pschlute,thanks for your quick reply, however I don't see any assignments that come under SHIFT+1 or anything that says "Panel View" "Radio Stack" or something like that. Any suggestion on the name of it in the assignment settings?

Hi peopleOnce again I have encounted another problem with FS9. The panel buttons (e.g. SHIFT+1/ SHIFT+2 etc) are not working. This is getting very frustrating as I always have to manually press alt and go select the panel that I want. Does anybody have a fix to this? This issue only happened after I installed the Aerosoft Schipol Amsterdam Scenery, I have uninstalled it and tried it again, no avail :(I would greatly appreciate it if anybody would be able to offer me advice on this issue :)Cheers!

sorry, you either have to live with that s**tty wilco or POSKY for now until the CS 777 is released.

hey Paul, thanks again for this piece of advice and taking the time to explain. Really appreciated :) Max, Thanks too, will work with what I have for now :)

Ah yes, back to topic people, I have just done a clean reinstall of my fs9 and things did not seem to change. Here is another instance, since its mentioned that FS9 is very CPU dependent, another friend of mine is using his i5 laptop @ 2.33GHz (same as mine) and running FS9 with PMDG and FSDT and getting 50fps! I really dont get whats wrong with my FS9. When I loaded it up with deafault scenery and PMDG @ KSEA hoping that something was fixed, I then got around 20-30 fps on my PMDG with deafault scenery. It really rings a bell and it is very frustrating to see people have the same rig as you and getting higher performance than you :sad:Should I consider reinstalling my OS?Just to add on, I'm haveing FSX installed on the same drive. Does that cause any interference?

ok, so according to the recommended cfg that you guys are giving me, its recommended to keep the frames @ 30fps? and what do you mean by activating the AA via the card?

Ok people, as requested, here is my cfg file. Ir may be a bit long so bear with it, I did not do anything to the cfg file so it should be

hey psolk, thanks for your quick reply, to be more specific I was using the deafault cessna 172 @ seattle with 50% traffic and I was getting 30-40 fps and do i need to configure vsync in anyway? I used to configured it for fsx but I'm not sure if i would need to configured it for fs9 again. Regarding the AA/AF, I'll get it checked out later :) Hey Rob,I would try to upload my cfg file asap since im inflight currently. Thanks though :)

Hi psolkThanks for clearing the air on that. Maybe comparing with my friends i5 is a bit too unrealistic, however I have another friend who is running his 6 year old centrino with a 1.8GHZ and running fs9 with everything maxed out and still getting 60-100 fps too. So I think its something wrong with my installation or something? Or could I have some of you guy's specs and the performance that you are getting?

Hi guys,Thanks for your quick reply :) To be more specific, let me give you all an example:A deafault cessna 172 flying over a payware scenery (e.g. overland RKSI) I'm getting around 30-40 fps.Also, my friend is running a Intel i5 2500K with everything maxed out on FS9 and getting around 70fps with PMDG regardless of wether on the ground or in the air O.O

Hi people,I have "downgrade" or some would say "upgrade" to FS9. However I do not seem to be getting the performance that I should get. I can run FSX fairly well and I'm only getting around 30-40 fps with FS9 while my friends on their older rig can run their FS9 from 80-110 fps. I have also patched the software to 9.1. The following are my CPU specs:Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.33GHZRAM:3GBGPU:Nvidia GeForce 9500GSI really do not know what seems to be the problem with it and it is getting kind of frustrating. I'm new to FS9 and heard that it performs really well even on a mid end rig. Any help for this would be greatly appreciated :)

Hi there, I downloaded the latest version of FSrealWX from the forums. Everything seems to be working well. Its a good thing that according to my process bar manager that its only eating approximately 1000kb of my RAM. However after I started running this software, it seems to cause a memory leak to my fsx. With my normal FSX flight running alone, it usually take up about 1.5GB of ram at the most. But now im only left with slightly less than 1GB (out of my 3GB ram). Is it a possible cause of memory leak? I have done the tweaks by bojote previously and all work well until i install this. I'm now kinda scared of OOM errors with the current memory that I have,

thanks a lot for your help!

FSX ATC? they should get replaced it with something like RC4

hi philip, thanks for your reply i had it up and running by copying the texture contents from the other files, everything is fine now, thanks for your help!
