October 23, 201510 yr Hey Pilots! Maybe this is a well known hint, but for me it was new and I thought it is really worth it to post it here, maybe someone takes some Profit out of it. You can gain some fps when you just move your mouse cursor out of the screen when not needed. If you are flying in windowed mode you can move it over the upper bar of the window, if you have two monitors move it to the other screen. The results I heard of differ from 5fps to 30fps. And it seems that it have to do with the clickspots. They stay active when the mouse cursor is on the screen and deactivate when moved away. When active, they need resources. Funny but easy.

October 23, 201510 yr I thought the mouse cursor glitch had been solved with the latest patch? OTOH, I did buy my first ( in decades ) textures product for FSX. I use a weather injector since HiFiTech started producing it, now ASN, but the clouds are the default ones. Yesterday I decided to buy REX Soft Clouds, installed the DXT5 for one of the themes, and did notice a gain of 4+ fps ate least in many situations of dense weather :-) Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
October 23, 201510 yr Author I cant say about Steam version. I use the CD version and I think I have a small FPS gain. Klaus Schmitzer i7-14700KF 5.6GHz Water Cooled /// ZOTAC RTX 4070 TI Super 16GB /// 32GB RAM DDR5 /// Win11 /// SSDs only DCS - XP12 - MSFS2020
October 23, 201510 yr FSX Steam Edition has claimed to fix this in most instances. It's still there. At least for me. Jeff Thomson
