Hi everybody! I reproaching this question in comparison to last time. I got FTS Global sometime early to mid April. I must say, really impressed by the amount of autogen drawn, and how everything follows patterns and there are more trees, and even individual light orbs! But I quickly realized I was encountering an issue when I started to see the scenery. My FPS dropped from my average 20-25, all the way to somewhere around 12 or lower. For me... this soon got unbearable. This is where my two part question comes in (or three parts, depending on how you look at it):

 

1.) Could I have installed incorrectly? I heard there was no FPS drop whatsoever... but looks like I heard wrong. If I did install correctly, do you think it's just my computer? (view system specs below).

 

2.) When I could no longer take the lag, I decided to uninstall. I think some sort of error occurred while this process occurred because the FTX app opened by itself (or I left it open) causing an interruption in the uninstall... and subsequently leaving bits and pieces of FTX in FSX. So, here's question number two/three:

 

How can I uninstall FTX manually? I tried doing this, going through FSX effects and texture folders, deleting a good amount of files, but not deleting the bits still. Ugh. I'm tired of know my FSX is fragmented, and I'm tired of seeing some odd scenery textures when FTX should be uninstalled.

 

 

Maybe I'll just reinstall FSX completely [and get a new computer] - but wouldn't we all want that.

 

 

Anyway... here are my system specs, at least, as much as I could find and offer:

 

CPU: Intel i7 quad core 2.67GHz

Graphics Card: NVIDIA NVS 3100

OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

RAM: 8gb (7.86 usable)

 

FSX Acceleration/Gold (already flagged Large Address Aware).

 

 

Thanks

First thing is you CPU is a little underpowered, which is why so many overclock. For FSX to really start to shine you need 4 gig and above. As for uninstalling global go to orbx and ask there, they will help if you ask nicely, you could also turn the scenery sliders down to reduce autogen.

This is an automatic message.

Thanks AVSIM Admin....

But anyway, mjrhealth. I know my CPU is underpowered (and yes, it does seem like a low number), but are you positive that my CPU is the root cause. Actually, it is probably the root cause. However, I'm not really willing to overclock just yet, that is until I either gain more overclocking confidence, and/or until I have another computer lined up... hopefully one with a powerful CPU and GPU . Also, I'll try to contact ORBX.

 

Thanks.
