Hi all...I have an add in plane PSS Dash 300 which is great. Trouble is when I load it it makes FS9 stutter every 2-3 seconds. I have tried the following:1. Made a new panel aliasing another panel - this solved the problem - so the problem must be in aircraft panel2. I REM'd each gauge in the Panel.cfg to isolate any problem gauges - did not solve problem3. Changed my textures to DXT3 - did no solve problem4. I am using an older version of FSUIPC 3.72 I thinkAny ideas what more I can do to try and solve this ? I have good 30 FPS on my system used but it drops 7 FPS in stutter.Thanks...JB

Hi JBI can't think of anything you haven't already tried but thought if I replied, it will at least bring your question back up to the top of the list and maybe someone more knowledgeable will reply with something useful! :( I had the PSS Dash 300 and don't recall a problem, but that was back in FS2002 days. I'm not sure if I ever tried it in FS9 or not. Good luck

Hello,Had you try to supress the VC panel ?You can make it by editing the model file ...Must be some post in this forum about this modification (require the use of a Hex editor)Already some help here:http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?showtop...t&p=1745037I use it often as I use only 2D panel (personnal choice) and this work great (I use the "38" option )EDIT:I made a small tutorial for the model file edit Follow with pic order (1-2-3 .. etc)Download:http://www.4shared.com/file/3BEV4Dbz/Hexed...l-Tutorial.htmlRegards.Gus.

Hi all...thanks for all the suggestions. I went and tried the Hex editor route but this did not help. I tried another test. I wnet and download the same plane Antonov AN 24 from Samdim design onto another PC in the houses. This one is not as powerful as my flight sim one. Funny thing is therre were no stutters ! So I thing I have go the problem down to the route cause of the panel on my flight sim PC....something is going on.I am using a GEforce GTS250 video card on my flightsim PC with Enhancer. My FPS are great (30FPS) so what things should I look at on the video card settings to experiment with to see if the stutter will go away with this panel ?Many thanks...JB

That is really wierd -Just a shot in the dark - have you done a good defrag recently? Possible the files which are related to that panel are badly fragmented and causing the HD to spend extra time seeking what is required.Can't think of anything else to try other than what you have done.
