Oh, I just tried the new air file and it is just perfect. You can now fly off the runway hands off.Michael J.WinXP-Home,AMD64 3500+,Abit AV8, Radeon X800 Pro,WD 36GB Raptor,1 GB PC3200 http://www.reality-xp.com/community/nr/rsc/rxp-higher.jpg

I would like any assistance regarding frame rates and this otherwise great product. I've been a little dismayed at the amount of stuttering. I don't have the top of the line machine (AMD 2600, 1 Gig of DDR RAM, GeForce FX5700 Ultra Video Card with updated drivers and anti-alias and anisotropic filters set at only 2X) but I think it should render this a little smoother. Even with my display sliders at 50%, AI traffic at 0%, and the VC at the lower setting my frame-rates stutter between 30-40's and 15-16 every few milliseconds. 30's-40's would be great but it's the frequent 15's that chop it up. It's worse in the 2D cockpit. It's almost like something's running in the background but when I switch to a default plane or the RealAir 172, with the "Friendly Panel" substituted, my rates are steady in the 30's - 40's with the same settings. I've even edited the mainpanel file in PhotoShop to lower it's size but to no avail. It seems to be the detailed instruments that are hurting me. (Even pressing "W" to only show the instruments is choppy). Do I simply need a Pro Video Card and/or a faster processor? Would love any input. I would love to make this my C172 of choice but it's too choppy right now.Thanks!
