hey i was just wondering, is there any way to make a fsx aircraft faster, i know its somthing with the cfg file and i downloaded a cfg editor, when i do change the max speed on it nothing happens to the aicraft speed itself it still goes to the other max speed.

Before attempting this, back up the old CFG first; that way if you make a mistake it can be restored to its former working state!




Scroll down to that entry in the aircraft CFG folder and in last line of the above example you have the option to raise the value to however you'd like it; i.e. static_thrust=41211.000.

when i do that it still goes to the old maximum speed? is there anything else i need to do?

There's something your still obviously doing wrong; does it feel/look faster?

no not really the things i changed was static trust and the max speed

PS how high does the static trust have to go in order to achally to get a lot more speed say like 50 knots

50 more knots on a C172 or an F16? Are you sure you're editing the CFG for the correct aircraft/variant?

no not a c172 or a f16 just like a 737 or somthin like that so i can get through my long flights just a tad faster. yes i'm positive, i use my cfg editor then press upload cfg file and find teh aircrafts cfg file

LOL.

Seems like your defying the point of the whole game a little. Its like having a racing game to race against other players.. but modifying the game to make you go faster and therefore win; its a bit pointless.

Are you aware of increasing the simulation rate in the game? This will basically speed-up the simulation clock BUT not increase the actual speed of the aircraft.

ooooo, no i'm just doing this on single player when i need to go a little faster cuz i have a sharp deadline

I know you are, I was just using it as an example. Have you tried changing the simulation rate?

I will tomorrow because my computer is running somthing else and if I run fsx with it normally both of them will crash.

Sure you aren't just running Windows? It usually crashes with that and one other window open.

It worked, except when i tried going back to normal speed it has to load again

It loads again because it needs to reinstate the detail for the area you've come into.. usually its a gradual process when flying normally; but because you've basically plonked yourself in there, the simulator needs to 'update' itself if you like!

oh thats why, thanks
