    I think you'd find that any of them would struggle to render video unless you have a lot of spare time to leave it running. Running FSX with those particular add-ons really needs a decent desktop or a dedicated gaming laptop unless you have all of the setup sliders fully to the left and even then...

    Can't help but to agree with Ed. You'll probably spend most of your time trying to tweak things to get barely acceptable performance (and wishing that you'd gone for something better). If the screen resolution is 1920x1080 or less, you'd probably get most modern games to run at lower settings but FSX needs CPU (and to a lesser extent, GPU) grunt to run well.

    Have you looked at the possibility of having your old system repaired?

    The problem with the old system is that received the overload blew up so repairing it would mean to buy it again and the price is practically the same as  the VivoBook I mentioned

    Hello everyone

    Last Tuesday a power overload blew out my computer loosing everything I had there. 

    Since I am beginning the University next year I am thinking on moving to a laptop which can render video, run Photoshop, some games, web browsing, and run FSX with PMDG's 737, 747, and 777, Aerosoft's Airbus, REX, and some add on scenery (FlyTampa Saint Marteen, LatinVFR Guatemala, Costa Rica, Tegucigalpa) 

    So I have 4 options:

    Asus VivoBook S15:

    Core i5 7200u 

    GT 940MX

    8GB DDR4 RAM

    1TB HDD

    DELL Inspiron 15 5565:

    AMD A12-9700P

    Integrated Radeon R7 graphics

    8GB DDR4 RAM

    1TB HDD

    ASUS X556UA:

    Core i5 7200U

    Intel HD620 graphics

    8GB DDR4 RAM

    1TB HDD

    8GB DDR4 RAM

    HP Pavilion 14-al001la

    Core i5 6200U

    Intel HD 520 graphics

    8GB DDR4 RAM

    1TB HDD

    8GB DDR4 RAM

    So which do you think will be a good decision?

    OK, then in that case, follow the advice from Ilya. A couple of things to remember about tweaks, is to have  a baseline to test them. 1) Create a baseline for all tests. In other words, set a specific airport, conditions and then save the flight as eg, Tweak test and use that same scenario throughout testing, and don't deviate. 2) Make one single tweak at a time and test and test again until you're happy it doesn't cause any problems and to see if there are any benefits. DO NOT introduce more than a single tweak at a time, otherwise you won't know what works and what doesn't.

     

    The main tweak that you should consider exhaustive testing with, is the bufferpools tweak. The holy grail of tweaks if it works, and the damnation of tweaks if it doesn't! But you should really read up on this one and ensure you understand what it does. Remember, everyone's sim is different and as such each tweak will have a different effect on different rigs. 

     

    Something else to consider big time, is to ensure all your FSX settings in the control panel are correctly set before perfomring any tweaks, mainly because ticking or unticking a radio button, or reducing a slider can often have a better improvement than a tweak.

     

    Ensure you are running at 30fps and not unlimited.

     

    There are tweaks to add to your cfg which will help, but firstly, it's important that you set the correct slider settings. Go to your FSX slider settings and follow these settings.

     

    GRAPHICS

    Untick lens flare

    Untick light bloom

    Lock target frame rate at 30

    Make sure you're running at the correct resolution

    Filtering, try lowering as much as possible to when satisfied. the lower the better performance but at cost to quality visuals.

     

    AIRCRAFT

    Untick aircraft casts shadow on the ground

    Untick aircraft casts shadow on itself

    Untick show cockpit tooltips

     

    SCENERY

    TERRAIN & WATER

     

    Level of detail medium

    Mesh complexity 80%

    Mesh resolution 10m

    Texture resolution 1m

    Water set at Low 2x

     

    SCENERY OBJECTS

    Scenery complexity dense

    Autogen density normal

    Ground scenery shadows ticked

    Special effects detail normal

     

    WEATHER

    Cloud draw distance minimum

    Thermals none

    Simple couds

    Cloud coverage low

    Weather changes low

     

    TRAFFIC

    Airline traffic density 30 (reduce to 0 when flying from small GA fields)

    General aviation density 30 (reduce to 0 when flying from large commercial airports)

    Airport vehicles 0

    Road vehicles 10

    Ships and ferries 10

    Leisure boats 10

    Thank you! After some tweaking sessions I am getting stable 30 fps even in heavy weathe and rain

    A good trick for PMDG aircraft fis to lower the vc model quality and resolution.

     

    To get the best from you graphics card, download NVIDIA Inspector and Google the settings for that card

     

    Know your PC, FSX is CPU based so to get great performance it is good to overclock or to use an i7.

     

    Also, on the right side there is an FSX/P3D config guide, maybe that helps.

     

    I used that guide and some tips from: http://www.avsim.com/topic/497682-fsx-tweaks-help/#entry3509602

     

    And now I get good frames

     

    Good luck!

    Hey everybody!

     

    I just want to know if anyone can help me to tweak my FSX (Boxed edition) to get high frames and great graphics. I have a non edited cfg and no slider moved in the sim.

     

    My PC specs:

     

    i3 3250 (3.5 GHz)

    10GB DDR3 1600

    PNY GTX 750ti

    AsRock H61M-VG3

     

    My add-ons

     

    REX 2.0 (No Overdrive)

    PMDG 737 NGX

    PMDG 777 with the 300 expansion

    Airbus X (318, 319, 320 and 321)

    FlyTampa Saint Maarten

    LatinVFR Guatemala city

    LatinVFR MROC
