If you're a Vista user, it's in a different location..................
Do a search for fsx.cfg and it will show you OR, I will be happy to list the tree for you to find it..................suggestion only..............IF you're going to alter the config, copy it to desktop..............rename your fsx.cfg in the FSX folder to fsx.cfgold..................that way you can go back if necessary.

You can search for it with the search function in xp/vista. Make sure you checkbox the thing that says search for invisible files and system files.

Vista fsx.cfg location:

C:\
Users\HP_Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

Note: HP_Administrator is MINE - yours may be Dell_Administrator or JohnsMachine_Administrator or whatever..................BUT this is the tree......to get to the FSX.cfg file............

Hope it helps/
