The Great Framerate Reliever Guide

File Description:
The "Great Framerate Reliever Guide" is a lofty title for a FS9/FSX guide I wrote to explain how to make the most of your flight simulation experience in FS9 and FSX using just a few minor utilities, and spending less than $50 USD. Thanks to the hard work of many individuals, setups like this are entirely practical and won’t have you sitting in the “FS doghouse” with your significant other. If you want to retrieve some of those lost framerates in either FS9 or FSX, this is a must-read. Also included in this package is a modified FS9.cfg file for FS9 users, which has allowed FS9 users to squeeze even more framerates out of your FS setup. Don't be envious of your neighbors Flight Sim setup. I've been using this setup for years now, and it's enabled me to thoroughly enjoy my simulation experience, even as budgets waned.

FSX A321 Workaround for Shockwave 3d – Redux lights

File Description:
FSX A321 landing or taxi lights only in shockwave Redux. Workaround for Shockwave 3d – Redux lights in the default A320. (an easter egg!) When you install the Shockwave 3d lights (both the plain version and the Redux version) you will end up with a plane that can not land with it’s lights on without having it’s gear down. Luckily, there is a taxi light switch on the overhead panel that works. Therefore by removing the “lights out when gear up command” by the shockwave gauge, lights won’t go out when gear is up any more. Now you’ll have to switch the gear lights (not the landing lights!) off by clicking the taxi lights switch on the overhead, and the taxi (gear) lights actually go out, while the landing lights stay on (and vice versa, and you also can have both on or off at the same time)
