I find Nick Needham's guide, and generally recommended Nvidia Inspector settings, pretty aggressive actually; I'd be careful to not even go that far.

 

FSX is most stable and happy when the configuration is the most conservative. Start there and limit your optimizations to gradual improvements, a step at a time.

Huh?  He hardly uses any tweaks.  They are extremely conservative.  His settings are low in comparison to a guide done by Word Not Allowed.  With current high-powered computer systems, you really don't need to tweak at all.  Maybe just change a setting or two.

Hey Jim, maybe you can help out but I ran into another problem, When I am in fullscreen mode, the screen turns all black for a second or 2 then I can see the scenery loading screen that says 100 percent. My outer 2 monitors show my desktop. This happens everytime I switch my view or load a menu. Thanks for any help

I have two monitors connected to one GTX 780 and that's exactly what happens with mine.  Multi-monitor setups are not more forte'.  Check down in the AVSIM Hardware/Monitor Forum and see if you can find a solution there.  If not, I would post the question down there where the real experts hang out.

I love when someone says "just" unistall and reinstall FSX!  Sure,  ok.  I'll do that tonight between 8-9.  In reality it takes me about 2-3 days to unistall FSX and alll the addons.  This is not a real solution it's a final solution when nothing else works (ie OS crashes).  I mean you can't just unistall FSX proper and reinstall and have all addons working can you?

FSUIPC "Keep FS Clock sync'd" can cause this. It can also cause a pause in the sim.

I know exactly what you are saying.  I try to avoid that advice as much as possible.  Sometimes though, it takes just as long to investigate the cause of the crash.  It is rare when there is a known cause for a crash.  Every system is different.  Everyone's knowledge of computers is different.  Now we have high-powered systems that are overclocked which brings in even more problems.  For instance, did you know that a poor Power Supply in your computer can bring down FSX?  This might be why some crashes occur occasionally.  The power supply may work great for a few sessions then fail in others.  This is just one example one must put up with when he/she gets a crash in FSX.  Sometimes it's just easier to purchase a new system or reinstall Windows and FSX.

 

The one suggestion I hate the most in this forum or anywhere on the Internet when looking for a solution to a problem is "Go to Google and find your solution".  I try to do that for others in trouble and provide my findings here.  Not every AVSIM member is computer literate.

And of course you could check for malware/addware ect. I clicked on a naughty site this one time by accident and days later FSX paused every 10 seconds or so hmmmmmmm

lol, thats not the culprit =) I checked the time clock sync, wasnt enable, I disabled it and problem still persists. I changed the multimonitor performance in nvidia inspector also still exists.. The problem is just annoying. After I loaded the fsuipc settings, When I closed it now when I change views now the fsuipc settings window is loaded instead of the fsx loading window.
