Thanks for the reply. After looking at task manager, I saw that both cores are distributing the work evenly, to my surprise. So, since that isn't the problem, what else might cause microstutters?

Hello all. I've been configuring, tweaking, and playing around with FSX for the last couple weeks and after installing REX and ORBX PNW, the performance is good (30 FPS), but the constant microstutters are still distracting. After using Bojote's tweaking tool, it's a little better. However, REX is what I believe causes the most stutters, especially right before and during weather injection. I've already changed a lot of settings and that doesn't cut it. I use "RejectThresholds" and "FFTF" is at 0.2. My question is how can I separate Windows and REX from FSX, so the latter can at least have more breathing space and could this in fact work for this issue? After reading Word Not Allowed's guide, it seems that the "AffinityMask" tweak is only available for quad-core users, and us dual-core users are a little left out of the party... I'm knowledgeable enough when it comes to hardware to conclude that dual-cores are much more sensitive to any other applications when running, and therefore they are more vulnerable to stutters than quad-cores in the sim. My specs are on the side. Thank you to anyone who helps me have a more fluid experience.

I remember this video. Indeed, it's a great promoter. The one that got me hooked was the original Microsoft commercials that aired when FSX came out.

Looks very lovely and the soft shadows are just killer. :Peace:

I love trains. This is unique, indeed.

That's some nice realism right there, especially on the second one with that amazing lighting on the metal!

That valley must've been nice to fly through! What a neat little program.

The colors look really good and the darkness of the plane is really cool. Great job!

Yellow! Good job. I remember I used to have a little model of this plane.

The lights in this airport look so good! Very artistic and beautiful!

My eyes!!! j/k Good job.

Very nice lighting and glow!

To infinity and beyond!

I recently overclocked my Core 2 Duo for the same reasons, and I can tell you that it is pretty simple to raise your speed. Simply increase the FSB or multiplier to increase the GHz, and then run stress tests to make sure it's stable. If it's not, raise the Vcore for the CPU. You may also raise the voltage for the Northbridge (named "MCH" in most BIOSs). Make sure the PCIE is 100 MHz. However, make sure you keep the temps in order. If you're running hot, but you're stable, then you have the opportunity to decrease the voltages until it becomes unstable and then you raise it again. It is simply balancing the voltages with the speed.

Nice, Qantas Salsa style! :yahoo:
