However, 1/2 refresh rate vsync stopped working in DX9. Bought the fixer, switched to DX10 and now it is working again. I love my FSX right now!

Changing from my old GTX 260 to a GTX 970 solved the problem!

Ok, thanks for replying. I think I will go for a GTX 970.

Thanks for your replies! Maybe I should buy the fixer and start using DX10 mode or try P3D instead.

I have recently built a new pc with an i5 6600k CPU, running at 4.2 GHz. I use the FSX Steam Edition. Currently my addons are: - FS Global 2010 - FTX Global - UTX Europe v2 - PMDG 737 NGX - Active Sky Next I have a very old GPU, a GTX 260. I made a test at Aerosoft Stockholm Arlanda airport, sitting at the runway, using the virtual cockpit, and I am not able to maintain the locked frame rate of 30 fps. No AI traffic is in use at all. Even though the GPU usage shows around 50-60 %, is it still possible that my GPU is the problem here? Would i benefit from upgrading to a better GPU?

I have made the move to FSX:SE on a new build, using Windows 10. I'm woundering if anyone has full screen and DX9 working properly in Windows 10? For me, the loading screen for a new flight is completely black and I see no status bar. Furthermore, I am not able to use the menus at the top of the screen during a flight (by pressing alt). I can access the menu bar but selecting one of the options in the drop-down menus results in a black screen. DX9 and window mode works fine, as well as full screen mode using DX10. And yes, I have installed the DX9 package.

I have exactly the same problem as described here but in FS9. So it is not only the PMDG NGX but other aircraft also. The aircraft with the least flickering is the FS9 default Cessna. The flickering only occurs in the 2D panel (when switching view in the 2D panel or when going from external to 2D). No flickering at all when changing view in VC. It seems to be a short pause when changing view, like it is not responding instantly combined with flickering. I can also confirm that the problem is connected to the 1/2 refresh rate setting in NI. I have 30 FPS locked and 60 Hz refresh rate. Setting v-sync to FORCE ON results in no flickering but stutters instead. I didn't experience this before but ever since reinstalling my computer I have had it. My laptop works fine with no flickering at all.

Hi, thanks. I have already tried the newest driver and a few other but there was no difference. As I mentioned, it worked perfectly before the reinstallation and I have the same tweaks applied to the fs9.cfg as before (I have also deleted it many times and started from a default cfg file). I am doing everything the same way as I did before when it worked. I did note now that this problem is not connected to FS9 only. I installed FSX and the same thing occurs. I also see a short short drop in FPS when I change view direction in the 2D cockpit and when going from external view to 2D cockpit. This seems to be why the stuttering and freezes occur. The V-sync tweak I am reffering to is when setting 1/2 refresh rate in Nvidia Inspector, 60 Hz refresh rate for the monitor and 30 FPS locked in FS.

The uploader does not allow me to upload my fs9.cfg, but here are the important parts of the file: [DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260.0] Mode=1920x1080x32 MipBias=8 TriLinear=1 [DISPLAY] UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=30 TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=100 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=1.0 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=1.0 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=1.0 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=1.0 [TERRAIN] TERRAIN_ERROR_FACTOR=100.000000 TERRAIN_MIN_DEM_AREA=10.000000 TERRAIN_MAX_DEM_AREA=200.000000 TERRAIN_MAX_VERTEX_LEVEL=21 TERRAIN_TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=8 TERRAIN_AUTOGEN_DENSITY=5 TERRAIN_USE_GRADIENT_MAP=1 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_TEXTURES=1 TERRAIN_DEFAULT_RADIUS=4 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_RADIUS=4 TERRAIN_EXTENDED_LEVELS=4 Here are my Nvidia Inspector settings

I recently made a complete reinstallation of Windows 7 along with FS9 and all my addons and I'm now experiencing a very strange problem connected to the V-sync tweak (1/2 refresh rate). I had no problems at all before the reinstallation. What happens is that i have freezes and stutters when i chnage view direction in the 2D panel, and the FPS seems to be a bit unstable. All other views, including VC, is working fine. This is only happening when the V-sync tweak is applied. I have tried three different versions of Nvidia Inspector and a couple of different Nvidia Drivers. Does anyone know what is wrong?

Ok, thank you. Then I will save my money for something else.

Is anyone using Ultimate Terrain and Ground Environment Pro together with Zinertek Night Environment? I currently have Ultimate Terrain and Ground Environment Pro and was woundering if getting Zinertek Night Environment will add anything new and better compared to only having the two addons mentioned?

Well, I think the iFly 737 is the one I actually want and fly some of the SAS and norwegian routes in the scandinavia and to destinations around europe. I think I have to get the new FlyTampa Dubai Rebooted also and try the ESSA-OMDB route using Norwegian 737

Thank you all for sharing some advice and thoughts regarding this. It's still a difficult desicion but I think I will go for one of them to start with and maybe get the other one later on. The 737 is in the lead right now, but not by much, I still have some time to think about it as I will wait until the christmas holidays from university. It's not a god idea to buy a new aircraft right now when the exams are approaching.

I'm thinking about going back to flight sim again more seriously after not flying so much at all during the last years. I used to fly the Maddog MD-80 which is absolutely a fantastic aircraft, but I would like to start with a new plane. I'm thinking about getting either the iFly 737 or the QualtiWings BAE 146. The BAE 146 seems to be a very good aircraft, that I'm very interested in learning to fly, but I'm a bit concerned about it being quite a limited aircraft type regarding range and number of operators, for example. A B737 on the other hand is more allround, but perhaps more boring compared to the BAE 146. Which one would you píck, and why? Thanks
