Is my computer really this bad
Collingwood50 replied to Collingwood50's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcI 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

Collingwood50 replied to Collingwood50's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etcActually 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.

Is my computer really this bad
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or so goes to 1fps with an accompyning white noise sound from the speakers (if fps set to unlimited)Is my PC just out of date?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

FSX Frame rates plumit after entering menu's
Hi All, I wonder if you can help me?After uprading my RAM from 2gb to 4gb, I have enjoyed a fps boost from 20 to 30 fps on high settings, which I am really pleased about!.The problem is now, If ever I enter the menu (either by pressing the alt key, or by ending the flight) and resume the flight, frames drop to 0.3fps. All the exits are missing on the aircraft, as are the alierons, elevators and rudders. The Sky goes completly white but the ground stays the same!Any ideas?Cheers

Hello All, ITS HERE :D Am just about to install FSX again, and can't wait to follow your advice :) An interesting note, before - (when my RAM was 2GB) I had a Vista RAM rating of 5.3. Now I have 4GB, the RAM rating is 4.6. Is this normal? I know you aren

Need advice after epic comp failure!
Hi, thanks for all your replies, But I am repairing not replacing My computer.Having said that I will try to follow the fixes you have given me.As for re-downloading, the thing that caused my comp crash was the hacking of my old hotmail account, which I can no longer acess obviously. Unfortuantley all my account details, and as this is surely the email my key will be sent to, I'm not sure this would work.Is there definitley no way of downloading lots of WorldofAI packages together?Thanks for all your help, I really aprieciate it.

Need advice after epic comp failure!
Hi there, first post so bare with me Basicaly, my computer suffered a hideous faliure a few weeks ago. Fortunatley my new one got here a few days ago, and I am now ready to re-install FSX, which I am ready to do. (I am also lucky enough to have my RAM boosted from 2gb to 4gb, which should help my frame rates enourmously because even at 2gb they were herrendous ). I am unfortunatley heartbroken that I have lost 2 years work of modding FSX, including Ultimate traffic and scenery (I didn't have too many add on aircraft as they didn't work with DX10 - which i needed to get my framerates up!). Unfortunatley, due to the time that has passed since purchase, I am unable to re-download theese packages and this is really dissapointing me about Ultimate Traffic. So after that long intro, heres my question. I don't want to pay for Ultimate Traffic again and I dont really want payware again. So the obvious option would be WorldOfAi right? Firstly, I dont know if they are DX 10 compatiable, and secondly I just don't have time to download all the ones I want (2 at a time due to the tragic avsim hack) and Install them. Can say all the Europe packages be downloaded at once? Are there any WorldofAi packages zipped up and ready to go? If not, I would be more than happy with a series of repaints that simply replaced the default textures, this was done in FS9 with 747 and the 737 as I remember using the Virgin Express 737 all the time. Does such a package exist for FSX. Finaly, I remember there being a freeware AI package, with loads of airlines (albeit with generic flight plans but this was ok!) that I think i may have got from simviation but possibly avsim, which contained lots of aircraft that when parked, had baggage carts and catering trucks come to their doors? does this ring a bell? Is it available for FSX in DX10?. I really appriecate your time in helping me with this problem. Cheers Scott
