Thanks John

Hi all It's been a while since I fired up my FS9 and old age has caught up with me, in so much as I can't remember which keyboard command activates reverse thrust on landing. Can anyone please help me out?

Has your system automatically 'updated' the GPU drivers?

I'm not saying you are Chris but a lot of flight simmers are so anal about framerate. I used to be like that, panicking if the fps rate fell below 35, then I had an epithany. Forget all about framerate and don't ever look at it during flight. If the display looks good and it's not juddering, leave well alone and enjoy the view. Don't fret if it drops 1fps, it won't matter a jot. believe me, I've been there and done it and got the tshirt. My current system is locked at 30fps and, as far as I know, doesn't dip to the point where it judders here, there and everywhere.

Sorted by someone from another site.

I've got a fairly decent PC and my distant scenery appears as a straight line of nothing until you get close to the edge of it then it refreshes but still forms in blocks. This never happened with my crummy old PC. I've tried all kinds of things, it's doing my nut in. Anyone got any genius suggestions? By the way I've read most of the tips pages both here and on other websites, I must be doing something obviously wrong

Having bought a new PC, I got round to installing fs9 and all my many add-ons onto it. Just when I got everything running really smoothly, something terminal happened which meant I had to do a complete re-install of Windows. So, on the advice of my PC guy, I purchased a 128Mb SSD and just installed Windows and all the start up programmes on it. Everything else, is going onto the 1Tb hardrive. Early indications are looking good. The PC get's from swith on to home screen in about half the time and FS9 seems to be running a lot quicker to. Just a suggestion should anyone be interested.

Just in case anyone is interested, I ended up getting a Samsung 27" screen. It has all the usual things you'd expect to find plus a Games mode which doesn't really help me with flight Sim but will help me with some of my PS4 games.

Haven't got round to installing fsx yet, (it's still in the box with the acceletaion disc) but I am still getting all my fs9 add ons installed. In fs9, with all sliders right to the max, I'm getting 39fps (with it locked at 40) so I'm a very happy bunny.

Pie and Knock, great contributors both. Have a great weekend.

Specs are: AMD FX-6 @ 4.1GHz GTX960 2048MB GDDR5 16GBB DDR3 1600 MHz Memory The one I am looking at is a backlit 1920 x 1080. Thanks for the advice, most helpful.

I am currently flying FS9 on an Acer 20" LCD monitor and I was thinking about upsizing to a 27" monitor. Is there anything I should be aware of before spending my cash? If any of you have any personal recommendations on make and model that would be great too. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks Appliance. Regarding my second question, I know where to find there but they are listed somewhere in the Programme files x86, I just can't find them there.

2 things if I may. Firstly, when at 31000 ft, the scenery in front of me in the distance is a blur and only focuses when I get nearer to it. Is thee some adjustment I can make, config maybe? Secondly, where in the programme files can I find the scenery lists? Default Terrain, Default scenery, Propellor Objects et etc. I have been away from FS9 for a few years and am a bit ring rusty. Thanks guys.

My humble apologies -_-

I was in a similar position but with a Windows 7 installation on a new rig. Here is the advice I was given In Win7/64 FS9 config file(cfg) is found at- Users/your name/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/FS9 Suggest you make a back-up copy before altering the .cfg file. B) Don't forget to show hidden files, if you don't, you won't be able to see the AppData folder. Hope this helps.

Thanks to all who have offered help. I was fine in the XP era but Windows 7 is a different ball game. Have a great weekend all

Excuse my ignorance but how do I do that? Excuse my ignorance but how do I do that?

Thanks Appliance. Just ride this and I don't have an AppData file in Users/Tony/ Any clues? Thanks

Still can't find the config file. There are two showing, one is cascading style sheet document which I can open but it isn't the one I need to adjust. The other is a Jscript script. File which I can't open. Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the advice.

Sorry if this is in the wrong area. I have been an avid FS9'er for many years and my old rig passed away a few months ago. it wasn't the most powerful rig in the world but I had added many add one and tweaked things here and there and it ran to an acceptable level. So, I have bought a new rig, specs below AMD Piledriver FX-6 Black edition 6 core at 3.90GHz CPU NVidia GeForce GTX960 2048MB GDDR5 GPU 16GB DDR3 1600MHz memory Now the questions:- I've loaded Fs9 and made the changes to the display settings. I've then gone to the NVdia control panel to do some tweaking there too. I can't seem to get rid of jaggies in the scenery. Anyone got any suggestions for the settings I should try in the NVidia control panel? In my old set up I remember adjusting some of the config settings. That was in XP and I've now got Windows 7 64bit. Can someone tell me a) where I can find the config files and b) any suggestions as to the changes I should be making? Any advice welcome.

I plan to be. I've been an avid FS9 user for over 8 years. I have got a large cardboard box of add ons, which I've added to it over the years and the old rig was beginning to creak at the seams. I'm hoping the new rig will handle FSX a lot better with add ons, some of my old one s which were dual FS9/FSX and some I'll have to buy new. I'm also interested in train sims as well.

.....and have just bought myself a new rig. Spec is AMD Piledriver FX-6 6 core 6350 Black Edition 3.9GHz KFA GeForce GTX960 2049MB GDDR5 Team Black 8GB (2 x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM SATA 6GB/s 64MB cache 550W Super Flower PSU Not top of the range by any means but it knocks my old system into a cocked hat.

Fantastic screenies, thanks for showing them to us!
