Looks good! Is the NASA selling Computers for FSX use? :wink:

Nice shots! Did you do a flapless takeoff? I thought that's a Fokker-phenomena

I deinstalled P3D and FSX:SE and went back to FSX Boxed Edition. Now everything runs smooth...too bad that i would like to play P3D What are P3D and FSX Steam doing different that they produce thist stuttering?

Thanks for your reply but limiting it to 30 FPS makes stuttering even worse. EDIT: The stuttering/pause problem applies to FSX:SE as well. Tom

Hey folks! I recently made the change from FSX to P3D and i have a quite stuttery P3D with steady FPS at 60 on a 120 Hz Monitor. Flying and panning around is really jerky and the sim is not enjoyable for me. I have observed, that the stutters go away as soon as is press P and pause the sim. Everything smoothens up then. Repressing P gives me stutters again. Has anybody experienced this? Or has a clue on this? My specs: I7-3820 @ 4.5 Ghz Asus X79 Sabertooth Nvidia GTX970 16 GB RAM Win 7 P3D is freshly installed and untweaked except Optimize Parts =1 I lowered all Graphics, tried different vSynch and Refreshrate options as well as different ways of limiting the Framerate. Nothing helped so far. Quite similar problem with FSX:SE which never had any problems before. So...many thanks in advance! Tom

You will not regret the Changeover i think. Despite the Problems i still have, i can see how much smoother and faster P3D runs. I just have to get rid of my stuttering issue and i'll be the happiest of simmers.

Hey! I did the change few days ago and have nothing but problems. Stuttering all over the place while having steady Frames of 60. Seems to be a vSynch problem here. Maybe i have to get a new Monitor with better refreshrate than 60Hz. Dont get me wrong. The Sim seems to be great and very smooth. Or it would be without the microstuttering. Regards, Tom

Hello everyone! I recently got several GA planes from Carenado (Rockwell Commander, Beech Baron and Cessna 340). With all of those plane i get uncontrollable RPMs at higher altitudes. Means that RPM starts to rise at a certain Altitude (usually around FL100 to 150) and i am only able to change RPM via Manifold pressure settings. Searching the web i came across this forum http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/constant-speed-recip-uncontrollable-rpm-at-high-speed.325361/ but unfortunately the thread was not continued at some point... So maybe one of the tech-guys has found a solution for this? Best regards, Tom

I recently had a similar problem which i was able to solve by finding out the right balance between Affinity Mask and Bufferpools/reject threshold setting. Below is how i set mine and it is working very well. Give it a try! [JOBSCHEDULER] AffinityMask=84 -------------------------------------------------------------- [bUFFERPOOLS] Usepools=1 Poolsize=0 RejectThreshold=102400 Tom

I'm talking about Autoflying. And i'm pretty sure this can be influenced somehow by editing the Aircraft.cfg or the .AIR file but i don't know which entries to edit! Tom

Ok, here is what i observe: Flying level at a constant speed gives me a specific pitch situation. Lets say 5 degrees nose up. Starting/Flying a turn leads to a loss of lift so the pilot/autopilot needs to pitch up to maintain altitude. I hope i am right so far... @G550: I think we were talking about the same thing but i did'nt express the right way...sry for that! So i would like to reduce the mentioned effect because in my opinion it is too much... Best regards, Tom

Hey guys! Just a simple question today for the techfreaks out there... How can i reduce the fact that an aircraft pitches up while flying a turn? I know that its the way a real aircraft behaves. But in my specific case i would like to reduce this effect cause i think it is modelled a bit too exaggerated... Is there a way to modify the .AIR file (airplane dynamics) that way? Thanks in advance! Tom

@retard ( ) That didn't help at all But thanks anyway! I settled down with AM=84, Usepools=1, Poolsize=0 and RejectThreshold=102400 and for some reason all problems are gone... I'm pretty sure i had that configuration before without any success... But i will do as Confucius said: "As long as it's stutter free, enjoy as long as you can!" Lets see how long it lasts this time! Tom

thanks minimums! FSX never fails to surprise me! But i feel like spending more time fiddling around with its odd behaviours than actually be flying the sim.

First, thanks very much for your replies! The AM 80 setting was with HT enabled...i should have mentioned that. sorry! I used to get 60 FPS in all kind of flight stages with all kinds of weather! Thats why im so shocked to have stutters again after it was running smooth for weeks. As far as i know i didn't change anything to my system. Traffic and Autogen is set to zero at the moment. FSX Professional Edition. And it was 16 GB of RAM indeed... Thanks so far! The testing goes on! Tom Ps.: Its very strange/annoying how FSX can run butter smooth for quite a long time and then all of a sudden it starts to stutter again without changes being made.... :mad:

Hey community! I'm in need of a little help... I'm fiddling with my fsx.cfg for quite a time now and it seems im stuck right now... The major problem is not the FPS but the stutters i get with the different Affinity Mask settings. First of all my System: i7-3820 OC'd to 4.5 Ghz GTX970 16mb RAM FSX running on a separate SSD. Win 7 Hyperthreading is OFF Only Highmenfix, Bufferpools/Reject Threshold and Affinity Mask tweaks applied. I am currently running FSX at 60 FPS (No Autogen/3rd party Scenery), only Majestics Q400 and FTX Global and Active Sky installed. I think i have tested every AM setting that is mentioned on the Net...starting at 14, 16, 63, 64, 80, 82, 84....252, 254 and so on.... 80 seemed to be a good deal but giving me stutters after some time. The rest gave me stutters right from the start. Removing the AM tweak completely seemed to work quite well but with the last update of ASN it's asking me to add AM to my fsx.cfg on every startup. In addition to that FSX starts to stutter again as soon as ASN is running. Using different FPS Limiter didn't change anything... So please...maybe anyone of the techfreaks out there has a clue how to get rid of those terrible stutters? Best regards, Tom

Great! I especially like the part with the church! Best regards, Tom

@pugilist: I'd like to check the Airsimmer320 but i haven't found an online shop who still sales it. Hav you got a clue where to get it? Regards, Tom

Right. I'm planning to switch over to P3D in the future.

That is what i just did a few minutes ago... In addition to that reverting back to an older ASN Version seems to imrove things a bit.

Yes, i have it set to 252 which, if i'm right, sets FSX off the first two cores... I just realised that running ASN makes things worse which is strange because i never had this Problem before.

Sorry for that!

Hey guys! I am currently struggling with microstutters...every few seconds my frames drop from 60FPS to about 30-40 for a splitsecond which is giving me a very annoying effect of stutters. I recently upgraded my GPU to a MSI GTX970 Gaming 4G and it gives great over all performance. Nontheless i just saw that running FSX, Majestic Q400 or PMDG 747 with Active Sky Next only uses about 15-20 percent CPU load which seems very low to me... I used to think that FSX eats CPU.... Is there a way to raise that CPU load and maybe get a more smooth sim? Maybe some of the Tech-Gurus out there have a clue? Best regards, Tom

Ok. I thought there was one specific type of license for flight simmers as we are... I'll have to read through their forum then...

Yeah...sorry for the inconvenience...
