There are LOTS of tweaks for FSX in the FSX fora. Unfortunately I'm away from my computer so I can't give you any links for said tweaks. All I can say is they worked wonders on my rig, I gained a pretty nice FPS boost along with better graphics just by altering a few numbers in that game's .cfg file. Good luck!

BTW, compared to SH4, FSX literally flies on my rig, especially after I o/ced the processor a bit. My specs:

CPU: Intel Core2Duo E8200 @2.66GHz, o/ced to 3GHz
RAM: 2x1GB Kingston @800MHz, o/ced to 913MHz, 5-5-5-15 timings
Mainboard: Asus P5K SE
GPU: ASUS EAH3450, 256MB DDR3
HDD: Western Digital 320GB SATA2, 16MB cache
Monitor: Samsung 17'' CRT
Graphics card settings: 1024x768 @ 85Hz, AA 8x, AF 16x, using ATi Tray Tools and Omega drivers (don't remember the version, dates from April or May)
Thanks for the input DrBeast.
I must say that I am rather surprised to hear that SH runs slower than FSX on your rig.
How do I disp-lay frame rates in FSX?
I presume you are using XP and not VISTA?
