Since your question has been answered, I'll shamelessly hijack this thread to ask your advice about my rig.

My setup is inches away from your setup, yet my result is miles away from your result.
I do run significantly slower RAM (DDR3-1600). I was told that upgrading the RAM "isn't worth it", because it wouldn't make a difference for most games (blabla highly localized code blabla big cpu caches blabla), perhaps FSX is the exception to the rule?
The specs for my board are saying: "Support for DDR3 3200(O.C.) / 3100(O.C.) / 3000(O.C.) / 2933(O.C.) / 2800(O.C.) / 2666(O.C.) / 2600(O.C.) / 2500(O.C.) / 2400(O.C.) / 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 2000(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1800(O.C.) / 1600 / 1333 MHz memory modules" -- not sure how to read that and whether it means I can just buy some faster-than-1600 DDR3 RAM and use it at it's max speed. Any idea?
I did try a bit of CPU overclocking, but with my (air) cooling, the 4790K already runs at 90°C when I try 4.4 GHz, which seems a bit too hot, so I guess I will have to invest in better cooling, too.
I learnt the hard way that I shouldn't have altered the .cfg file at all.. They should be clean as snow
Huh. Not even an affinity mask to "disable" HT for the sim?
Thanks for any advice you can give!
