How do I know if my orbx is working.

Also, my saitek pro flight throttles jump from 0 x axis, to halfway, then move freely. What do I do to fix this?

Also, what Is a good null zone and sensitivity for the pro flight pedals, yoke, and quadrant?

Last Question, I have a good pc, AMD Ryzen 7 1700x, 16gb ram, etc, ssd, but I get lag, stutters, and fps drops. How do I reduce this? I've heard turning off traffic helps.

Do you have Windows 10 installed?

Suggest you read the AVSIM FSX Configuration Guide, link in my signature.  You will get lag, stutters, the blurries, and fps drops if your display driver and fsx.cfg settings are set too high if you have any addons.  You should not be seeing this if you just have a default setup with no scenery or aircraft addons.  In default setup, with your system, you should be seeing 200 or more fps.  When you add an addon, things go downhill from there.

Go to fsx menu, World, Scenery Library and disable the Orbx scenery in the area where the scenery is located.  Click okay.  See the difference?  If you have that Global Vector stuff, then I doubt you will ever know other than the fact it is better than the default.  What Orbx scenery do you have installed?  I would suspect you can turn it on or off via FTX Central?

There is actually a topic in their forums with comparison screenshots for the user to understand if they have Orbx installed properly or not.I think you have to register to be able to see that topic.

I have ORBX Ftx Global Base and North America. My saitek yoke only moves 3 degrees right and left on the pmdg 737 yoke, and barely moves at no null zones and max sensitivity. Please help with that

Recommend you check out the AVSIM Saitek Yoke and other Joysticks Forum - https://www.avsim.com/forums/forum/328-hardware-controllers-joysticks-drivers/.  Certainly our members have a lot of experience with this Yoke.

Last thing, I hear the windows chime every few seconds in the background. How to fix?

The Windows chime is the FSUIPC utility telling you that you are about to run out of Virtual Address Space (VAS).  Microsoft Windows only gives us up to 4GB's for 32-bit applications like P3D 3.2 and below, FSX, FSX-SE.  You won't hear it if you have P3DV4 installed or X-Plane as they are 64 bit applications and Windows gives you up to 8 terebytes of VAS.  AVSIM CTD Guide has more info on OOM's (see causes in the back of the manual).  It is impossible to stop getting OOM's but you can reduce your chances by reducing your display and FSX settings.

Ah. The config was too much and caused memory errors.
