    Getting ready to try FSX again and need alil advise

    Well after FSX first came out I didnt like it. or better off it did not like my machine. I have since updated to 4 Gigs of ram and a new Motherboard which supports my 3 gig Dual (not Duo) Cope processor. I have a EVGA 9800 GT PCIe vid card w 512 on board. Yeah its not the best of the best but it works. I was wondering what is really essential and needed for FSX and should I install FSX Acceleration as wll. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    First off you never said what your processor was........Or maybe you did...You have a 3.0 processor? A dual?

    You tell us that we can give you better realistic expecations..

    You need to install Acceleration or both the FSX Service Packs ....

    At 3.0 with both Service Packs installed and a 9800 GT (512) you shoild expect not to shabby performance from FSX..There are tweaks you can use to lighten the processor load.It can take a few days to really dial it in, but we can help with that process...

    Have a look around these top three threads here..They all pertain to tweaking , add-ons, and the such...

    If you need some help..We are here...


    BTW..Can you be more specific on your CPU???



    FSX loves about 3.2 to 3.6 Ghz....
