HiI am new here,I have FS2004, when air traffic audio messages are relayed as according to mission, when I am on the ground I do notice a jerk in the picture, its like the PC cannot do both at the same time.compaq PCMCE2005 OS2G RAM A lot of it is free250G hard drive - game running from HDD1440 x 900 screenintel dual core E6400So is this just the time it takes to read the file from disk while doing the graphics so there is a jerk, quite normal, or is there something I can do?regardskrishan

Audio will always have some impact on the cpu, but it's pretty hard to say, as you haven't listed your gpu, its memory, and the pertinent bits of your fs9.cfg, Krishan. The rest of the system looks good: you might want to post your graphics settings while you're at it.regards,

Hi there...Do you use the onboard sound from your mobo or an add-on card like the Creative X-Fi? You will get this much more pronounced with onboard sound as the soundcard is probably using 12-15% of your cpu for sound and FS want 100% to itself... An add-on soundcard offloads the work.Onboard sound and having the DX settings to full will have more of an impact than anything...Good luck,-PaulPrimary RigLiquid CooledIntel C2D E6600 @3.2 gigsAsus P5N32SLI-Plus2 gigs Corsair XMS PC6400 4 4 4 12 @810Dual OC'd XFX 8800GTX @ 2 gigs24 inch Widescreen LCD 16XAA/16XAFDual 19 inch LCD'sRaid-0+1PCPower and Cooling 1k Quad SLIhttp://home.comcast.net/~psolk/3monitorsa.htmlBackup RigAMD 4000 San Diego @ 2.72 Gigs Kingston Corsair XMS CL2XFX 7900 GTX Raid-0

Check that your HDs are not in PCIO mode. It must be in UDMA to work stutter free. This can be check in the Hardware Manager. PCIO was the sole cause of stutter on my machine.

Assuming you're using Windows XP, make sure you are allowing XP to search for "hidden" files......FS9.cfg is a hidden file.John M

maybe one of the guys with more experience knows if Realtek is onboard sound?If so I am guessing that is your issue right there...Anyone?-PPrimary RigLiquid CooledIntel C2D E6600 @3.2 gigsAsus P5N32SLI-Plus2 gigs Corsair XMS PC6400 4 4 4 12 @810Dual OC'd XFX 8800GTX @ 2 gigs24 inch Widescreen LCD 16XAA/16XAFDual 19 inch LCD'sRaid-0+1PCPower and Cooling 1k Quad SLIhttp://home.comcast.net/~psolk/3monitorsa.htmlBackup RigAMD 4000 San Diego @ 2.72 Gigs Kingston Corsair XMS CL2XFX 7900 GTX Raid-0

You have on board sound then.I might suggest a new PCI sound card.

Yep, you can even pick up the X-fi entry level cards for $50-$60 if I remember correctly.Well worth it to offload some work from your cpu.
