CFS3 setup guide

Hello again!

When I just bought CFS3 years ago, there was a very helpfull setup guide for CFS3. I was wondering if there is one for current rigs. If any one could point me to one, I would be very much obliged!

The whole goal is to maximise performance and visuals. Me and a couple of friends have experienced stutters when firing at adversaries for example. This shouldn't happen on my rig, as it is quite reasonable. My specs are:

i7 2700K @ 5.2 Ghz with a Scythen Mugen cooler
8 Gb of 1600 Mhz ram
OCZ vertex 3 SSD for programs
1 Tb WD Caviar black HDD for data
2 x GTX560ti's in SLI (wonder if that is useful at all for CFS3...)
Antec 100 case with ample (air) cooling

There I was thinking that a game as old as CFS3 should run flawlessly with this set up, but I forgot about the Mickey$oft factor, I guess! :icon_lol:

Many thanks in advance!

PS: FSX runs at a steady 30 FPS with hardly any stutters on my rig after hours of tweaking, so I'm hoping I could do the same with CFS3, as I absolutely LOVE the ETO expansion!
 
Thanks!

A good soul who's name shall go unnamed because he answered through pm, has provided the install and tweak guide.

You know who you are and I thank you for your kindness!
