Forgive me, I've searched and searched,  and I know the answer is here somewhere.

I have installed Vista 64bit and FSX is running very well.

I know that x64 uses 4 gigs of RAM, and for the first time the specs actually show the whole 4 gigs being used.

But do I have to go through the Command Prompt and put in the line to make FSX use more than 2  gigs?

And what is that line?  Many thanks and my apologies.

nope

64bit is 16 terabyte aware and no edits are needed

I assume you are running FSX SP2. If its SP1 then you must manually edit the FSX.exe file for >2GB aware

Thanks Nick for your prompt response.  I have Acceleration/SP2 installed, so from your reply I take it that no further action is needed to employ the 4 gigs.

I did a search ("command prompt fsx.exe memory", "fsx.exe edit memory 2Gb") but couldn't find anything.  Would you  mind pointing me to this or posting how to edit.  My payware just will not work well, (even with payware updates) with SP2/Acceleration Pack, and there are other little glitches that occur with that installed, but not SP1 so I'm just sticking with that for the moment.  Thanks in advance.
