FSX Settings Tutorial Part 1 of 3

[Milkpipe]

..but sounds pretty sensible. Thumbs up Frosty.

[Milkpipe]

this sounded credible until the narrator said 'hi, I'm cold and frosty morning'.

[TheG352004]

Hello I want to ask you I got I7 2600K and Asus Board and Asus GTX 580 1.5GB I run my FSX I got frp between 105 and 120 I put unlimited is that mean good point ? because games is running very well no problem?

[The881Jeremy]

Is this an opening of how to set it up?

[coldandfrostymorning]

@The881Jeremy I made 3 parts. Its an indepth tutorial which takes the time to explain everything in detail not just tell you what to do. That way you can tweak the settings which best suits your PC. :)

[abdulrahimify]

I have a Problem with fsx when i start flying. The gauges of the aircraft start going left or right without me doing it. I re installed the game but it didn't work it did the same thing over again. On top of that! when i push the throttle livers the throttle are on 99 percent instead of 100 percent. Is there any way to resolve this problem? because if there is a way to fix the problem please respond as soon as possible. My email is: Abdulrahim1992@live.com

[ww2233A]

no wonder you've got 30+ frames. 1280x1024x16 is totally different from 1920x1080x32.

[coldandfrostymorning]

@jordan4541 hey, if you watch my 3 vids on FSX settings you'll see exactly how :p

[UbiTrans]

Hi, thanx for the fantastic video! I have got World of AI Traffic addon installed, but I don't know how to scroll down on the FSX inflight screen. I click the right button on mouse then select Air Traffic and it gives me the list, but sometimes the list is so long it displays till the bottom of the screen and I can't scroll down to view the others. How do I scroll down? I would appreciate it if somebody can help me. Thanx

[thefifth04]

Hey Mate,

My FSX is having a bit of trouble at the moment, everytime i use and at the middle of the game, it will crash and a window will apear with a message saying " Microsoft Flight Simulator Encountered a Fatal Error? " its the first time I've had this and i have reinstalled it and everything but its still the same. what do u think is wrong with it?

[happyhalfjappy]

Thanks for your info, I tried your settings on my computer (intel duo core 2.6, ATI 4550 vid card, 2 gigs ram) and it worked flawlessly as a base setting.

[devanoo2]

ok so my computer it gets really glichy when i take off and land like REALLY REALLY glichy how would i fix that lower the fps to 20? i put the traffic all the way to 0 and it still does it and i think i have the same computer as this guy any tips? i havnt tried this yet because i dont have time right now but do you think it would fix that problem?

[coldandfrostymorning]

@Baker1320 Hi maybe check if you have the updated driver for your card?

[nubishnewbie]

This is better thanother tuts. He's talking so I can understand.. But non-english speakers can see :))

[nubishnewbie]

Let me guess, you are British?

[XxL33ZOxX]

ive got :

Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67GHz

6GB DDR3

nVidia GTX 285

500GB Hard Drive

Windows 7 Home Premuim 64bit



I JUST GO MAX SETTTING AND ITS GOOD - MIN OF 20FPS

[PilotGery1]

thanks man.... now iam trying to get the best FPS without decreasing the quality

[reedy111111111111111]

u sound like alex reid

[reedy111111111111111]

is vista better to run this then xp

[coldandfrostymorning]

@reedy111111111111111 I had huge amounts of problems with Vista so I rolled back to XP. However I am now using windows7 and it runs even better for me.

[coldandfrostymorning]

@coldandfrostymorning I use w7 now and it runs even better now! thx for watching.

[iryan74656]

I want to get my plane very smooth ride with weather update but fsx weather update it self it not that smooth on my add on plane any idea or use FSUIPC ?

[Koumrian]

I have everything... 4 cores and 8GB of RAM, but a 3200 grphics card! I just need a new graphics card.

[jord8609]

cold and frosty..although 80 or 90 fps is impressive, ive found i only need to have around 22-28 for it to be smooth and fluid, good job really too seein as i dont have a nasa computer to power it with.

you could probably get away with doing the same, which means you can use the rest of the processing power you would of used on the additional fps on more max configuration?

[coldandfrostymorning]

@jord8609 I agree 20fps is all you really need for FSX :)

[coldandfrostymorning]

@jord8609 hey sorry for the late reply. Yes thats true. But once you have some nice addons like PMDG, Leved-D or UK2000 airports or something then your frames will be hit. Also like having a Traffic package like TrafficX will hit your frames. So with these settings I get a decent FPS even with the addons. It is true though, 20fps+ should be fine and considered good with FSX. Thx for watching.

[TheRockstars11]

excellent dude only try to make it a little storter

[jord8609]

doesnt need to be shorter, he does a top notch job of explainin all the things in the tabs

[andrejerome12]

man you rock thanks to you i get 190 fpsand its fast it dont stick and thanks for the resolucion setting i get the best graphics thnks they should give you a nobel prize

[dragonugt]

Fuck

[boeing777300ER]

You will get even better Frame Rates if you change your Filtering Settings in the graphics card and leave it off in the simulator, the same applies for Anti-Aliasing as well

[Tunak11]

how do you get the yellow thing on ur mouse?

[IgorsVideos]

Hey nice video I need help with my sound setting you see I have a logitech webcam with a mic and I want to use that mic for multiplayer and o don't know how to make it work in this game also if there is no way to do it I have a mic built in to my laptop so maybe I can use that please get back at me

[coldandfrostymorning]

Hey thanks to everyone for your kind words :)

[theREALpianoman0615]

woah thanks man

[RomJonno15]

Yes thank you:) My system is working properly, the speed is faster, no bleary. Its great:) Thank you:)

[happybytheme]

how can i show my menu task bar

[BROOK3ZY]

Is.. "Mobile Intel (R) 965 Express Chipset Family" Compatible with fsx?

[trypwned]

@BROOK3ZY Yes it is, But i doubt you'll get more then 20 fps on Minimum settings.

[BROOK3ZY]

@ trypwnedyes I downloaded the demo and it was really bad, Im getting a new graphics card this is my pc;

intel pentium 4 3.4GHz

1.5gb ram

geforce 9500 gt 1gb

what do you think? good graphics? good fps?

thanks

[trypwned]

@BROOK3ZY It will give you ultra high settings But, You have to Disable your Traffic and Weather, I used to have the GeForce 9500 GT 1gb from Pny. I've changed to an Gtx 280.

Good Luck =)

[BROOK3ZY]

Okaay Thanks :)

[chubuking]

dude u need more ram

[klkyomama]

I only have a nvidia geforce 1150 and my graphics really suck and my FSX keeps laging when I put the water effects to high any help?

[saloontamoon]

turn down the graphics

[stigg46]

i just want to say thanx too ! you are probly the only person on youtube that has actually said I AM NOT AN EXPERT! Far too many people think they are Maverick ! thanx this helped loads!

[xxkevinxx323]

i have only a nvida geforce 7050 and there was a big difference rigth after i used these settings

[porchcookie]

I wanted to take a moment to say thanks for your videos. Not only is my system running better than it ever has, a number of major problems have also disappears. Thanks again

[evanericsenliman]

Sorry with my criticism of this. To be real, the shadow should also be there. Sorry with my criticism of this

[coldandfrostymorning]

Yes but this is about getting the best performance in FSX and not about being the ultra realistic.

[747forever]

I got a Nvidia GTX-280 I think its 1GB graphic card, and a 3GHZ Quad processor and I am more than satiesfied with it.

[AnthonyMac16]

thank you

[chubuking]

excellent cold great influence for people to get back on this simulation and experience the true feel to flying

[highonfsx]

fsx can utilize upwards of 200 cores if it had the processing power to do so....

[MrCars]

Thank you for your help! You have changed the way i fly Fsx. Before i would play with just an aircraft and a runway now i've followed your settings and everything is perfect so thank you!

[flystentz]

do anybody know how to chenge the place of tower in fsx ?

[mikey2k8134]

what about 1.6GHz

[coldandfrostymorning]

is this dual core or just a single 1.6ghz processor?

[PilotAllTheWay]

What is your monitor called?

[coldandfrostymorning]

I have a 22" widescreen by amw - model X2210WPS. Only cost £100 and its great for simming!

[planeman009]

so do i!!!!!!!!!

[PilotAllTheWay]

also, fsx DOES support multi core! Also, can you overclock? Why don't you? How do you?

[coldandfrostymorning]

The acceleration pack did bring in multicore support but it still doesnt utilise it as well as other more modern games. I havent overclocked as im not that technical when it comes to configuring hardware!

[PilotAllTheWay]

Also, sorry; I am getting a nVidia 9600GS 768mb graphics card! Will I be able to run fsx well with that along with the Q6600 and 3gb of ram? If so, what settings? Yours maybe?

[coldandfrostymorning]

yeah that sounds like a nice spec! I would say that the settings in this vid would work great. But have a tweak about with them trying different things that suit you :)

[PilotAllTheWay]

Hi,

Is your graphics card just as good as a nVidia 9600?

[coldandfrostymorning]

well yours is a series higher than mine, I have an 8600

[joshr783]

Hi Is there a way to set up your origional screen on FSX on your main screen, and then put a GPS system on a second screen?

[coldandfrostymorning]

Yes there is a way but I do not play with 2 screens so I cant help out! sorry, try searching on YT for a tutorial!

[jelliott123344]

cool that help me a lot you rock

[coldandfrostymorning]

glad I could help :)

[mrdistraction]

Your voice sounds familiar. Is your name Blake?

[coldandfrostymorning]

[mrdistraction]

Heh oops. My bad :)

[mustiej70]

[boobie284]

[coldandfrostymorning]

have you checked you have the up to date drivers??

[boobie284]

lol dude all i can tell you , i have updated trying each update from factory, to first update ever, and ive tried every single update, but its just that my graphics card is just way too low, its like not a gaming laptop so lol this is why i'm thinking of building a desktop for gaming, bfr i started with a asus am2/am2+ socket, 8600 gt low profile 512mb, 4 gb ram, 3.1 GHZ dual-core amd processor, win, xp for now, IDe HDD, to same things just oaprtts changed, the ram brand for cheaper, 9600 gso...

[Anwarboy786]

[boobie284]

get 9600 gso 1 gb by xfx cuase it comes with a 3d mark vantage card and also cod4 if u dont got it :P i got it hahahah and i love it so much im jsut so eager to install it already

[munggone]

Actually FSX by itself does not support multicore processors -- however -- FSX Acceleration is essentially a service pack that enables multicore utilization... I see you have Acceleration, so you are indeed getting a speed boost from your multicore system...

[sib1981]

its actually the SP2 that enables multicore usage..FSX Acceleration is just a re-package of the service pack and some more missions and aircrafts..

[reedy111111111111111]

hello m8 i have a alienware i7 920 2.66.mhz ati 5770 x2 but cant run this game on max setings i also downloaded sp1 and sp2 from flight sim web site and i fink it made it worse i run windows 7 64b fsx standard edition but i get alot of stop and start wen flying now iam thinking it cant be the comp surely its a monster machine for gaming costing around £1500 any ideas m8
