I have not yet installed any add-on packages to the game, and I haveonly been running at default. I am getting poor fps performance. I have beengetting anywhere from 8 fps to 17 fps where the locked fps has been set at 30. The screen appears to be jerky and not very stable. I wasgetting much better performance for FSX Acceleration using Vista SP1. Does anyone have any suggestions about what I can do to getbetter performance, so that I can enjoy virtual aviation again? Thank you in advance.
May 10, 201115 yr Check the link to Bojote's donation-ware online optimising service in my signature, it really works.Also, this pc/laptop optimising guide might help:http://www.simforums.com/forums/topic34141_post198187.html#198187
May 10, 201115 yr IMHO a laptop is not really a suitable for FSX. Sure there are some laptops that are "Desktop Replacements" but they are made more for mobility rather than performance.My two cents... VATSIM: P2 | I1

Great Printers though.:Tounge:Seriously though--go through the NickN setup--the ******* tweaks and be prepared to not run sliders all to the right. Some of your gear is better than mine and I run great.Take your time and try different approaches. Took me a couple of years to get it the way I want. Jim Atkins
