Those guides are outdated. Is there something more recent?

The only tweak guide you really need:
http://www.simforums.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=29041

Continually updated and covers about everything I've seen mentioned as a tweak. It gives you the facts about some of the tweak myths as well.

So basically it's the same info you linked to, just all in one post?

I used that guide and game still having major performance issues... frame rate is all over place and there is severe lag spikes.

I used it (again, after several years), and it worked superbly - again. Much smoother performance, increased fps. The bonus is that using his nHancer settings has improved graphics performance and appearance of a few other sims. And solved a significant previously insoluble problem with the new ArmA 2: tnear distance trees and shrubs were uniformly a sickly whitish grey regardless of nVidia card and in game settings. The FSX settings for nHancer corrected this problem - and improved frame rates.

It is basically the same info but all in one spot. I used to have the multiple links in my Favs folder also until this one link panned out to be the best one stop shop.

It might help zero in on some help, if you'd post your system specs.
FWIW Mine is a very first generation purpose built FSX machine that is for the most part all 2+ year old hardware. By using the tweaks from that post I have no complaints about how FSX performs or looks on this aging system. smile
