July 11, 201510 yr I know this may have been an issue for some in the past but I have searched high and low for this and have not been able to find any topics about this. I just recently been forced to move up to Win8.1 and got everything installed. Did all the tweeks I could find in the forums but when I try to load up the 737NXG it takes several minutes for the aircraft to load and then it's very choppy for about a minute. Not sure what I am missing. My specs are as follows: Windows 8.1 Intel Core I7-4770 @ 3.4GHz Nvidia Geforce 660 Ti 8G of Ram FSX installed on secondary 1TB HDD in D:\Microsoft Flight Simulator I'm not sure if other background processes are causing the problem or if there is anything I SHOULD have set in my fsx.cfg that I don't. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks Anthony Contino
July 11, 201510 yr Did you have this problem before you "did all the tweeks you could find"? Save your FSX.cfg file off somewhere, delete and let FSX recreate the fsx.cfg file. Do you still have the problems? Chris Smith
July 11, 201510 yr Author Yes, was having the same problems before doing any tweeks to the cfg file which is why I'm kind of stumped and wondering if there is something else somewhere I've missed that may be causing FSX to run so slow.
July 11, 201510 yr Maybe an add-on somewhere? Some have reported similar, although not the same, issues with anti-virus. If you have one running, disable it and try again Chris Smith
July 11, 201510 yr Author No difference. I'm running the following addons: Active Sky Next Ultimate Traffic II ORBX FSinn
July 12, 201510 yr Kill UTII and FSinn to see if that changes things. Also, be sure you have the HIGHMEMFIX setting in your cfg file per Introduction instructions. Dang shame you had to go to Win 8.1; hopefully, the free upgrade to Win 10 will get to you soon. Dan Downs KCRP
July 12, 201510 yr Author Ok, I finaly got it to load up, I had to uninstall FSCopilot and PMDG 777 to get there. It ran fine with a lot of stutters and then I reinstalled FSCopilot and 777 and still works, just need to tweek out these stutters. As for the HIGHMEMFIX, you are absolutely right, I do need to do that as I don't think I did. Just need to find the topic about that now. This is what happens when you take a vacation from the hobby for so long, you forget about all these tweeks.
