J G 927 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I have started a brand new FSX install on a new PC and cant seem to do the following: Have the start resolution set to 1920 x 1080 - it always starts at 1280 x 720. Have the start anti-aliasing setting on and set to anisotropic - it always starta with anti-aliasing off and the dropdown box on the topmost value of bilinear. Finally, FSX always starts up full screen, I cant seem to get it to start in windowed mode. Any help on sorting out these issues would be great, I am not adverse to making changes to config files.

needles 1,013 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hey John, I believe that if you set everything the way you want it, then save that flight, FSX should start with those settings. Other than that you could set everything in the fsx.cfg. Adjust what you want in that file and save it. That should also sort it for you. Good luck. I am also going through a complete re-install, happy dazed. Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Sounds like the settings are not saved to your FSX.cfg for some reason.. Double check that the permissions in your C.\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX folder aren't out of wack for some reason... Easiest way to check it should be to check the "last updated"-date for your FSX.cfg file. Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I have had a look and tinker with my FSX.cfg file. I think I have sorted everything except the resolution. I have the correct numbers in the cfg file but something is overriding it. Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I have found the culprit. I use a starter app called SimStarter. Its a very good app for setting up all sorts of variables but I cant get it to use the resolution I want. The correct entries are in the fsx.cfg file but they seem to be overridden by SimStarter. there may be a way to fix this in SimStarter but I haven't managed to find it yet!

Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 IIRC...there is a section of Sim starter where you can manualy edit the fsx.cfg. I stopped using SimStarter because i was getting myself and my settings confused. I am just editing the fsx.cfg these days, and using the dx10 config tool. Link to post Share on other sites
