Installed it and like it. A couple new options. Also....a bit more tweeking is available too. I have found using this for my antialiasing has improved my FPS even before the new version.
Sweet FX Configurator
Can or will the Sweet FX Configurator verify which version of the basic SWEETFX is installed?
I installed the newer SWEETFX over the older one and it looks like BOTH version are visable in the directory. The older one is above the Configurator while the newer one in below the
Configurator. I tried to remove the older one and install the newer one within the configurator directory. Now I wonder how or if you can verify what version of the Sweet FX is running
when you use or have the configurator open?

So you've kicked your AA settings out of NvidiaInspector and let SweetFX handle AA? Interesting.

Thank you! But i really like to try out the settings of other people. Would you like to share yours?

In my case I don't use SweetFX AA sharpness. I use RadeonPro for my ATI card AA setting. Similar to Nvidia Inspector for Nvidia cards. I only use the shaders in SweetFX.
Without SweetFX shaders...

I have tried both ways and honestly......I have much better frame rates with sharp objects using SweetFx for my antialiasing. I have a mid level Readon card and a mid level PC so we may be on different roads but I truly believe everyone should experiment to their likings.

UPDATE : Since Terrasque haven't updated the configurator in a while, I updated his version 1.3.3 with the files from SweetFX 1.5.1
Mr Ted, I appreciated this, I really do. If only I had seen this before I had d/l just the 1.5.1 files, my fsx perhaps would not of CTD.
I had the older version of this installed with the GUI and it all worked pretty well. Now I wonder if this thing was really meant just for ATI boards only as I have Nvidia. In trying to configure
the newer base 1.5.1 it somehow caused some bad ju-jus ergo a FSX CTD which resuleted in *.* everything in my FSX folder. I have FSX back and will have to rebuild (read add) all addons
previously installed. Some already are back and ask for a repair or reinstal - so thats good.
As an aside * I have no other means to convey this message to you as you have elected to remove your PM options both here and at FLIGHTSIM, and you also ignore my emails.
I know the MODS are reading this and I hope they will cut me some slack here due to the restrictive/limited means of communications that I have here.
I would like to publicly apologize for the last PM I sent you and wish to make amends here and start over. You have been most helpful to me in the past and I deeply appreciate
all the knowledge I have gained from you related with FSX material. I know all this goes public but again I send you emails and I know you either delete or ignore them.
I am not "hell-bent" on giving anyone trouble as one mod here iterated previously. So again - I am deeply sorry for anything I said in the past that disturbed you.
If you want, pls email me as I am interested in your response. Thanks and have a blessed day. :salute:

I have no idea what any of the setting in this thing do but gave it a try with the default settings anyway and my framerates went from a steady 30 fps without it to 9 fps with it 
Guess I wont be using it for the time being unless someone can advise on how best to set it up in terms a 5 year old can understand

Gave this a try but seems to have no effect at all.
I followed the install instructions (put all the files into the FSX base folder) and I'm pretty sure it is running as it produces a log file and pressing PAUSE causes FSX to stutter a bit as sweetfx tries to reload the shaders.
However, changing some of the settings in the settings file makes no difference (I would have loved to see FSX in cartoon mode).
Maybe I need to update directx? Or maybe I need to turn off AA in FSX?
EDIT: After giving this another go, yes, you need to turn AA off in FSX for this to work.

Dangerous....put this in your main FSX folder and let me know how it works for you. Trust me when I say...my system is very modest....and I know there are many better ones out there so these settings should be helpful. they have really made my sim a bit nicer if I do say so myself. Oh....make sure you have anti aliasing turned off in sim.

I gave it a try thanks but no difference unfortunately.
I made sure that no AA was already enabled by disabling my Nvidea Inspector profile first but my framerates just go through the floor with this thing.
I removed it an re enabled Nvidea Inspector and I'm back to a buttery smooth 30 FPS.
I guess my system just doesn't like it. Oh well no big loss, my FSX runs and looks great without it so I'm not too fussed.
Thanks for trying.

Ok....just to be clear....when I say make sure your anti-aliasing is turned off....I mean in sim itself under options/settings/display on the same page you set your frame rates. I don't use Nvidea inspector but I run my Radeon anti-aliasing mode topped out.
