Best Settings for FSX (Bumpin' up the FPS) 

11 years later and this is the best video i have foundon tweaking fsx to get the best frames, i always go back to this video!

THANK YOU! I know its 2K16/17 but this still works!!! I can get 30-45 FPS while in cockpit with my PMDG 737 NGX and i capped it off at 50 FPS and while outside of the cockpit and i get i get nothing lower than 45! YOU ARE AMAZING! Thanks

Damm thanks, my aerosoft A320 (as we all know it takes a crap ton of fps) Before: 11-12 fps on ground and cruising and 8 fps on takeoff and landing. Now: 15-18 fps on ground and 10-12 on departure and arrival, this helps alot u earned a sub

Your video was most helpful and straightened out a lot of my problems, Jim

Very Good advice.... Thanks I went up from 45 to 74FPS

This helped so much! Wow the fps boost I got from this and the game looks stunning. I use ORBX and the game looks amazing Thanks so much!

dude for real,those are the best settings i have ever seen,thank you man ^^

Thanks so much! I appreciate your help and getting much more frames. Keep the GREAT work up!

this helped so much but still isnt as good as i thought i dont know if it is the computer or not but i have been lookin forever and am so thankfull that this bumped up my fps thank you soooooooo much :)

Thank you so much dude!! It works great now, and it should have worked great before as well because I have a 3.7 ghz processor and a gtx 960 graphics card, but for some reason I didn't get high fps, even with pretty low settings, but this really helped, thx alot!!

Thanks mate! It helped me a lot!

thank you!! As a matter of fact, i JUST got woai XD Ive had it for years and it's amazing!

Best tutorial ! i ever have seen dude good job!

Thx it worked now I can fly my CLS 747-200!!

Tnx man! you saved my FSX from crashing because of lag!

THANK YOU! Before your settings i get 25 fps, after your settings i get 60 fps. REALLY! YOU amazing!

THNKX DUDE THIS HELPED A LOT U ROCK

Dude you're the best, my frames got from 10-15 to even 40-50

awesome brother.. kickass this was

Your settings are awesome, thanks!!

hey John..the setting was amazing and worked perfectly.. thanks a lot I just wanna know, how come you're piloting the plane so smoothly? What is the control settings that you've used?

tnx dude this helped me out a lot...

thanks for the settings bro really good :)

worked amazing! looks great and i get 30fps without dropping one bit, i can fly in NYC with no frame drop thanks man

Thanx man it works awesome now whit the ngx from pmdg and rex essential overdrive im getting beetwen 30 an 45 fps on ground and up to 60 in the air !!!! thanx men

Thanks! Worked quite well actually. However, I use an external fps limiter instead as ive heard its better than the fsx built-in one. I used to have the limiter set to 30 fps and still got a bouncy fps from 5-30. After applying your settings, the fps was 25-30 at all times more or less.

Wow! This really helps! Thanks

Awesome it works perfectly thanks dude

thank you very nuch you solve my problem in fsx!!!!

You are a genius, thanks!

Thanks, yeah, I'll keep trying, I've also discovered that you can put in a line in the fsx.cfg folder to make it run on more cores! It's like infinitymask something :)

Thank you so much! I was getting about 10-20 fps with REX and now I always get around 30 fps!

thnks alot man it helped alot THanks

tnx it made it so much better

dude you're the Man thanks

thanks man,it worked well for me.My system is: Dell N5110 Laptop Intel i7 2670QM 2.20 GHz(Turbo boost to 2.90) Ram : 8 GB Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GT 525M , 1 GB Windows 7 Home Premium I set the fps to 35 and it's good now.Thanks

well...I was a little bit sceptical... but it works!!!!! Thanks dude!

thanks worked really well

thak you very much !!!!!!! my fsx performance has been change 180 degree :D

I got the setting correct or so I thought. My buildings in FSX keep flickering. How to I stop that ?? Thank you for your help.

thank you a lot it really i get over 48 fps :D 5/5 great vid :)

Hi John,i tryed Your setting and it was great for my computer and i also got rid of the fatal error that sometimes happend.Now the frp's are on 35 -50 so i've put it on 60 and it's fine.

thank man =D happy simming!

Thanks j. Any idea how to get the passenger stairs ?!

hey, i've found that the autogen and scenery complexity settings are the worst for bad frame rates, but with both on very sparse, when i flew over new york literally the only building was the empire state building, but even on normal the frame rates slow massively. should i have autogen fairly high but complexity low?

Quick question i just started to play Fsx again because it started to not to show any aircraft when i fly in free flight. So i uninstalled it and installed it again and it still is doing the same thing. If you can help me out that would be great thanks.

even with addon scenery, my traffic x and the pmdg 737 ngx it works fine! Thx a lot!

`You are such a legend!!

Just a question, in the resolution settings there is 1920x1200x16 and a 1920x1200x32, whats the difference between the "32" and the "16" thanks

Hey i have a question, I just got FSX a couple days ago and was wondering how you look around in the cockpit view??? Do you need to download something?

WOW that helped soooooooooooooo much thaks :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks a lot man!!!! A lot!!! :)

Hi John.. very nice video and was very useful as i run the fsx on a slow computer.. im not that much of a computer person.I have a small issue ,when i load up my plane everything looks perfect but after a few minutes the mcp panel and all the instructions go hazy.. it does come back to normal.. and sometimes it doesnt.. maybe i screwed up . even when i right click inside the plane i cant read anything.. can u please help?

One more question, where is the custom scenery file in fsx

thanks i subed

I also subbed yu yur awesome

HOW???? I am running this on notebook, and usually when I run other people's it lags like hell. EVEN THEY ARE LOW SETTINGS. WHEN I RUN YOURS MINE REACHES 30+

I got Nvidia GeForce 405 and 4GB DDR3 memory what do you think the frame rate??? I have FSX about 2 yers and i am always in the setting finding the perfect settings. I don't know what is the best frame rate. Unlimited frames its too much and 40 frames is very low. Sorry, my bad english!!!

Thank you!!!

i have an ASUS EAH4350.. what do you thing my target frame rate should be..

i tried ur tutorial and it has solved my problem.. jus got a bit carried away and added a few road and sea traffic. which has made my fps real slow.. the haze has disappeared .. no problem.. but got two more error message when i was flying .. fatal error and out of memory.. ah frustrating.. can u share ur views on this please?

one question man do you have the service pack install??

I have a intel pentium 2 ghz 4 gb ram and a ati radeon hd 5470 can please please tell me the settings what should i do

What about mine?? Core i5, 2.30 8 RAM.

may i ask wy not using direct x 10 ? it improves my graphix a lot ( ithink :D ) explane wy should i not use it :D

Gonna try them now! Hope it works and if it isnt Can i run FSX with a 64 MB graphics card?
