New to ASX. I get a lot of stuttering. Can anyone provide basic tips for setup? Q6600 with 8800GTX.Keith

Hi Keith,We'll be happy to help, but we need more details such as settings in FSX and ASX. Also a description of when the stuttering takes place.No need to post files or anything, just a bit more information.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Jim, Thanks for responding. OK. I am using the default settings with automatic updates set to 30 minutes. I lowered the cloud distance to 60 miles, and the stuttering is very short but very noticeable, it is almost like the sim has lost its smoothness. So it isn't PRONOUNCED but it is continual, a loss of fluidity as I control the aircraft, or pan my view, the panning is choppy.I tried saving and loading a saved WX file and it does the same thing.Keith

Hi,What happens if you use FSX weather and don't use ASX?How much system memory do you have?Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Thanks again. I tried FSX weather and it does not stutter. I admit that I never tried FSX weather before, because I have owned ASwxre, AS2004, AS5 and AS6. When I upgraded to FSX, I thought I had to get the latest Active Sky. I have 4 gigs of PC6400 running on Vista Home Premium 64. Very smooth without Active Sky.

Hi,What is your Cloud Draw distance?What are your AA and AF settings on your graphics card?How many cloud layers set in ASX?Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Jim:Sorry to take so long to respond. I have resolved the problem by changing drivers. I went back to Nvidia 169.25s. Now I was wondering how to help ASX display overcast. It seems to render overcast as broken clouds.Keith

Hi,What are your FSP locked at in FSX?How many cloud layers in ASX?The station is reporting OVC correct?Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Jim: I'm making progress here. I locked my fps and increased my cloud coverage. For once, I am glad that i spent the extra dollars for the GTX video card. Thanks so much for your help.Keith
