November 5, 201114 yr Even on a good i7 laptop, I have had many stutters and pauses in the past....not anymore! due to the great performance manager that pmdg released, I have been running the lower res options for the displays, and eventhough they look a little bit less nice, they are smoother, I have boosted their perf. up on the FMS and now have enabled the FO displays when for when I want to play copilot.....I now can fly most areas with 30 locked by antilag (my new favorite) in the VC.And by the way... a little tip... getting rid of ALL the tweaks ever made, and just running FSX based on a default config has really helped me out!

November 5, 201114 yr The lower res textures gave me 2 more fps.. But I noticed that most of thatcame from the gauges.. So I run the high res cockpit textures, but only the lowres gauge textures. Not much change in looks, but I still get about 2 more fps.I assume a tad lower memory load too.. Mark Keith
November 5, 201114 yr Uh, no. I want more detail and I'm running high res with all sliders to right. John Shlofrock KORD Intel Xeon X 5460 3.16 GHZ (quad core) 8.00 GB RAM Nvidia Quadro FX 5600 1.5 GB HP w2408 24" monitor Vista Business 64 bit
November 5, 201114 yr Yeah it is smoother, but looks like crap.lol "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return." Leonardo da Vinci
