syrious

It's really damn funny^^...I bet you got a 2600k @ 4-5ghz ...like all users who are telling me it's running smooth... What sliders do you mean considering I only get fps < 30 when in VC?I estimate my settings as pretty low but may someone see settings which could make the pmdg737 useable...please let me know MY SETTINGS (Just links because don't wanted to blow up this site):http://filerepos.de/...xsettings/1.PNGhttp://filerepos.de/...xsettings/2.PNGhttp://filerepos.de/...xsettings/3.PNGhttp://filerepos.de/...xsettings/4.PNGhttp://filerepos.de/...xsettings/5.PNG Any setting hint welcome :)

Not a real solution, but a bit better performance I got by: further overclocking my Phenom II 955 from 3.7 to 3.8 setting autogen to sparse reducing cloud draw distance to 60 miles disabling mouse shadow and desktop background (Actually don't really think that helps..seems to be rather hocus-pocus) So now I get 18-21 FPS so turning @ VC is not smooth but stuttering and taxiing with 16-18fps really hurts..What a pity I'm really curious whether the SandyBridge E (8-core) will be able to get 30fps in the VC.At the earliest that can be tested at the end of the year.

my performance @ VC (with mouse off screen): LevelD-767: 28-30 fpsPMDG 737 NGX: 18-22 fps In other views I get with all addons constant 30fps (external limited). System:Phenom II 955 @ 3,8 | 4 GB RAM | GForce 280gtx | WinXP 64Bit | Saitek X52

Isnt that just an text output of the actual fps?...or does that also limit the fps?

OK..if this is the cause, the event listener of the clickspots seem to be inefficient / badly scalable...maybe there are some cyclic state requests for each clickspot per second

Ahh..sounds good..I could imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to build that...that's just a transparent 2D-Cockpit which has a clicklistener which gets x-y-position and actiontype (e.g.click) and propagates the event to the VC. Maybe an opinion of an experienced fsx addon developer could be very interesting.

Ok..I think it's very dependent on the system....maybe my system has reserves on LevelD767 for example...so I don't lose a frame on mouseover and therefore don't have a difference in fps.. Concerning the measuring of fps:I'm using external FPS-Limiter....so the jumps are restricted.If the fps line would update event quicker I think my eyes wouldnt be able to follow. But with the average FPS output shows also clearly what is going on.It's at least currently fast enough to see within 0,5sec that the fps drops by 5-10fps (only in VC..all other views are constantly at 28-30fps.)If anyone wants evidence I can make records of the behaviour of aircrafts with and without the VC-FPS-issue. Maybe you could suggest a good FPS-Monitoring Tool?The external FPSLimiter I'm using is from MarkoLudolph...Can anyone suggest another? Ok...I'm just a bit confused that all addon aircraft (dispite of ifly & pmdg737) run great on addon airports and rex2 environment without any fps-impact on VC when using mouse.Eventually it was also a bit emotional for me that after waiting a long time for this masterpiece which is finally not usable in my case..hope you understand that some frustration arises.I will calm down...and try do other things for a while..maybe I will try again with "sandy bridge E" at the end of the year.

Sorry but It is definitely NOT true that every extended Addon-aircraft causes an FPS-loss when the mouse is active in VC. The only ones I know until now are: iFly737 and since yesterday PMDG737NGX Other Addons like LevelD767, PMDG MD-11, QW 757 run always between 28-30fps and don't care about the mouse My System: Phenom II 955 @ 3,7 (stable & cool) & 4GB RAM @ WinXP64 I expect there are some functions in the addons that bare a misconception in the FSX-Core.But everyone has to judge for him/herself if that functions (causing indirectly FPS-loss) in the addon aren't then also another misconception. Maybe there is only a second quadcore necessary to get a smooth experience. (referring to http://forum.avsim.net/topic/341492-fps/)I'm very sad it's unusable for me (10-18fps)..and burned the money Just posted a ticket but don't expect a real solution because also iFly fights for months with this problem without solving it.

I run Win XP 64 and get better performance with cursor inactive or off screen. (Bloom inactive) Has anyone found a clue what the cause is or how to eliminate that problem?

OK..thanks for your replies....I will try that...although I suspect that performance will be bad when limitting to 20fps or using FSX-internal limitting

Hello,I got the problem that all AI-Traffic which is related to Missions (F-16 Missions, Patrouille Suisse Missions) is slightly stuttering constantly (like 0,5-1m forward an backward 4 times per second)Any suggestions to fix that?(Googling for stuttering ai traffic didn't bring meaningful results ;-) )MY SYSTEM:-----------------My system runs fine (30-35fps) limited by extenal FPS-Limiter.fsx.cfg is optimized by webtool: http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.htmland BufferPools are offSystem:phenom 2 x4 955 @ 3,7 @ 50°C4gb ramgforce 280gtx530w psu

Adjusting hardware accelleration in dxdiag from max -> min apparently solved the problem...hope that performance wont suffer too much..

Dear Simmers :)For nearly a whole week I'm trying to fix the following problem:After approx. 5min flying a complex addon plane like Level D 767 (SP 2a) or CLS 757 I get a high-pitched multivoice squealing whine. It seems that slewing the plane or resetting the flight often triggers this crash but it also occured during some mins of flight.This high sounds do even change if I change the thrust or drop the gear for example. ( if sbd. wishes a video I will post it ;) )I also noticed that during the high sounds the physics of FSX seems to be corrupt..when I land, the plane tilts to the right like there was only the left gear extended (although both are down).Any interaction (dispite of joystick steering) like mouse or joystick clicks or even killing the process using the task manager locks up the sim, so that xp crashes with Bluescreen telling me MACHINE CHECK EXCEPTION.On the other hand I can start and use any other program which isnt related to FSX.All other programs and new games that are installed run without such problem, so I actually think that it's a specific FSX or FSX-Addon Bug.I read Microsofts advices and many many other boards and took the following measures without success: -> increased core voltage to 1.40v -> cleaned and reinstalled latest drivers for graphics and sound -> disabled daemon tools drive (not uninstalled) -> put off the IDE DVD Drive -> checked RAM with memtest -> checked system events -> put in new 550w power supply (see specs) -> checked all power cables inside the pc -> checked cpu, mainboard and gpu temperatures -> are ok (43
