It is very simple, and in my case has completely gotten rid of stutters and FPS spikes

Start a flight, any flight...

...ready?

HIT ALT!

That's it! By simply flying with the menu bar open, you will see a huge improvement in FSX.

I'm telling ya, give it a try.

I happen to get worse fps with that menu bar showing. Windowed mode is also awful for me.

Fullscreen is the way to go for me. :salute:

I go full screen with the menu bar open

Works like a dream

I find the menu bar has no effect on fps either for the better or for the worse, I just normally fly in full screen with nothing open unlesss I need it! :salute:

I have an improvement, too.. but it's only 3 more frames per second... nevertheless, good to know about this little tweak. Strange i haven't noticed it yet since I open and close the bar quite often...

thanks

I discovered the other day that windowed mode was what was holding me back. I gain a good 10FPS or more (which is a lot when it's half what you were getting before) if I go to full screen, and it's completely fluid. It must just cut out all the crap that it's trying to process with Windows Explorer and concentrate on running FSX that way.

imo, (humble or not is for you to decide) the easiest tweak your ever gonna find for fsx, or any other sim, is this one:
