You should do my test, instead. Comment it, and verify it stays commented after launching FSX and opening the Addon Manager *without* pressing the "Save to FSX" button. This will confirm you the Addon Manager won't change a setting until you press the Save button.


--- Quote ---Using Bufferfpools my understanding is that the default value is 4000000. If there is no Bufferpools setting added to the FSX.CFG file, FSX would automatically default to this amount correct?

I believe the default for FSX SP2 is 3000000, so this is the value FSX SP2 defaults to, if there's no setting, or the setting is commented. We have set it at 5000000 in the Addon Manager but, again, this will only used if you *first* click the "Defaults" button and *then* click "Save to FSX". Otherwise, it will READ your existing setting and will display it there.


--- Quote ---So if I comment out your BUFFERPOOLS line in the Addon Manager file to usepools=0 and poolsize=0 (intending the resulting outcome to revert to the default)  - does this happen or does it actually set the Bufferpools to disabled?
--- End quote ---

Not sure I understand "comment out". If you mean you comment it, meaning the line would start with a ; sign and you save the FSX.CFG file, FSX will then use its own internal default values, which are poolsize=4000000 and usepools=1

The Addon Manager will DISPLAY 5000000, because this is ITS default, which is shown because it could't find any setting in the FSX.CFG file, but again, FSX will not USE it, unless you press the famous "Save to FSX" button.

Basically, you shouldn't think of the tweaks to be what FSX is *using* now. It's more like "what FSX WILL use from the next start IF you'll press the SAVE button"
