Hello all.

 

I've been configuring, tweaking, and playing around with FSX for the last couple weeks and after installing REX and ORBX PNW, the performance is good (30 FPS), but the constant microstutters are still distracting.

 

After using Bojote's tweaking tool, it's a little better. However, REX is what I believe causes the most stutters, especially right before and during weather injection. I've already changed a lot of settings and that doesn't cut it. I use "RejectThresholds" and "FFTF" is at 0.2.

 

My question is how can I separate Windows and REX from FSX, so the latter can at least have more breathing space and could this in fact work for this issue? After reading Word Not Allowed's guide, it seems that the "AffinityMask" tweak is only available for quad-core users, and us dual-core users are a little left out of the party...

 

I'm knowledgeable enough when it comes to hardware to conclude that dual-cores are much more sensitive to any other applications when running, and therefore they are more vulnerable to stutters than quad-cores in the sim.

 

My specs are on the side. Thank you to anyone who helps me have a more fluid experience.

You don't want to do that, FSX will run considerably worse on only one core.

Thanks for the reply. After looking at task manager, I saw that both cores are distributing the work evenly, to my surprise.

 

So, since that isn't the problem, what else might cause microstutters?
