Hi folks,
I should have gone straight to the FSX forum, but then I thought dropping by here just to say hello to everyone being a newbie to this great forum.
Bought FSX nearly 3 years ago and never really got into playing it, not having spare time being the main reason, but also my PC wasn't really great then and was very choppy when running the game, so abandoned it after a couple of times playing it.
Now my new PC is more powerful than before. It is i5 3750K@stock speed, GTX 560Ti@stock speed, only 8GB DDR3 RAM, Windows 7 Ultimate. It's not a top notch setup, hope it runs FSX smoothly with frame rate not lower than 60 FPS.
Coming down to this forum looking for some ideas to tweak some of the configuration files for some great graphics quality, I heard one which is fsx.CFG? How to improve the ground texture is also on my wish list. Forgive me but the ground texture out of the box does look rather coarse, don't you? And also, the autopilot seems stranger to me even though I have had other experience with Falcon 4, LOCKON, DCS World, Strike Fighter Project 1, Rise of Flight, Wings of Prey and IL-2 1946. And I also want to know what people programmed into their Saitek X52 (Non-Pro), I am particularly interested to know how you use the slider and the two knobs on the throttle, I heard some people use the knob for trimming, which one you use amongst the two. And also how you use the Pinkie?
These really are all I wanted to know for some time now after getting back into the flight simulation since late July for I am having a 'long vacation'.
Again, great to join you all here and hope to hear some recommendations for the above from you folks.
Thanks in advance.
