Yes it was solved-I hope you will stay.I admitted I overreacted, and hopefully that will be accepted.I am not a stickler for details in general but certain events in the past few days plus having a bad day made me trigger happy.Hopefully I have somewhat undone the damage I did by jumping.Thanks,Geofhttp://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/1b5baf...b9f427f694g.jpgMy blog:http://geofageofa.spaces.live.com/

I'm sorry, but if it's 12 FPS over the runway, landing with that jerkiness just doesn't work for me. If it works for you, great. Over the threshold, I'd settle for higher frames, smoother flight, and less detail. It can be 12 when I'm taxiing, who cares, but less than 20 FPS for landing is sub-par.Keep an eye on FTX/Orbyx.....My best FSX experiences are over their scenery....airliners, GA....I think it does represent the future....IMHO,http://www.my-buddy-icon.com/Icons/objects/red_3d_plane.gifAlex ChristoffN562ZBaltimore, MD

Well I fixed my problem. (sort of). I re-installed St. Maarten Complete without the custom water class, birds and dolphins, extra boats and ships and vehicle traffic. Why the designer didn't use fsx default vehicle and waterborne trafic around the airports, I don't know. Only gained 5-6 fps on runway at St. Maarten, but went back up to 30+ fps once in air, using Vdense autogen. Noticed that the airport at St Maarten doesn't use pop up autogen like every other object in FSX. The only other product that I have seen that uses fixed land autogen is Venice X. Fixed autogen takes larger fps hit than pop up autogen it seems. Still something about the runway that FSX does not like. At least its better now. Thanks for the offer. Will

There you have it folks! A complete admission! All though there is some remaining suspicion of kickbacks over the missing Intel/AMD/ATI/Nvidia file....yeah someone broke into the office last night....the investigation continues...(Sounds like a great ending while it leaves the door open to a sequel)
