After giving Windows 10 a go, I decided to do a clean install of 7. Redid my overclock and installed 3.3.5. So far, I've only added REX 4, FTX Global, Toposim and UTX2. Currently have 30 frames locked with Vsync on and the smoothness is stunning. Not even a hint of a micro stutter. I have a 3820k @4.6 and a 4GB GTX 760. I'm considering leaving the ORBX regions, MyTraffic, high detail airports, non GA aircraft and add-on ATC out of this install as it's just too perfect to mess up! So I'll fire up the A2A 182 or the Duke with the GTN 750 and fly between all those small FTX global airports on Pilotedge or Vatsim and go through all the ratings. Anyone wonder how long I can hold out before I throw in an FSDT airport in an ORBX region, load up a PMDG and fire up Pilot2ATC?

Wonder if you had done a clean install of Win10v1511, with the same load up as stated, what the results would be....too many variables in my mind that it's comparing apples to ...err...plums

Like me, if your are flying into smaller GA airports with those GA type aircraft why would you need FSDT airports?  For better eye candy when you are flying over them?   That's what I found I was doing. I have a ton of Megascenery and MSE2 Ultrares cities and get great visuals and not much resource drain at altitude.  I do still use SunSkyJet's KPHL Philadelphia International, Blueprint's KIND Indianapolis,  and LatinVFR's Orange County, Ca. because I still fly into them.  I also have Taxi2Gate's KSTL St Louis because I fly over it at lower altitudes when flying into KSUS St Louis Spirit, Imagine's KMCI Kansas City Intl, as I fly over it at low altitudes when approaching KMKC Kansas City Downtown/Wheeler from the north, and Imagine's KDEN Denver Intl as it is so close to an approach I shoot into KAPA Denver Centennial.
