx.
Thanks for all the help, in advance!
