Screen Freezes for 5-30 seconds

[Steff3 0]

I have just installed the PMDG 777, and when I am flying the screen keeps freezing for several seconds and than it starts up again and than freezes for several seconds etc. I am getting frame rates of 20-23 which is OK. I am running windows 10 with FSE-SE.

ANy help would be appreciated.

 

Thank you.............Steff

Steff, please note the forum rules that require full names on all posts.

Are the events occurring every minute or every hour? What else are you running as an addon to FSXSE?  Are you using FSUIPC?  Are you using FSUIPC autosave? Do you use Windows Defender or any AV program?  Just guessing without knowing more.

Also make sure you have the correct Microsoft Visuals installed.

I've experienced that each time I did a new install, and that is, in most part, a tweaking thing.

It takes time to find the possible sweet spot by configuring your fsx.cfg file. FSUIPC autosave, Anti virus, and your system capabilities play part in this as well.

Make sure that you experiment with the Affinity Mask entry in your CFG file. I've set mine in order to resolve the freezing issue:

[JOBSCHEDULER]
AffinityMask=84

Do a google search on how to determine the affinity mask for your processor.

Hope this helps.

FSUIPC autosave is the culprit for me
