Thanks Rod, that worked. I don’t know why it hadn’t previously when I tried that mind :S might just be me having a funny turn :rolleyes:

I’ve got a dell thats about 3years old now and i have some performance issues but i can usually tweak the settings to get it running well.

You wouldnt have the links to those PC Pilot’s articles would you? Always striving to improve how the game runs on my PC.

Cheers
Alex

Glad to help.

But no, sorry. I don’t know where you can get them online.
Maybe perhaps on that new Key.aero site someday sometime in the future. (Hint hint Key, if you’re listening).

For now you may need to find the back issues somewhere. About issues 63/64 IIRC, but I don’t have them handy right now and I am not certain so don’t quote me.

IIRC you right click the current window and deselect “Hide menu bar”. HTH

I like FSX too. People get too hung up on the supposed graphics needs. If you set it up correctly it works pretty well on quite modest machines. I can get over 40 fps on my 4 year old Dell thanks to PC Pilot’s articles. That’s with Horizon’s VFR scenery and the VFR airfields too.
