October 9, 201114 yr Hello, I know it's been discussed before. And the problem could be quite annoying. At Aerosoft Schiphol (my home and favourite airport), I'm getting around 18-20 fps while the mouse cursor is displayed, and around 23 fps when it is not displayed. PMDG claims that the performance is equal or even better than the MD11. This is not true for me because I'm getting over 25 fps in the MD11 at Aerosoft Schiphol. If I want the NGX to come a little close, the mouse cursor must not be displayed. I know PMDG probably know about this, but I was wondering, are you looking into this and is this fixed for SP1? Because I'm not reading anything anymore from you about this issue.Thanks in advance, Arjen Vandervelde
October 9, 201114 yr Commercial Member This is an FSX issue, it's a problem in other high end planes as well. http://forum.avsim.net/topic/344186-mouse-fps-issue/page__hl__cursor+fps__fromsearch__1 Noah Bryant
October 9, 201114 yr Best way around this (for me) is run in windows mode with task bar on auto-hide, program as many functions as you can to your controllers and bury the mouse pointer at the top of the window. Saves me 5fps for almost all my flight. Rick Hobbs
October 10, 201114 yr PMDG already said they tried to minimize it as best they could.They've done everything they can...according to what they stated. What more do you want them to do if you already knew that? AJ Pongress
October 10, 201114 yr Interesting how tolerant everyone seems to be over this issue considering the uproar and criticism that was made when a certain other 737 was seen to suffer from this problem... David Porrett
October 10, 201114 yr Interesting how tolerant everyone seems to be over this issue considering the uproar and criticism that was made when a certain other 737 was seen to suffer from this problem... Well ... some people just don't have that issue or the issue is very minor compared to other annoyances.And yes, I did fly "the other 737" before the NGX came out. Dave P. Woycek
October 10, 201114 yr Interesting how tolerant everyone seems to be over this issue considering the uproar and criticism that was made when a certain other 737 was seen to suffer from this problem... +1
October 10, 201114 yr I'm one of those who don't have this issue at all (even with the iFly I didn't have it)... So... Best regards, Fritz ESSONO
October 10, 201114 yr Maybe experience makes you more tolerant, in the iFly, we didn't know it was an FSX issue. Now that we do know it's out of developers' control,there's no point in getting upset about it :) Jude BradleyBeech Baron: Uh, Tower, verify you want me to taxi in front of the 747?ATC: Yeah, it's OK.

October 10, 201114 yr The real issue here is Microsoft that continues to sell FSX and doesn't offer any support after closing Aces studios. Really I'm never accusing PMDG for issues related to their products because I know very well they have to deal with a programming sh*t which is FSX. Actually, for these issues, there's absolutely no support for us legal FSX license owners. It's a point I would take into consideration. Sebastiano Piscitello Air France VA, KLM 737 Captain
October 10, 201114 yr hi This is a problem of windows in general and not the simulator, if you run an application that uses many resources of the PC happens. Try to watch a video in HD by hovering over the mouse pointer is a drop in performance as it does in the simulator
October 10, 201114 yr iFly performed way worse than NGX on my rig, not to mention I didn't have the half of addons I use with NGX installed. Dmitrij Nazarenko
October 10, 201114 yr If some get it [i do] and some don't, then it's system specific. Therefore it would be nice to track down the variables that generate this anomaly. It knocks my frame rate in half. And thats with a powerful overclocked system.
October 10, 201114 yr I'm one of those who don't have this issue at all (even with the iFly I didn't have it)... So... That's probably due to i7 [email protected]. Tomaz Drnovsek My FSX Videos My AVSIM Gallery
