I think a couple of things. Put anisotropic to 16, this is important. And I believe also mipmaps in hardware in the sim further up.

Obviously backup FS9,cfg first...

You're welcome - I think it came from Holger Sandman originally.

Hmmm, I looked for a config section within the FS9 Config folder and saw nothing like this listed. Can you guys please tell me where this lil' tweak should go?

May I point out that when I tried to tweak my FS9.cfg, I saw no change at all. Sometime later I learnt that the FS9.cfg I needed to tweak was NOT the one in the main FS9 folder, but the one situated (on my PC anyway) at: C/documents & settings/owner/application data/microsoft/FS9.

When I tweaked that one, WOW, a world of difference. Not at all sure what the point of the FS9.cfg in the main FS9 folder is for, I deleted it and the sim still worked fine, I did put it back though, just in case

[Wing_Z]

There should be only one FS9.cfg which normally lives here, for Windows XP:
"C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9\fs9.CFG"
Every now and again some crazy install makes a new one in the main FS folder.
This ruins the performance, generally.
One more reason I NEVER run executables directly into my FS folder.
