I bought FSX preinstalled on a new customised PC. Previously, I'd built my own FS9 PCs.
Unfortunately, the builder (who should have known better) installed FSX in Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X.
Even when I run everything as administrator and have UAC disabled I get the feeling that the program doesn't run as well as it should.
For example, the graphics are disappointing, even with Kosta's tweaks. This is most noticeable with REX and other weather programs but addon planes and sceneries show lots of jaggies. I also have difficulties running some addons via Simconnect from a client PC. By and large I get good frame rates. I get far better graphics in FS9 using a 4 year old Q9650 homebuilt PC with a less powerful graphics card - REX is beautiful, runway textures very true to life, and hardly any jaggies!
I've been told that FSX does not run well when installed in Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Can anyone confirm this? Should I go to all the trouble of uninstalling and re-installing?
Thanks!
