Invest in a good CPU fan and overclock up to 4.5GHZ, after that you'll be stick at 30FPS for sure. I don't think changing the GPU will increase your peformance. FYI i've got an i5 2500K running at 4.5Ghz and a GTX660, I'm stuck at 30FPS all the time.

FYI I'm running a i5 2500k up at 4.6Ghz easily with aircooling. FSX is stick at 30fps.

It's solved with SP1, you can install 22khz sound package which help to avoid stutter, and you can also activate the option "preload sound"

Thanks for this answer. Although I've got a powerfull computer running at 4.6Ghz my Achilles heel is the hard disk, I don't have a SSD, it's why I've got this freeze, otherwise during the taxi takeoff cruise all is smooth up to 30fps. I can't wait to test these new preoload sounds option, great news.

Great news ! It'll be an epic friday ! Performance won't be significally different, well ok but I hope you didn't forget to fix the landing lag. Probably due to the high soundload during the landing, a lot of users have reported 1 or 2 seconds freeze before touchdown, which is particularry annoying to complete a perfect landing.

I experienced the same issue, for me the stuttering was due to the bufferpools. If you want a smooth taxi I advise you to use RejectThreshold=65536 (small aircraft, small complexity) // 32768(PMDG, high complexity)

Did they fixed the landing lag ?

Same issue here, PMDG777 is loading succesfully 1 in 10 times, it's getting boring, I understand that there is a security for piracy but it's scandalous when I'm unable to fly the plane with a legit license due to this safety.

Yes you are right, He must run FSX in window mode and check at the same time CPU Z (FSX must be running without pause) Idle mode can be disabled in the BIOS.

Is it the picture of CPU Z when FSX is running ? Coz if yes it will explains all your problem, your CPU seems to be idle, you have to turn on turbo boost ! Regarding your FSX.CFG I suggest : [bUFFERPOOLS] RejectThreshold=16384 or UsePools=0 (You can experience artifacts with UsePools=0 if it's your situation raise your water setting to max X2 and it doesn't help try RejectThreshold=16384) Delete ForceFullScreenVSync=1 ForceWindowedVSync=1 and activate 1/2 Vsync with Nvidia Inspector and limit your FPS at 30 inside FSX. [TERRAIN] TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS_PER_CELL=350 If you are flying IFR try this in order to get better performance TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL=250 [sCENERY] SmallPartRejectRadius=2.0 In combinaison with the terrain tweak, you will have less autogen but it'll not popping Check the resolutions of your clouds and the algorithm of compression, you must choose DXT1

Check with CPU Z if turbo mode is on, with FSX is running. Can you overclock a little bit your CPU ? Paste your FSX.CFG here.

Does PMDG Fixed the landing lag ?

Ok, I'll try to be more accurate, take a look at my video from 1:40, it's sunset and we can see the amber backlighting. Same on this video Here again Here from 4:44 during the arrival at Hong Kong Your video make me laugh because it's a FSX video and not real life

Basically, MD11 is an old generation PMDG aircraft, lighting was'nt as good as the NGX or 777X. Regarding the color, it's not a subjective impression, color is more amber (I confess I said orange, my mistake) in ALL the videos, professional & amator footages. Well, I do not want to discuss if PMDG is right, I'm just asking if we can tweak the lights, final point.

Me too, had never the chance to visit the flightdeck but after watching all the videos it seems lighting is more orange. It's like NGX cockpit, the color was too white not enough orange, I've got the oppurtinity to be on jumpseat several times and I'm pretty sure of this. As far as concerned the MD11 do you know if we can tweak the color like in the NGX ? It's a minor problem, it won't change my way to fly lol I'm juste curious if we can tweak this

Hi, I think the lighting of the PMDG MD11 is too white, do you know if it's possible to tweak the cockpit lights in order to get something more orange like in this video ? Thanks

The same here, my FPS in DX9 are stuck to 30 in the clouds, in DX10 it's unfortunately dropping to 15, I decided to switch back to DX9.

Exactly the same with me, my fps are dropping to 15 in the cloud, out it's smooth with 30fps. I finally decided to switch back to DX9 because I was unable to find a solutions at this issue.

Are you using Mogwaisoft SHADE ?

same for me

interested ^_^

Maybe if we reduce the rate of sound it can be better ?

Hello, Just a couple of secondes before the landing I experienced a freeze/stutter of 2 seconds, it's very annoying. I investigated and I think I found the issue, maybe it's the loading of the mist effect due to the touchdown. I'd like to know if it's possible to delete this effect without consequences and if the answer is yes can you give me the name of the file ? Thank you
