Noob here assistance required :)

Hi lads

I bought FSX Gold Edition and would like to know what I should do with regards to updating the game to get it runing smoothly. Is there any software I should be aware of that makes the game more enjoyable?

So far I have maxed out the graphics to the best of my ability and it looks ok but, obviously it's a very old game.

I often lose the sound so have to restart the game and during the Learning Centre missions often the game will screw up and I have to restart the mission.
There is a contradiction between what Rod says and what he wants me to do which is very annoying during the Part 2 lessons on VOR and ATC lessons. I feel completely lost 'up there' and clueless about where i'm going and the cockpit is just a nightmare of controls, dials and radio systems lol

eeeeeeeek!!

Any advice would be greatly received as I really want to be able to take off in a jetliner, know how to get from A to B and land using ATC and VOR etc

I used that "bojotes" advisor tool

Where does the cfg file go? in the main directory or sub folder?

Hi
if on win 7 you'll find the fsx.cfg file in C:\Users\YOURUSERNANE\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX.

If XP it's similar location, mydocuments is good starting point, the bit after roaming above is the same on xp.
May the Mynd be with you.
So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs.
