FSX IT and FPS noobs problems.

[cavalierjan19]

how to start it? I installed Sun Sky Jet KPHL, and I had something like 6, 8 or even 5 FPS! My FSX aims for 20fps. I don't know how to fix it? Clever brains say, that you have to go to the computer file, the to users where you 'd find application data, wherew you can find FSX folder containing fsx.cfg file. I couldn't fnd one. I searched through the computer, but it wasn't anywhere. Anyone here that can help??? The tweaking of the .cfg file itself doesn't seem to be that challenging.

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 HighMemFix is virtually mandatory.

For other changes: Make ONE tweak at a time and thoroughly test...Don

 

FSX file locations:

fsx.cfg, dll.xml, and GrantedRewards.BIN, {C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX}

Your control settings = Standard.xml {C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\Controls}

Logbook.BIN and Flight Plan files {C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files}

scenery.cfg {C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX}

Not that I am annoying, but after completing the setting up in the control panel I could find Roaming in AppData. Inside, there was Microsoft, but no FSX. Sorry for my IT idiotisim. As a flightsimmer, I am still not clever enoughto change things. Once I changed the sound of Alphasim C-5 galaxy in the sound.cfg file, that is all.

It is in:

 

C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

 

provided you have set Show hidden file, folders, and drives

Just in case,

fsx.cfg is in: C:\\Users\"YourUserName"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

 

Inside the:

\Microsoft

folder

 

should be the:

\FSX

-folder
