Recently finished building my first computer; I figured since everyone was so helpful building it, it would be even better getting help tweaking it!

Quick Background:
i5 2500k
GTX 560ti
P67 (MSI)

I configured inspector and FSX looks great. A few moving lines here and there, but for the most part stunning.

With everything on high in an add-on I get about 20fps. Pretty smooth. However, I'm looking for that dream 35fps. What are suggestions for tweaks, is it already time for overclocking?

Thanks!

Try this out Ruben: http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html it does a great job tweaking your FSX cfg. It gave me atleast 10 more frames.

I used it too. For some reason, it slowed down FSX start up a bit for me, but everything else is like a dream. Even the dreaded FPS hit of the iFly wasn't too bad.

Yes this does work,
Question that never got answered in a diff. thread.
Where did you guys place the FR limiter? I have it on the desktop and it doesn't seem to be limiting the FR in FSX to 30? (FSX is running unlimited FR)
no complaints, just didn't specify what to do with the limiter file in the directions?
Otherwise it runs cherri

I ended up using that site, but it took away all of my airports. I only had options for airports in Afghanistan?

Now I have fatal errors occurring and it won't open.

Every time I open the sim it creates a new .CFG file (text format). I think this is what is causing FSX to close. Any suggestions?

Just put your backup CFG back.

I did, it was doing a weird thing where it wasn't recognizing it. All good now.

However, why are only Afghanistan's airports showing up. This tweaks look so helpful but it's doing that weird thing.
