May 11, 201016 yr This is aggravating. I'll be in the air for a while, then the sound starts breaking up, FPS drops to 1 fps and my whole system bogs down including any other running programs. This goes on for about 2-3 minutes and then it returns to normal. I do NOT have a low end system and it should handle FSX just fine. I run the current NVidia drivers and my system specs will follow. I'm using Nick Needham's tweaks for FSX. I disabled the NVidia Helper Service and uninstalled the Physx/3D-steroscopic drivers (since I don't use them).

A defrag program with a hard-disk monitor feature could be it, or your anti-virus checking files or the entire system in the 'background'. Just some examples of things going bump in the night....

Yup, tried all that. Used a process monitor to track all running programs and services during the time FSX is running. It's FSX itself that's grabbing all the resources. Defrag is not an issue since I've already defragged per Nick's instructions. This is why I'm irritated that I cannot locate the problem.-Rick

May 11, 201016 yr Author Does it with ASE (or default) weather turned off and if I turn the sound off with the Q button. I may end up doing a complete reinstall to try and see if that fixes it. I'd rather not though.-Rick
