Hello1st of all big thanks to all posters on this forum and to Nick N for his guide.It was a combination of the above that made me buy a I7 set up for FSX.And so far I am well happy with it.My 2 questions are1 I have enabled Vsynch as per the guide provided by Nick N. Refrence Nhancer, My Dell2407 monitor has a refresh rate of 60hz but some times FSX goes over 100FPS.According to the guide it should not go over the refresh rate of the monitor. PLease see pics bleow of Nhnancer set up and screen shots in game of higfh FPS. Am I losing peformance because of this and any suggetsions on how to fix would be great.2I would say I am 95% happy with the performance of FSX it is pretty much set up to Nick Ns guideseen here http://www.simforums.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=29041The only dissapointment I have is landing at HEathrow the FPS drops to 20-25 where as every were else is +30 in the UK.So I have Vista 64 and I am wandering if anyone could tell me if they think it is worth doing this suggestion by Nick N for OS tweaks http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1208959973would it increase FPS and by how much roughly and would it make flight smoother??Thanks in advancePictures below for question 1 By the way for the lower picture NHANCER it is the same settings in the GLOBAL settings aswell so Vysnch is on in Global and Profile

If you're using the DX10 preview mode, be aware that it overrides the vertical synch settings, and I know of no workaround to this (except to turn off DX10 preview)

20-25 fps in FSX around a dense scenery area like EGLL is pretty good performance...no cause for disappointment there.RegardsBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO

Hi Bob, thanks for your reply and suggestion about making sure DX10 is off. I never use DX10 so it is definitly off. Therefore I am still not sure why Vsunch does noit seem to be working..

Are you in full-screen mode? VSync does not have an effect in windowed mode. But your screenie also has no discernable AA, with all those nasty jaggies on the glareshield. Is AA unchecked in the MSFS settings?You might also try double-checking that the version of nHancer you're using is compatible with the driver version you're using.CheersBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO

Hi BobThanks for your 2nd suggestion but I always use fullscreen, AA is unchecked in FSX settings. My GTX285 driver is 7.15.11.8250 and I am using NHnacer version 2.5.1 so as far as I can tell everything is as it should be.Its a strange one!CheersLaz
