BEST EVER TIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[G7USL 117]

Guys, got to share this with you.This has tripled my FPS in FSX!!!!!!Tips for a faster PC No. 1.Windows XP runs animations for certain events, such as minimising windows, which can cause slowdowns. Right-click on the desktop, select Properties and go to the Appearance tab. Click effects and clear any tick boxes to disable this feature.Amazing or, what eh?

[Guest kd001]

You can do the same in Vista too.

No offense taken, I didn't know about it.It's all a learning curve I suppose :-):-spacecraft

I know... I've been in IT for 35 years, Dave and it's impossible to keep up with the changes. You have to specialize in a particular skill - like Oracle, as a DBA, and even then you need to take course after course to keep up. I reckon 18 months is as long as any application lasts, a bit longer for the Windows operating system and maybe five years for any particular flavour of Unix. Linux seems to change by the minute. Look at how fast hardware has moved in that time.

For a paused saved flight I have in FSX:With animations on - 29 FPS With animations off - 29 FPSNo tripling of FPS for me I'm afraid. Not even a change.Gary

How do you do this in Vista Home ?

[spilok 1,133]

Yes...the Vista desktop does NOT show me these same commands!Stan

[Guest Phil75070]

Start menu....right click on computer and select properties. Choose advanced system settings. On the advanced tab, click on the settings button in the performance section.

Stop dreaming. It does nothing.

Mods, surely Mr Wingnut with his ongoing history of negativity must be No 1 for departure from the AVSIM forums by now?Gary

[Paul J 349]

Are you talking windowed or full screen mode, Dave?

[Guest YukonPete]

Does not do a thing!

>Stop dreaming. It does nothing.Apparently it did do something for the guy that did it.
