Hi there, like many of u i keep having performance probs with FS9, frame rates are crap and is now doin my head in.Today I have moved the sliders to the left a bit, installed my addon aircraft with dxt3 texture repaints instead and reduced traffic to 30%.The frame rates are still crap even with all this adjustment, and feel like tearing my hair out.Anyone got any suggestions?Kind RegardsGavin Moss

Hi,System specs always come in handy!Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/

I agree with Jim, we need your system specs. What are " crap " frame rates? Did you de-frag after installing your add ons? What were your frame rates before you installed add-ons? We are willing to help, but we need more information.John M

hi how stupid of me to forget to give my spec, sorry, here they are:Maximum Memory Capacity: 2048MB Currently Installed Memory: 1536 MB Available Memory Slots: 1 Number of Banks: 3 Dual Channel Support: No CPU Manufacturer: GenuineIntel CPU Family: Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.40GHz Model 3, Stepping 4 CPU Speed: 3400 MHz Graphics: NVIDIA FX5500My current frame rates are around 9Kind RegardsGavin Moss

>Today I have moved the sliders to the left a bit..try moving to the left a bit more...

1). Get MemStatus:http://www.programmersheaven.com/download/5759/download.aspx - to check how well your system and video memory is being managed; 2). I reckon you can use a better video card - the 5500 is a bit dated - and is already a low-end card anyway.3). There are a ton of tweaks for FS9 on this site. You need to do a search; compile a document with all you find, and then start applying them.Regards,

One "quick and dirty" suggestion is to make certain that your AA settings are OFF in the simulator and ON in the video card settings themselved.That one change essentially doubles my frame rates. Check that one and see if it helps.Ed GreenKCLThttp://www.panelshop.com/Banners/DEV.jpg
