Boshar -Maybe this will help. Please see my post -"FSX Demo2 - Performance around 25 FPS"http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...ing_type=searchSince you're also running the Demo2 version, see if anything that I've posted in the above thread can help.Then, add in Matt's Autogen tweaks, some of JeanLuc's suggestions, and see if Demo2 runs better for you.JerryG
