Feel free to adjust the sliders in FSX as well as some of the values in the fsx.cfg until you reach the perfect compromise between looks and smoothness.Ī word on those "resized performace textures":ĭon't use them. You have your FSX running perfectly if it is a smooth as possible at the best graphics possible for your system!įinding that "sweet spot" (or G-Spot ) is a thing that can take a while.
