New FSX update coming!

Have you purchased FSX, but found its performance to be a little less than what you expected? A new update is due shortly (mid-May?) to address exactly this, and fix some other bugs as well. Phil Taylor of the ACES team at Microsoft is stating that you will see probably a 20% increase in performance depending on your system, and that this is a conservative estimate.

One thing to note is that the update will require a basically fresh install, in other words, an install where you have not modified any of the base files like textures and so on. It's ok to have added airplanes or scenery to the addon scenery directory, but make sure before you try to run the update that the base files are original.

Keep an eye here and I'll keep you posted as to its release date and any tips and tricks in how to install it.
