Hi
I am not a technical master or an engeneer, but reading on another site about that FSX miss some files or some files are in the wrong position, make me thinking to give a try and start Filemon with a filter that permitt only that FSX.exe is checked..
well after start filemon and start FSX, without starting any flight, only the GUI of the setting and close.
The log of file mon show A LOT  of files not found,all inside the default installation folder of FSX.
Some of them:

Microsoft Flight Simulator X\fsx.exe.Manifest       NOT FOUND      Options: Open  Access: 001200A9      

\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\GroundVehicles\VEH_Air_TransBus_Euro_Silver_sm.CAB      NOT FOUND      Attributes: Error      

Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\GroundVehicles\VEH_Air_FireTruck_US_Red_sm\texture.CAB      NOT FOUND      Attributes: Error      

these are only few of the files, other are related also to the textures forlder or dll missed.
As i said i am not an expert and i am reporting what expert are telling about, and is that these missed files are the couse of the long time loading of the sim, probably they are not arming the performance intented fps or smoothness of the game...but they could be..
I hope that the new coming patch, will fix this, for the benefit of all of us.

I hope that someone else can test this, with a knowledge bigger than mine...

Someone can explain this kind of issue,and if is possible to fix this, even this will be very long and maybe not for all the users...

Cheers

those files are probably not necessary to begin with... they must have been removed in the game development process by ACES themselves :-?


if there

Hi Moach and thanks for the replay.
Well as i said i am not an expert, so i was al ittle amazed about this post i have read, and to be honest, the answer were a little confused for me, a lot in a technical way, so i wanted to look at this myself and found what i have reported.
My sim is going fine, is the retailed standard version, and probably i have found the right setting to make it run smooth enough with my specifics as pc.
Maybe i will upgrade the video card from ATI X 1600 XT to ATI 1900 cross fire edition 512 Mega, not in SLI, just alone, hoping that this card can improve a little..
Some suggestion about?

Stefano
