Ryan, 

you're completely right, when the mouse appears on the screen there's 5 fps drop! when pressing alt and leaving the mouse up there it instantly increase to 30 fps.

but my question is how can i make the mouse disappear after certain time so i don't need to press alt and move the mouse up every time? he won't disappear if not touching. cheers!

Daniel,

 

On my system if I don't touch the mouse after a few seconds in FSX it disappears on its own. To my knowlege this is part of FSX, not something you can enable/disable. I certainly didn't do anything to make that work here. I wonder if there's some small amount of jitter in your mouse's position (like the cursor position is rapidly moving back and forth by a tiny amount somehow) and that keeps it from ever disappearing. Try picking the mouse up into the air and hold it there - if it goes away after doing that that's probably a good sign that the sensor isn't tracking the surface very well and might be jittering.

or it can still move if you have dust in front of it or the sensor is loose (like i had 2 times with my logitech G500 -> now switched to G400 and everything is fine).

 

anyway, you might also take a look at this (its how i have my fsx settings controlled via the nvidia display driver, check the bold settings):

 

 

and in case you are someone who regularly updates his nvidia driver.. try to remove it, reboot, find some kinda driver cleaner, remove obsolete files, reboot, install newest nvidia driver.

 

i had a screwed up nvidia driver and very low frames sometimes. after i did that, frames went up again.

i'll try that today Ryan, thanks very much for your help much appreciated!

Ryan i've found the problem, if i fly on full screen with FSINN open the mouse cursor won't disappear. i flying in windowd mode, or closing it he will. cheers! thanks so much for your help.

Just a btw.  This is now happening to me on the 777-200 LR.  I was at Dallas, planning a flight to Honolulu.  When I set up the etops rings on the ND I noticed that when in the flightdeck my fps dropped and movement was stuttering.  Removed the etops rings and smooth as silk.

 

I also noticed that the range that the display was set to also had an impact.  If I set the display to 10nm the hit on fps and the stuttering was the worst.  160 and up there was negligible impact.

 

I'm using an nVidia 680GTX (well 2 in SLi mode but FSX oesn't use SLi).

-ooo-

+1 BOEING 777

 

This fix page makes my fps drop 10-15fps.And i also see a drop with greater nm area. Nothing new though. Happened from day one and also with the NGX

Hmm this has never happened to me. Might be isolated

I myself never had this issue as i would fly a pattern and would have 5 nm and 10nm rings with a radial on vor at the airport..
