Ultrasurf is a freeware proxy-bypass program, which will let you surf the net privately and freely.
It doesn’t need to be installed, as it’s only one small executable file that you can run directly from your HDD or your USB flash drive. I tried it, and it’s safe, with no spyware and adware attachments.
Download it here: http://www.ultrareach.com/
Run the program and set your proxy to: Address: localhost, Port: 9666, and you’re ready to go.
Have fun.
Tried Microsoft Flight Simulator X on Windows Vista the other day, and to my surprise, it runs much faster than Windows XP! Much faster equaling more than 10 FPS increase!
I was so surprised actually, but loved the fact that I can now try all the new wonders of DX10 (I have the Acceleration Xpack installed). The game looks prettier now, and runs faster, what more could I ask for?!?!?
In case you were wondering about the settings, I have:
- Scenery complexity set at very dense.
- Autogen at Normal.
- Water set to 2.0 Max.
- Ground scenery shadows on.
- Light bloom on + AA + Aniso.
- Traffic at 20%.
I have to mention that setting the framerate lock to unlimited brought additional performance to the game, also about 10 FPS increase. For some unknown reason, the game runs slower even if I set the FPS cap at 60 FPS.
Well, it doesn’t even matter how I got this extra performance boost. For now, I’ll just sit and fly!! Oh, and by the way, a big thank you to the guys at ACES Studios, great job..
