Hi,

I just built my computer and everything is installed and running "ay-okay" but I am strunngling to find Nick N's tweaks that I think wee post on AVSIM's ( I could be wrong)

It would be appreciated if you guys could give me the URl
Thanks
 
This guide is more updated and I prefer it:

http://kostasfsworld.wordpress.com/fsx-software-and-hardware-guide/

Honestly, before you try any guide, all I would do is add the highmemfix=1 under the GRAPHICS section of your cfg and adjust video settings to how you want in inspector (or AMD catalyst). Nick N still has decent recommended settings for inspector (nvidia).


Thanks, i changed TEXTURE_BANDWITH to 4096 and its laggy, ill will change that back to defualt as i dont see much imporvement
 
Each PC is different and not everything works for everyone. After having tried all of them I personally always come back to Nick's guide. I like that he has a global approach to the whole of your system being setup sensibly without useless cr@p and then focus on FSX tweaking. The best one is what works best for your system.

Btw even if it is old, the starting point for Nick's guide is here:
http://www.simforums.com/forums/setting-up-fsx-and-how-to-tune-it_topic29041.html

He is working on an updated guide probably for more current systems. Mine is old so the above suits me.
