FOUND: Fix for fs9 atc stutters!

[ksan1 0]

   I have put up with a very annoying problem for years in which the air traffic controllers stutter a lot while flying ifr.  I used to just turn off the sound and used the written instructions.  Just recently while preparing to get a new black Friday computer I copied all my fs9 files to a flash drive.  I created a new folder on the flash drive called Program Files (x86) then inside that, a Microsoft Games folder , and then just copied the fs9 files into that.  Next I renamed the original file ( in the C: drive) fs91 so it would not be used.  To start the program I navigate in my flash drive to the fs9 folder, open it and double click on the fs9 application and to my amazement I suddenly got the sound.  That tells me the problem was not with the computer, memory, or hardware, but something else conflicting with it.  Hope this helps others with this problem.  Ksan1

Actually, it is the hardware: what you're seeing is a cheap version of the advantages of a SSD. The CPU gets faster access to the files in the thumb drive than in the hard disk.

 

Hope this helps.
