Unlike FS2004, in FSX, it's very important to always monitor and manage your VAS (Virtual Address Space) usage if you are going to add a bunch of high end scenery add-ons. There's other fsx.cfg tweaks that can help as well but these are the main ones. (Change this to True if using a wide screen monitor, it greatly improves VC and external visibility) WideViewAspect=True under section (set to False by default) Your results should look something like this:ĪffinityMask=65532 (don't use this number, you need to calculate your own) (just use easy mode and enter how many cores and threads your cpu has or that you want to use for FSX & click calculate button) There's even Affinity Mask calculators for FSX on the web you can use like this one: Learn how to calculate an Affinity Mask, this allows FSX to use all of your CPU cores and threads, by default it just uses one singe core only. Under add HIGHMEMFIX=1 (some say this is not needed in the Steam version of FSX but it can't hurt to add anyway) (You just need to keep tweaking this one until you find what works best for your system) PoolSize=20000000 (higher PoolSize = more GPU usage) (You have to add this section to the file, you can try these settings) Adding high PoolSize will increase the amount of GPU power FSX uses and increase performance. On the web there's lots of guides and info on how to edit this file and what everything in it means. Always make sure to copy the file and make a backup just in case something goes wrong before you make changes. You can just open it in Notepad (do not use Wordpad or Word) or any text editor you like. There's a couple fsx.cfg edits that can help make FSX run better. (must have Folder Options set to show hidden files and folders to find this) This file can be found here: C:\Users\"user name"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX Good luck.ītw I have a few tips for you to get started with FSX since you are new to it. Though with the Steam sale going on I am tempted to get a few things too. One thing you should know is while there are some good Steam DLC's to get for FSX, you are better off buying much of your 3rd party payware from other places like simmarket, simshack, Aerosoft, Just Flight websites, etc. You can also check in the FSX Scenery Library to see if your content is installed, just like in FS 2004. This is how you manage your DLC's for any Steam game. Make sure they are check marked, if they're not, check mark them and Steam will then download and install them. If you go to the FSX page in your Steam Library, scroll down a bit and look on the right side of the screen, you'll see a section just called "DLC's" and you'll see a button called "Manage My DLC's", click on this and you'll see a list of all the Steam DLC's you purchased. Welcome to FSX: Steam Edition, you're really late to the party but it's never too late to start nowīuying and installing DLC's on Steam for FSX is just like any other Steam game, Once you purchase them, they usually install automatically.
