this is diff. from FSAuto Start how again?
FSAS will start/stop services for ya', as well as defrag memory. I don't recall if it had "profiles" or not, as I quit usin' it last year.
I bet out of the 1000's of people that play AH, only a couple hundred have their PC setup "correctly" to fly with. I ALSO bet that 90% of the whines you see when flying and on the BBS could be "fixed" by a properly setup computer.
(my 2 cents...)
Sounds like he updated it from the last time I used it. I'm not trying to push my stuff over his, nor say it's better.
What I remember the difference is in services for example it explains what they do and if you should shut it down or not. It doesn't really leave you with any questions. Anything you click has an descriptions and\or file info,... company name etc..
For all I know his MAY be better. I just make my own stuff, and if I like it I cut it loose for others to use if they want. But most of what I make is for me and how I want it to work.
It will also kill the desktop and you can access any file from it or any control panel applet etc..
I have 7 bkg process running when I start AH, and I kill up to 14 services so far.
It also has a connection section, and will prolly end up with system tweaks in it too at some point.
If I had to GUESS I would ass-ume it's maybe a little more robust, but I could be totally wrong since I haven't used any newer version of fsautostart.
But like I said I'm not competing with the guy at all. We just may have a little difference in approach and interfacing.
The biggest thing I care about is getting at least most players on the same level of performance. Whether they choose mine or his is irrelevant to me. As you said most complaints are due to their system isn't tweaked for streamline performance. If you have Task Scheduler active and something decides to run while playing a game you're probably going to experience a hicup, glitch, stall or more. And it doesn't really matter much if you have a monster machine or not, there are some things that will prevent streamline data.
I don't know if his does it or not but it will restore the PC to the way it was
without booting. Meaning you don't HAVE to make these settings and leave them permanent, they are only temporary until you're done playing, then you can use it for office work again
If you feel more comfortable with his stuff then by cod use it. But use something besides a non-tweaked machine. IMO.
The very worst I can say about his stuff is <S>. <shrug>
