That is because I have added so many different lines to tweak my cfg over the past year that I have lost count of the ones which are important. It generally should look something like this:Īlready you will notice that the first few lines on my screenshot of the cfg will look different than the ones in your cfg.įor simplicity I have decided to simply copy the entire content of my cfg into this guide so you can copy it into your cfg. Each line under these headlines then represents a specific setting in FSX. The content of the fsx.cfg is divided into different sections like or. I have simply added the FSX folder where the fsx.cfg is located to the Quick Access bar on the left by right-clicking the folder and hitting "Pin to Quick Access". You can decide for yourself which variant you find easier. From there it is onto /Microsoft/FSX/fsx.cfg This will take to you to the Appdata folder in your Explorer In this prompt type %appdata% and hit Enter enter on your keyboard.

Hit Windows key + R on your keyboard which will open a little prompt called "Run" in the bottom left corner of your screen (If the file is called fsx_se.cfg for you that's totally fine) For me the path to the fsx.cfg is then as follows:Ĭ:/Users/*username*/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/FSX/fsx.cfg (This enables you to see otherwise hidden folders in the explorer) Open Explorer and first of all make sure that at the top under "View" and to the right under Show/hide the item "Hidden items" is checked. To all the newcomers: There are two ways of locating your fsx.cfg. It is thus vital that this file is properly tweaked to make for a stable FSX.

The fsx.cfg is the file where all your FSX settings are saved everytime you close FSX. So the FSX (configuration) I'm presenting to you is my result of trying to make it as stable as possible. My goal since the beginning of 2021 was to be able to fly 16 hour long-hauls on Vatsim with the PMDG 777 without FSX crashing and now I can say that (for the most part) it works for me and FSX doesn't crash. It's one of the most awesome things that ever happened to me.

If you want to feel like a real pilot just by sitting in front of your pc you must join one or both of these networks.

I myself also worked my way up to have the skills to fly on both of them. This guide should appeal especially to those of you who intend to use FSX to fly on awesome networks such as Vatsim or IVAO. I created this guide because I felt like sharing the results of my countless hours messing around with the FSX Settings, the fsx.cfg, understanding and carefully watching VAS (Virtual Addressing Space) and trying to fly long-haul flights that left me sad when FSX crashed for no apparent reason after 16 hours of smooth cruise flight. I have tried MSFS but on the lowest settings I get only 30FPS and most times even less so naturally I'm sticking with good ol' FSX to satisfy my flight simming addiction.

That's also the reason why I have not invested in newer sims such as P3D and X-Plane 11. But FSX also runs on a toaster so it doesn't really matter too much. So as you can see my setup is very minimalistic and very low-spec. Specs: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 2GB GDDR5 Intel Core i5-8250U CPU 1.60GHz 16GB RAM 256GB SSD 1TB HDD I'm currently playing FSX and other games on my (gaming) laptop, an Asus X570UD. Writing this sentence after having completed this guide, I'm sorry that it is so lengthy, but still I would highly encourage you to read carefully through all of the sections because every addon, setting or tweak listed, has a major impact on the enjoyment you will have with FSX.įirst of all I want to point out that depending on your PC specs the results you might have with the following settings, tweaks etc. I really hope that this guide will positively influence your FSX experience and I'm trying my best to put all of my thoughts into proper words.
