Last night I did a wipe and reinstall of Windows 7 SP1 and MS-FSX. I then added FTX Global and ORBX Trees and set my sliders to the FTX Global recommendations, which are mostly maxed with a few exceptions. 

 

Frames set to unlimited.  No other modifications to fsx.cfg.

 

First flight; over Friday Harbor in the Trike.   Frame rate is 175+ and outside the trike it looks pretty darn good

 

I don't think that I've ever seen frame rates like that on my machine.   I doubt they will remain once I kick in REX, ASN, etc., but it is fun while it lasts. :smile:

 

 

Your OP reads much like the first paragraph on page 2 of the AVSIM FSX Configuration Guide (see link in my signature)! :smile:  Then you start adding addons and tweaks.  Things go down hill fast!

 

Best regards,

Meh... not uncommon under those circumstances with a decent machine.

 

Wait until you're in a thunderstorm with settings at max, strong anti-alias settings in Nvidia inspector, taxing on the ground at a large add-on for Heathrow with all settings at max including AI during "rush hour" and with a PMDG 777... have fun!

Install the pmdg 777 then install either Aerosoft egll or uk2000. Then you'll see

Your just mean!   Don't forget to set AI to 100%

Must remember to tick shadows

I can relate to that. Fresh install of both the OS and FSX. Framerate at 3W5 on Rwy 7 shows 208 FPS. Add ORBX global - 202 FPS. Add ORBX Vector - 163 FPS. Add ORBX PNW and 3W5 - 97 FPS. Add ASN 65 - FPS. Add Turbo Duke with GTN 750 - 45 FPS. Are we having fun yet?.........
