This thread is completely subjective. I've seen peoples rigs that say they get amazing performance with high and stable FPS in FSX yet when I see it run in person it may run great, but inside you quietly think "eww, that's borderline hideous". There are so many variables that it's nearly impossible accurately compare results.

With UK2000 Heathrow and the NGX I get 21FPS with all sliders on 85-100%. I have as follows:

• Intel Core 2 Quad
• NVIDIA GeForce 330GT
• 1TB HDD
• 8GB RAM

Who needs Sandybridge when I get those FPS on Yorkfield? I am actually surprised at how smooth it runs!Aaron G.

Running the VC or 2D and what resolution is your monitor(s)?Bert Van Bulck

Wow amazing. With the sliders on 3/4, Rex textures (none HD) and ASE, Nothing more the 15fps on EHAM (aerosoft) .I did use Bojoto's tweaks.Any suggestions ?

Euh, his CPU is running 2GHz faster then yours. That's your way to go.Bert Van Bulck

AMD Phenom II X4 970BE (3.5 GHz stock)1 Gb AMD 6790Win 7 Pro 64-bitFSX Acceleration @ 1600x1200I get 40-60 FPS with the NGX under most conditions.

Get rid of the tweaks except for HIGHMEMFIX=1.Best regards,Robin.

VC with a s if 1980x1080 with no AI and water effects of High 1x.Aaron G.

Before you get too depressed, have you asked how this is achieved? When you find out, please let me know.Regards from a guy with pretty decent specs too.

I´ll get into that never ending thingy again.And to all the ones above with great performance: What settings do you have?

I shut off the FPS and have stopped worrying about it. As long as it run smooth and not like a slide show I'm good.I think to many people get all messed up if their fps is to "low" and start looking for a quick fix.Which can lead to more frustration. If it runs smooth than it's all good.

couldnt agree with you more on this

i get around 25-30 fps on the ground at EGBB (UK2000 scenery), which is fantastic for an aircraft thats this complex. Very very happy with its performance so FPS is meaningless really. I would not fly any other airliner =)

does anyone noticed, that aerosoft airport are frame killers?

Well, Aerosoft do huge airports in outstanding detail so it is obvious that they will eat FPS. It isn't easy to do a highly detailed airport which is big without loosing FPS. They are actually FPS lite considering the detail and size of some airports but you need powerful hardware to do them justice.Aaron G.

Totally agree. One persons smooth is another persons stutters..I'm bored with FPS hunting now. I just want consistent smooth not just 60FPS at cruise :)Also, I'm not sure I buy the "I get 50-70FPS at all airports" line..If it isn't in a video, it didn't happen :( And we can all drop our sliders to get max FPS when Fraps'ing :DI get 2000FPS even at Heathrow 2000 (I don't even own it LOL)I do get 25FPS inside the NGX cockpit at the few payware airports I have (FSDreamTeam airports, mostly), and also at YBAS and all other ORBX scenery..This will usually drop to betwen 16-25 outside the AC.When above FL10 I get about 60. I have all sliders set to max except autogen, which I move to dense over heavy scenery (and back again to very dense in crz), and water, which is 2x Low. I use ASE2012 and RC4 (which is a CPU hogger, as is ASE)My specs are below, but I'm just changing to a 3930K and an ASUS Rampage Xtreme IV so presumably I too will be getting 70-150FPS all day long ;)bestjake

Completely right! I once thought of removing the FPS-display by editing the cfg. ...

One important thing you guys are leaving out when talking about your FPS. Whether or not your using the Virtual Cockpit or Not. The difference in FPS between Virtual Cockpit and 2D-Panel is Huge!

Agreed, Paul..literally about 50FPS on my system, but I just can't do that 2d thing...bestjake

Hi.My frame rates are 10-21, very rarely 30, average around 17fps. How can I improve it? I use nvidia inspector and settings as posted in one pf the topics here. Thanks.
