Brilliant mod. ThankyouOne slight problem, for me it repeats the surface wind on landing? E.g. Jetset4566 Surface wind 268 at 6.....268 at 6 Cleared to landhardly the end of the world but has anyone else had this?

Hi PFL I thought this may have been the problem - I always have huge amounts of trouble installing the latest nvidia drivers!

Here is the fatal error as viewed in event viewer:+System-Provider[ Name] Application Error-EventID1000[ Qualifiers] 0Level2Task100Keywords0x80000000000000-TimeCreated[ SystemTime] 2011-07-19T17:08:36.000ZEventRecordID107588ChannelApplicationComputerzurichSecurity-EventDatafsx.exe10.0.61472.0475e17d3unknown0.0.0.000000000c00000050000000015a401cc462a32a9e00aAnd around the 30 second freezes we have a lot of Trusteer RapportsvchostnvSCPAPI.exeexplorer.exeand obviously allot of fsx.exe

Even with auto-protect turned off I have the same issues :(

I managed to have a flight today - got all the way from Gatwick to 50km of LPMA and then a fatal error occurred.I think I am just going to have to accept that processor on my PC is not powerful enough. My friend has FS2004 with a whole host of addons (on the same rig) full settings and quite frankly it doesn't look that much worse. The general consensus seems to be that (although my computer isn't top notch) FSX is possibly not the most well designed piece of software when it comes to performance? Hopefully Microsoft Flight or X-Plane 10 will be a little better, and someone might buy me a new computer!I really appreciated all the help - it's so irritating that I can have everything on full at 30fps....then it just collapses.Just a final stab in the dark...Here is my work latptop? would this be any better? http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/Product/42735/Toshiba-Satellite-Pro-L450D-11K-AMD-Athlon-QL-65

Thankyou but it seems the file has been deleted

Any chance of this being uploaded again I am having real trouble with FSX

Actually I imagine it was the guide using nvidia inspector that probably sped up my performance the most! Is overclocking a hardware or software thing? There is an overclocking tab in nvidia inspector.The annoying thing is i'm now getting 30fps with everything turned up (I can even mange light bloom!) it's just this irritating drop to 0.6 every 30 seconds.

I think that would be a bit too complicated for me! Wouldn't want to break anything!

Hey Bert,Thanks for the reply, I have Norton Antivirus running. I will try clicking 'disable auto protect' to see what happensThanks again for your reply

Right I have done the changes explained in the link suggested by ryanbatcund My frame rate has increased by about 50% which is absolutely fantastic thank you!I am still plagued by it dropping to 0.3fps every 30 seconds or so added with horrible white noise sound from the speakers

Would be any better of with X-plane?

Dear All,Thankyou for your really quick and helpful replies. I have installed sp2 :)ryanbatcund I will take a look at that forum thank you.Buying a new system is a bit out of question at the moment but I will explore some of your options!How sad it is to hear my computer is 'a bit outdated' how things move on!

Dear All,(I hope I am doing the right thing by posting this here and not in the main FSX thread!)I have to confess that whilst I know alot about flying, computers have moved foward far faster than I can cope with and I really do know nothing about them! I got a top of the range Novatech PC a few years a go which has so far been able to run everything i have thrown at it on full settings. Now the real flying has died down I thought it would be good to install FSX to relive the good old days.And it just runs horribly. I either get constant 15 frames a second (if frame rate limited to 30) or 25fps which every 30 seconds or so goes to 1fps with an accompyning white noise sound from the speakers (if fps set to unlimited)Is my PC just out of date? Is it going wrong? I have tried to post some of my PC's stats which are probably all the wrong things you want but if you need me to provide you with something else I will of course oblidge!Thanks for the help I really look foward to your replies4x Intel Core Quad Q9300 @ 2.50ghz2x Nvidia 8800GT graphics cards (512mb I thig)Windows Vista 32 bit4GB RAMSaitek AV8R joystickMy Traffic
