FSX keeps pausing runnig ASX

[rpowers 5]

I was just running ASX with ASX loading Xgraphics textures and was getting quite frequent pauses.I have not been using ASX lately so this is why I noticed it.I posted a while back about this problem and was to to uncheck"force to high priority" which I did and it seemed to help.I saved my flight,exited FSX and shut down ASX.Reloaded FSX and loaded my saved flight.Scnery,clouds,weather seemed just like they were when I saved the flight.No pauses like I was getting with ASX running.I have a med mach which hopefully I am upgrading soon but it runs FSX OK.Is what I did a "poor man's" way of utilizing ASX or was I not using it at all?Thanks,Ron

Hi Ron,Some weather data is saved when you save a flight, but I would say that you were not using ASX at all. How much system memory do you have?Happy Holidays,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

I have P 4 2.4, 1.5 gb ram and 256 video card.So basically I saved the weather and it obviusly isn't going to change which is OK for now.It just looks like I won't really be able to use ASX till I get new mach? Thanks,Ron

Thanks,I figured that out.Using XGraphics and FS real weather just now it worked OK.I am hoping to get a new unit really soon,like I am waiting for final quote from my computer guy.He is telling me Nvidia 8800GT/512 is no longer available and I think he just can't get it.Hope I'm right and I'll find it for him.Thanks for the support.Ron
