March 3, 200620 yr Hey all! Does anyone have any idea on why fs goes all to h*** after awhile? Here's what happens...a sort of play-by-play scenerio, by time.9:01am: I wake up9:30am: I start FS to make a flight10:00am: I take off10:05am: Pass FL18010:13am: Reach cruising altitude10:15am: Leave and go to class (college)2:00pm: Get back to the computer2:03pm: Turn off FS due to crap performanceThe problem, is that at some point while I'm gone, FS's performance will go down the tube. If I stay at the computer and move the mouse around, etc, it doesn't happen, which makes me thing that something happens on the computer if I'm away from it for awhile. All I know is that I get really really good framerates if I don't leave the computer (for a significant amount of time)...if I do leave it for awhile, and come back, my framerate drops to less than a third of what it was (I have the slider locked at 30 or 35fps).Here are my system specs:Asus P5ND2-SLI DeluxeWindows XP SP2Pentium D 3.20ghz (it was either the only, or one of the 800 series dual core CPU's)2 gigs of ram250 gig hard driveWatercooledNvidia 7800GTX OverclockedPlextor DVDR PX716A (double layer dvd burner)Soundblaster Audiolgy ZS GamerKlipsch surround soundThanks everyone! - Paul
