Hi fellow simmers,I recently downloaded and installed SP1 in the hope of improving FSX performance on my machine. At first I was not happy since I seemed to be getting about 12 fps everywhere even with all the scenery turned off. I think I solved my problem by turning off the vertical sync option in my display driver settings. You might want to try this too.I did this and I am getting much better framerates especially away from the airport with dense autogen and normal scenery complexity. It appears that the custom buildings at the airports really reduce framerates. I have to turn off commercial traffic to get my frames in the 20s when at an airport with these settings. Also, for those with slower PC's stay away for Garmin 1000 equipped aircraft.Does anyone know how to get smaller textures for the airport buildings? Also, does project ai work with FSX?With dense autogen and normal scenery complexity away from the airport, I can maintain 31 fps. My specsAthlon 64 3800,2 gigs ramGeForce 6800 SLIAudigy 2 The only modification I have with my installation is that I have deactivated the default.xml file under autogen by changing the name.I hope the tip helps. I know it can be really frustrating, but keep trying, keep your cool and dont rush out for new hardware too quickly.Remember $4000 is a substantial about of dough (a substantial portion of a PPL)..Also to all those who are getting good frames, if you can think of anything please try to provide some advice so that others can enjoy this beautiful hobby.Good luckKabs

Project AI can work for FSX, but it needs some serious manipulation to make it right. Aside from the moving of folder from the Aircraft folder to the SimObjectsAirplanes folder, you also need to change the "alias" in the sound configs for each of the aircraft or you get no sound. Also, the flightplans need to be updated/converted for FSX. I use the utility that came with world-of-ai's installer called "FS9_FSX_FPS" (I think) to correct for changed airport codes and for the Sunday/Monday day change. Lastly, you need to trick the Project AI installer to think your FSX folder is a FS9 folder. i think that was easy but I cannot remember.

How did you find that file?
