As the title says, this can help your game look great..i wouldnt do steps 6 and 7 as that is for his personal computer

and he mentions enb...i have used this in the past, looks great but can be a little dark at time, but you can change settings in it. If you dont like it, find the 4 files that you zipped in an delete them or Tto start/stop the mod press anytime SHIFT+F12;
ENBseries: What is it??
ENBSeries is the project of graphic modifications for games. The main idea is to allow every gamer to configure how game looks like for their own taste, so every player could share settings with others. Many games may look much better and ENBSeries is the easiest way to improve them.

personally i found the settings in the above very blurry, the least blurry one i found is below copy and paste it into the enbseries.ini deleting all other info in it.

im not really a big fan of enb, so i looked at sweet fx
http://sweetfx.thelazy.net/
really is good, load up the game to the menu, start the sweet fx tool point it at your fsx, then you can start to mess with it,
here is a video explaining it all
[video=youtube;ozn9NtRFLZc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozn9NtRFLZc[/video]
Found out that the enb and sweet fx mods incompatable with win 8.
The Top post is fine though all of these work, just dont do 6 and 7 as that is for his system...now to reinstall fsx
edit ok didnt need to reinstall fsx, just took out the sweetffx folder and some sweetfx .ini files one at time, and deleted Dxgi.dll which sweetfx puts in.
One thing about FSX and modding it is because there are so many permutations ..aircraft scenary, etc it may or may not work on your system
PS the top post mods do look sweet
