There is no sense in placing gray settings in your fsx.cfg. Settings that slightly affect FSX performance are green. Setting that somehow affect FSX performance are orange. Settings that heavily affect FSX performance are red. There will be a link to this article – look for arrow (») character. Some tweaks are (or will be) explained in detail in another article. I placed it in this guide only to explain why. If an option is written behind a comment – it is not included in my fsx.cfg and I do not use this option. My comments (and the meaning of each setting) will be place after comment mark – //. Settings and values will be placed under their sections. The following guide will follow my fsx.cfg file and I put section headers as text headlines (bold font, square brackets). That is why you should not do any changes in FSX display settings after you set this values in fsx.cfg.

Some fsx.cfg settings may have higher values then full right position of a slider in FSX settings. So do not trust a single test unless the difference is obvious and very strong.įSX setting first -> FSX.cfg tweaks later (overwrite problem) You may see improvement even if the long term change is for worse. Even if you have a test flight (same weather, airport, plane, date, time of day, traffic) – you may see different results with no change at all. It is hard to test tweaks in a single flight. If not – try something different.Įven if you have a “perfect” set of tweaks – do a small change from time to time. If you see improvement – use your new settings.

It is a process of trial and error. Use this guide and set your FSX. The same may happen when loading a large number of high quality textures.Ĭurrently I am using several fsx.cfg files for different situations – depending mostly on the autogen and objects of the scenery I use, plane I fly and textures that both plane and scenery use. Too much scenery or autogen objects may cause OOM (out of memory) error. You need to consider VAS (virtual address space). It means that I have constant 30 frames inflight and I have no stutters in this difficult part of flight. My personal preference is to keep the highest quality that will allow at least a stable 18-20 frames on approach to the heaviest scenery that I use at the moment. Others will settle with lower quality and constant 30 fps. Some people will be ok with 20 frames per second and better graphics. There are no settings that are always correct! Remember this. Use settings that are appropriate to your setup (Hardware + FSX + Add-ons). Different add-ons (planes, sceneries, even weather settings) may require different tweaks and different configuration.Īll your tweaks and settings have to be adjusted to your personal preferences. Now you are ready to start tweaking and testing your FSX. Then you may proceed with obligatory HIGHMEMFIX. Then navigate to your fsx.cfg location and make a backup copy. Add UIAutomationCore.dll to your FSX folder. Tweaking – the general idea and procedureĪs I already wrote – make sure that you have SP2 or Acceleration or FSX:SE installed. I omitted elements that should not be edited and some that are not relevant to performance and graphics. Your fsx.cfg may include more lines that I described here. ĭouble slash – // – marks comment – a part of line (or the whole line) that will be ignored by FSX. Section headers are wrapped in square brackets. It is a simple configuration file that uses single line commands containing a name of the setting and value with “=” character in between.
In my opinion it’s best not to use FSX display menu at all. Be aware that changes in FSX settins may overwrite your fsx.cfg tweaks. I will indicate in this guide which values change positions of sliders in FSX settings. There are some outdated tweaks – leftovers from earlier version of FSX (SP1 or base version without any Service Packs) or even earlier version of Flight Simulator. Some may improve your performance or quality.
