Recently rebuild my FSX.cfg file after installing FTX Global.

I have also updated Sweetfx config file to give better contrast.

I Also have SHADE that I sometimes run on startup (but not always)

 

Once FSX loads up (this takes the normal time), and airport and aircraft have been selected, my visuals are stunning and everything runs along fine - the problem is this;

 

Selecting an Airport now takes an exceedingly long time before I get control back of the pointer

Similarly with selecting an aircraft model.

 

Not quite sure what has happened to cause this and any pointers would be gratefully received

 

delete the shaders and allow a rebuild ? ( had already done this)

 

By the way, I have minimal tweaks in FSX.cfg. but it is set to unlimited within the sim and fixed at 30 FPS using Nvinspector

 

Have you tried to disable scenery that you don't use with SceneryConfigEditor? http://sourceforge.net/projects/fs-sceditor/

 

Actually, you should use it every time before you start FSX, to enable only that scenery you are going to use - 2 airports and maxim. 2 continents. This way you will minimize chances of OOM errors too.

 

Defragmentation can help too, if you are using HDD.

thanks for the input. I am not having OOM's relating to the slow selection of aircraft and airports just slow to load. and this has come on suddenly.

This is normal.

Make sure you have DisablePreload=1

Badfinger  - that was it !!

Forgot about that little tweak in the FSX.CFG

 

Thanks everyone for your help
