Hi guys, Thanks for a awsome addon pmdg as always! i have been with you guys since day 1 and have all your addons! My pc specs Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition 980X, Asus Rampage III Extreme, Corsair 12GB Kit Triple Channel, 2X XFX Radeon HD5970 Black Edition in cross fire,Corsair 256GB SSD, Western Digital 1TB, LG CH08LS10 Blu Ray Combo Drive, Logitech G19 keyboard, SilverStone TJ10B, Corsair CMPSU-1000HXAU 1000W, Noctua NH-U12P-SE2, w7 I am not getting the best frames atm for fsx i need to do some more tweeking, i have done the http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html and that has helped any body have a system like me and have any ideas? i can get around 25-30fps with almost no scenery in 2d mode i get 50 plus fps smooth as :) Also any chance of a 2d panel for the throttles? Thanks in advance guys!!!!! Andrew

is the 2d panel eye sight correct? it seems a bit high, yer ive tried everything still not that smooth, what is the specs of the http://www.flyaoamedia.com/aoa/nicks-737ngx-takeoff/ computer?Andrew

Also what settings for the graphics card are people using the ati cards? cheersAndrew

Also interested in seeing a good answer to this one.As an ATI user myself I have been tinkering a lot with Catalyst Control Center. I have a HD6950 myself. Finding the best settings is not easy and most FSX Tutorials are all about the Nvidia settings. If there's anyone with a similar card who has the better CCC settings I would love to get a PM or just reply ;)

You are not alone, and you have accordingly less:http://forum.avsim.net/topic/341808-frame-rates-compared-to-the-400x/page__view__findpost__p__2048117

Hmm, I don´t know, after tinkering around with the settings in fsx and the fix on the supplied link, my NGX runs just fine now. Sure I don´t have 30 fps on the ground, but 16-25 is normal for me and that is with all slider in autogen to the max. I have an ATI 5560 with 1 gb Ram....not sure what the equivalent GeForce card is though.....I would really like to know. But so far I must say that the NGX runs better than expected on my system.

why do people buy a 980x for more than 1000$ when they can get an i7 2600k or i7920 for 300$ that can do exact the same in fsx.i dont understand that.

I have basically the same computer 99X, 590 card OC to 4.2 Ghz, same MD ASUS Exrteme III, 12 GB ram and I see > 100 fps in the 2D withthe setting recommended in the manual. At level flight I am at 150 fps. Even iin the 3D heading into my FLYTAMPA scenery, I am > 40 fps. I have a computer just for FSX, no anti virus, no other programs. FSX is on the 120 G SSD card. The 1.5 TB other HD is basically empty. You should be getting much better. BTW. I am sure the 2600 can match my performance, but I did not want to take any chances on a new computer - go all out or don't go at all.

Well tell me what fps are you getting with the 2000?

hey i got the 980x for other gaming and photo editing lol i did tweeking i get 40fps locked now in 3d and over 50-60 in 2d smooth as i have the scenery off tho now! cpu runs at %20 lol the whole time Andrew

paulyg123. if you have the money you can do it but i myself would NEVER pay 1000$for a cpu NEVER EVER.but that do not mean that other people shouldent do it.i would use 300-400$ and then an ssd disk and some memory if i should use 1000$.i also always pay cash never have a loan to hardvare. thats just the way i think.by the way we have a finance crises here in denmark to.hope you dont being mad at me for saying so.

Not trying to burst your bubble Paul, actually you've been told before about this, just trying to help those who are planning an upgrade make the right decision.Sandy Bridge's 2500K and 2600K are both equally faster than a 980X / 990X in FSXAnd the GTX590 is a terrible GPU of choice. Only half of it ill be working in FSX so it performs like a $200 GTX560

Whats the best gpu?Andrew
