• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Flashing BIOS

I have a ECS elitegroup motherboard with win10 installed, and I wanted to upgrade it from 4gb memory to 16gb, but I found I had to upgrade my BIOS to do it, when I tried to get intouch with ECS they told they don't support that motherboard any more. Anybody know how or where I can get the upgraded file from as I have the 16gb memory already. thanks in advance.

The number of my BIOS is ;-

BIOS : 64-0100-001131-00101111-090809-ATHLON64
 
It's news to me that the BIOS controls how much ram you can install. Normally, the OS, chip set, and cpu control that. And the number of slots. But I guess most anything is possible.
The motherboard in combo with the cpu support a certain maximum of ram. My old elitegroup MB will support a maximum of 8 gb. Your BIOS update may say something about supporting large memory sticks. But that might not mean more ram.
Where you got the BIOS update from should have instructions on how to install it. There are several different methods.

If you want to know how this is possible Bobby jack, start researching "Intel Management Engine" chip on your motherboard and what it can cripple (from remote). Here are few linsk to get you started (from the source):

Couldn't find anything in those links that talked about enabling 16 MB from the original 4. Especially from a BIOS update. I might have missed it, maybe.
