StringBean Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Here is another one for you. Do this with FSX not running. Open the Control Panel (right click on the little Start button) and open Folder Options. On the View tab add a check to "Show hidden files, folders and drives". Remove the check from "Hide extensions for known file types". Now open File Explorer (used to be called Windows Explorer) and go to C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX There you will find a file named FSX.cfg. Open it (not FSX.cfg.txt) with Notepad and find the [Graphics] section. Add the following line to that section... HighMemFix=1 Close the file, saving changes and test. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do? Farewell, my freind (sp) Never argue with idiots.

pvarn Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 So it happens randomly... GSX at the moment is taking a big hit, only getting heads of people, vehicles missing tyres. etc etc. FSX is quite slow when chosing plane - time - weather - flight planner etc. FSX is fine in missions - and default aircraft are no problem. add on aircraft seem to struggle. As far as I know my desktop only has the 1 graphics card. im thinking about wiping the full desktop and reinstalling everything in order. If GSX is giving your problems, you should be visiting their support site and reading the manual: http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum http://www.cityviewed.co.uk/images/uploads/directory/fsuip/GSX_manual_1.pdf "2-D panel transparency: 10%" Transparency increases CPU load because more visible scenery has to be rendered. This will not increase your frame rate. Better to have no transparency. -Pv- 2 carrot salad, 10.41 liter bucket, electric doorbell, 17 inch fan, 12X14, 85 Dbm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxsttcb Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 should I really be having to turn things off and adjust things with such a powerful unit though. Yep! My rig is 20-25% faster than yours, yet I still have to "turn things off" and "adjust things" too. Mostly "Ultra High" settings can bring many a rig to it's knees...

pvarn Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 .."should I really be having to turn things off and adjust things with such a powerful unit though..." Yes. FSX is old and not designed for current computers and OSes. We are essentially making FSX Boxed versions work when it should not and is unsupported. Consider yourself lucky you can even run it. Your options for speeding things up are limited and you just have to ACCEPT IT. Maybe in the next OS, it won't even run or crash 50% of the time.
