September 29, 201114 yr Hello captains!I'm having an issue with my FSX and I need your help! First of all, here's my PC configuration:Windows 7 64 bits with all updates installedProcessor: Intel i7 3.46 GHzRAM: 8GB RAMHD: 1 TBMotherboard: ASUS III RampageGraphic Card: ATI HD Radeon 5970 The flight is perfect - no CTDs and no freezings...But when the airplane is in the airport, the image starts to "lag" (the frames get slow)When I leave the airport, everything is fine.And when I arrive at some airport, the graphics starts to get slow again... It happens in any airport...Is it a problem with my graphic card or some FSX configuration? Please, send me a light!Thanks in advance!
September 29, 201114 yr Commercial Member If it's any airport at all, there's a chance a texture could be corrupted or something like that. What scenery programs do you have installed and what kind of FPS loss are you seeing? Noah Bryant
September 29, 201114 yr Author Actually, I have no sceneries installed yet.The loss I'm having seems like the graphics are 5 frames per second... But FSX is configured to 40 FPS...I know the airports sceneries are havier, but I spent a lot of money to buy a PC with this configuration... so I don't know what could be...
September 29, 201114 yr An i7 what? 3.46 gig is a pretty slow speed to expect high fps, fast graphic loading, good detail, etc.. Any i7 over 4.0 gig will give you FSX at almost "as real as it gets" and with not too many complaints. You have a top-notch gpu, but you're running it at idle.. But FSX is configured to 40 FPS. uh-huh.. no - your pc is allowing fsx to run at 40fps because you're in an area which needs not too much cpu power and has a very light gpu load.

September 29, 201114 yr Commercial Member So your FPS is dropping from 40 to 35? If so, that's completely normal and far better than a lot of people get. If it were dropping by half or more then I'd be concerned, but this is normal and to be expected. Also, most people see get better FPS from FSX by setting their target FPS at unlimited, then using an external FPS limiter. You could try that and you may not even see the 5FPS drop. Noah Bryant
September 29, 201114 yr I read it as, his drop is from 40FPS to a horrible 5FPS, rather than a 5 reduction?

September 29, 201114 yr The loss I'm having seems like the graphics are 5 frames per second... But FSX is configured to 40 FPS... To me the wording suggests that the poster does not know what actual FPS he is getting, but that it seems like 5 FPS. Mike Mann
