Reduced Stutters in FSX

Featured Replies

Just thought I would post this in case it offers any help to others. I use an Analogue Matrox Unit and three NEC WT610 Projectors for my 737-800 set-up. I have a high spec. P.C., but like most others using FSX have always experienced the odd stutter. Most might be using a Digital Matrox Unit, but when I first tried this the signal was not sufficent for my three projectors, and I had to switch to an Analogue Unit. The Digital Unit is USB powered, while the Analogue Unit is Mains/Transformer powered, and has more 'boomph!'I have used this Unit now for one and a half years, and while it has given me trouble free use, I have always noticed after a flight time of say one to two hours, that the Unit is very hot. This got me thinking; after all there is good reason why we have cooling fans in our P.C.'s. Any electrical Harware gets hot, and in a P.C. needs to be cooled down. I decided to build a very simple wooden rig that sits over my Matrox Unit, and fix a 12 volt DC cooling fan to this. I already had a 12volt Transformer available in use for my Overhead panel, so was able to take power from this. Total cost £4.99 for the fan!First thing I noticed, which was expected, is that the Matrox Unit is now just warm to the touch after a flight, but after now having had about ten flights since building this fan unit, my stutters seem to have diminished! I can't say why exactly this might be, and as mentioned above, stutters were never a big problem for me, but things seem to be smoother. So, anyone using a Matrox Unit might like to consider this. The cost is very low, and I think worth the experiment.ATX Tower with 1200w PSUIntel i7 Extreme Quad CoreCorsair 256MB SSD x 2Nvidia 480 GTX 1536Mb Amped DCorsair 12Gb Tri Channel 1600MhzWindows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
