Hi All,I have a problem when changing views in FSX. When I switch views, particularly from an external view to the VC, the sim freezes for about 30 or 40 seconds before the textures load. This usually happens, but not always. It effects all aircraft and locations.Other than this I get good frame rates in most situations.I have installed SP1 but not SP2.Can anyone help?My system specs are...Gigabyte S series motherboardAMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ 2.61 ghz2 gb DDR2 RAMNVIDIA GeForce 8800GTS 320 mb Windows XP ProfessionalSoundblaster LiveFS9 also runs on this system beautifully, all settings maxed and no problems at all.Cheers, Mark.

>Soundblaster LiveI had a similar freezing with my SB Live(with WinXP's default driver). WinXP's old sound driver causes the problem, I think. A Update sound driver may help you. I got one from soundblaster's website, and freezing was gone with updated driver! Kim

Hi Kim,Thanks for the tip. Updated the driver and problem solved.Cheers, Mark.
