That scenery error in the picture doesn't happen anywhere else - only around Dubai. Apparently it has some conflict with Orbx England which I also have installed, but there isn't a fix AFAIK. Also the spiking was due to water not set on high x2 with the bufferpools tweak, so i've corrected that. I just ran some more tests, turned off the traffic but makes only about 5fps difference so i'm not that bothered because traffic is a must have. I feel like I've tried every trick in the book when it comes to tweaking with the fsx.cfg file and nvidia inspector, and I believe that my hardware is more than capable of running fsx with reasonably high sliders. But perhaps my overclocking is not right or something isn't right with the hardware as you say. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to overclocking so maybe someone with more knowledge could point out if my voltage is too high or something?? I ran a cpu stress test with Intel Burn Test and was stable on standard for 10 tests. Also the cpu temps didnt go above 60c during a test flight. do you think my graphics card is good enough? My current FPS scores while taking off in Airbus X, with 50% UT2 traffic, ENB & Shade, EZdok: Orbx England & UK2000 Manchester Xtreme (18FPS) Orbx England & UK2000 Bristol Xtreme (24FPS) NL2000 & AS Schiphol X (14FPS) FlyTampa Dubai Rebooted (17 FPS)

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried changing the settings but there wasn't much change. The frame rates i'm quite happy with - i'm getting between 15 and 35. I think the main problem atm is the ground textures take ages to load up. I'm quite dissapointed because I bought a 6GB/s SSD drive for FSX in the hope that the textures would load up quicker, but so far they load up slower than my old PC where i had a basic 5400RPM HDD!

Just did a test flight from Athens to Dubai. frames are good but still having issues with scenery spikes and strange blocky/stripey ground scenery. I took this screenshot from the VC which shows the scenery problems: Anyone know what could be causing this?

Just did a quick test with the default cessna. In the virtual cockpit i get an average of the following frames at each airport/city with clear skies and 50% traffic: KJFK & NY - 27.5 KLAX & LA - 33.8 KSEA & Seattle - 41.4 Overall base average = 34.2 I also saw some strange "spiking" scenery... trees spiking upwards especially when taking off and looking around in the VC. I didnt notice this happening at the Dubai scenery... (could be bufferpools tweak?) pics of the display settings: GRAPHICS: AIRCRAFT: SCENERY: WEATHER: TRAFFIC: NV INSPECTOR SETTINGS: FSX.CFG TWEAKS: [JOBSCHEDULER] AffinityMask=14 [bUFFERPOOLS] Usepools=0 [GRAPHICS] HIGHMEMFIX=1 [DISPLAY] TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=40 UPPER_FRAMERATE_LIMIT=0 WideViewAspect=True [Main] FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.2

Ok will do this, does it matter which aircraft i do it it? is default cessna ok? it might also be worth mentioning that i flew the dubai scenery with clear skies.

Hi All, Just finished building a new PC for FSX and i'm testing the frames to see if the new hardware is any good, but i'm not sure if i'm getting all i can out of my new system. I currently get between 15-35fps at Dubai (OMDB) with the new Dubai Rebooted from FlyTampa and Airbus X Extended (in detail: 21 on takeoff, 15 past the terminal with traffic, 32 above Dubai city). Do you think this is as good as I will get or is my rig capable of getting much higher fps with more tweaking?

The only thing i changed was setting the frame limiter to unlimited in fsx as i noticed a slight improvement when doing this. Please tell me if i can do anything else to get better results or if i should be happy with the setup i have achieved. Many thanks, James
