My FSX install is corrupt - I have no way to install it, no activation key so I limp along and need to restart every 30 minutes. When my SSD dies it will be all over. But I'll be hanged if I have to use P3D. LOL jja

The point being if it ain't broke now it will be. Regards jja

I always smile when I see threads that promote living in the past. Not an option with technology. Cheers jja

I haven't seen many systems that can go above 4.6 without complaining. 4.6 is a vg clock if your temps stay inbounds. regards jja

Very nice!

SLI works much better these days. 1k PS reccomended. cheers jja

Loaded a bunch of cloud cover with ASN going to KORS. Cloud draw distance is maxed - FPS sticking around 70 enroute Cheers jja

I usually don't have issues with clouds anymore but will give it a test. Regards jja

Sweet driver - 2X970S SLI, FSX DX10 WSTEVESFIXES, 4K 55OLED. Probably the only driver I've seen in recent history that appears to have made an improvement. Also with a new Microsoft Flight Simulator 10 profile. Still use NI with 8xS Combined AA and 4x Sparse Grid Supersampling. cheers jja

2 970's with a nice factory OC working well here. Relatively fast, quiet and don't take up a lot of space. The nv x70's series has always been a great, cost-effective fit for simmers. Cheers jja

Luv the plane but there is no way to lock onto the FlightPlan GPS. Is there a trick? TIA jja

Auto Installed. Looking good. Thanks Jim Allen

A good remedy (even with LOD 7.5) is to run FSX at a REALTIME OS priority. Everything else at Normal. The silver bullet would be to get fully resolved textures near the threshold. Running 1/2 sim rate is a good measure in tough spots like metro areas. Cheers jja

FSX DX10 with Steve's DX10 fixer app is very good. I would not go back to straight FSX because the water is so much better. Still getting ready to pull the trigger on P3D 3 but some of the issues users report are concerning yet I'm sure it will prevail. Regards

Assign FSX all the cores but 1 (usually the first) and don't try to micro-manage ASN. I wrote FSXAssist for that. Clouds have always been a big FPS / smoothness hit except on my current build with 2 970s in SLI. As a matter of fact, since I went SLI a few years ago, clouds no longer cause stutters. Also I use REX soft clouds. Regards jja
