I added affinity mask 14 to my .cfg, and now it starts jumping, almost like a REALLY low fps, but my frames are still in the mid thirties. I have i7 3770K @3.5ghz and a gtx 670 if that helps, any ideas on how to rectify?

First off, please don't tell me I need to use another Flight Sim or anything else, just read the WHOLE question :-) Thanks! I am designing a custom-built PC for FSX and currently have the following: ASUSTeK ASUS COMPUTER P8P67 Pro MotherBoard GeForce GT520 (FSX relies mostly on CPU) 466GB Seagate ST350041 8AS SCSI Disk Device (ATA) HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH60N SCSI CdRom Device Realtek High Definition Audio 4.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 535MHz (7-7-7-20) Windows 8 PRO Diablotek DA Series PSDA600 600W ATX12V v2.2 Power Supply Intel i5 2500K Computer Case Does Win7 Home Premium or Ultimate work better for FSX than Windows 8? I used to play FSX on my old PC and it worked fine on Win7 but DOES NOT work on Win8 ?! I will try to overclock to 4.8gHz, but what .CFG tweaks do I need to get the best out of my PC? I only use this PC for FSX as a training tool; I need it to be realistic as possible with an outstanding framerate. I am using it as a training tool for my Private Pilot's license when outside of flying the Cessna 150 and to train for my Private Pilot's license, when I leave next year to a study-abroad program to Germany for a year, my junior year in high-school. Please help and best of luck to all the pilots looking at this forum; I posted it in aviation, since I know many pilots who play on FSX. (:

Is there a way to get autogen to start appearing from further away? Specifically, I feel that trees should be rendered from further away. buildings are okay to have at the max the in-game settings allow, but trees are almost part of what we would want to see as part of the far-away textures, but auto-gen won't render them further away. I see in the Prepar3d.cfg file in the user folder it has: AUTOGEN_TREE_MAX_DRAW_DISTANCE This defaults to 9500 (is it feet?) and allows you to go as high as 12000 before forcing it back down to 12000. This does seem to make the trees appear sooner than buildings, but not by much. AUTOGEN_TREE_MIN_DISTANCE_TO_LOD=2500.000000 (default) What does this do, exactly? Is there any sort of comprehensive list of what every setting in the .cfg files does, especially this .cfg file? Thank you in advance,
