Well what do you know, first attempt after uninstalling Facetrack Noir and boom. Thank you

Thank you all, will look into some of the suggestions. The frequency one seems a sensible start

Having a serious issue since last update. When I click fly now, i ti snot going to cockpit view, instead it is at the view it currently is when it is previewing the flight (if that makes sense) If i press end to go to outside view, it is still stuck but the guages appear and go away when i hit end again. I can't fly and i have had no issues like this before. I updated my graphics driver yesterday and it suddenly worked but now it is doing it again so must not have been that. Any ideas please? Cheers Paul

Hello How am I meant to find out weather conditions on airfields? I was landing at Popham and the nearest ATIS i could find was Fanrborough, so i tuned in and nothing happened. I am very much a noob so my process is probably wrong, but this seemed weird to not get anything at all even said or written on the comms tab. Thanks Paul

What I don't understand is why everyone is saying how poor my GPU is and saying it is barely above Min Spec. Its miles over min spec and a milion iles better than my old GTX 760 Am i missing something?

For those of us that have less than perfect PC's or for anyone, is there a way to save a graphics profile for different scenes? Example, i may find the perfect set up for the 152 over built up areas but that would be totally different to the Airbus in my case Is there a way to do it or just make notes? Cheers Paul

Yes you can, here you go

Thanks everyone I am still undecided as various answers good and bad. As said, FPS is not my main goal, would be nice but a smooth 30 with no CPU bottleneck would be nice. When running at 25FPS, My CPU seems to hover over 85 to 100% in the non glass aircraft in rural. My GPU is not getting touched, that hovers around 30-50% which is why the cpu seems to be the issue. I would be more than happy with a nice smooth 25-30 FPS with next to no stutters and if spending £110 on a i7 would fix that , then its a no brainer. How much does my Standard hdd have to play in stutters? Could it be the cpu and the writing to the hdd? I really dont have hundreds to spend on a MOBO and Memory and CPU Thanks Paul

I'm confused lol and glad i asked. I have only just upgraded my GPU fro the GTX 760 to the GTX 1650 Super and it showed a very big jump in FPS on exactly the same settings. The trouble with the new card is now it seemingly pushed the CPU to its max and is now a bottle neck. So in theory if i went further with the GPU, it would get worse? I have seen youtube reviews of benchmarks that show the 4790 performing much better than the 4690 both overclocked which mine is to 4.3ghz I am even more confused now lol

Thanks Whats wrong with the card?

Thanks, but why "especially with that GPU"? I can still send the GPU back and get a better/lesser oner?

Currently i am running FS 25 fps on nearly medium. That is only with GA aircraft, anything more and i am pushing my luck lol. My set up is: i5 4690K GTX 1650 Super 16GB Ram Asus Z97-K Motherboard I do get issues with the cpu being 100% on anything more than 25fps and even these settings cause some stuttering. If i went any less on the graphics i may aswell play fsx So, my motherboard can only go as high as the i7 4790K. I know the obvious money is not an issue idea would be to scrap it all and start again, but that is not possible. So my question is, will the i7 4790K give me enough of an upgrade to warrant the appx £130. No point in saying if only you spent a bit more, as taht really is not possible because i would need a new board, cpu, memory and probably PSU. Thoughts please Cheers Paul So,

I am only running on low graphics so i struggle to find them, but are you guys struggling with high graphics? Once i find them they seem to be exactly where they describe

I am willing to try anything but i can not find the V Sync setting in Nvidia Inspector I have half refresh rate, do you mean that or i have fast sync but not the half sync you mention? Cheers Paul

Interesting, thank you I will give it a go :-)

Hiya What is the best way to shut down all the un-needed processes in the background when running FSX on Windows 10? What should be shut down? Many thanks Paul

I wonder if a MOD could move it please?

Thank you, but unless I am doing something wrong, that did not work ;-( I did profile specific Pressed the button on joystick Selected Ap Spd Var Dec Selected Control to repeat while held but nothing happens in the sim I have read somewhere about a script being required but not sure if that is old or not? Thanks Paul

Thank you I will look into both Paul

Hiya I am sure it can be done, but I don't know how. I fly mostly my Aerosoft Airbus but currently, the only way to change the Autopilot speed is to use the mouse. Is there a way of mapping a joystick buttons to increase/decrease AP speed using FSUIPC? Many thanks Paul

I am very new to UT2, but I noticed turning the frame rate off in UT2 got me a hell of a lot more AI, maybe try that?

Thanks guys I have bought Ultimate Traffic 2 as there is a 30 day refund, it is better than traffic 360 but still a hit on FPS The good thing about it, it seems you can tell it when to spawn the aircraft instead of what someone earlier said, they all being spawned all around you which could be alot of aircraft. I am hoping for a refund on Traffic 360 although not holding my breath If this doesnt work, I will try the freebie version Thanks Paul

It looks like I am having a chat with myself here lol However, I can now confirm that Traffic 360 is an absolute pile of tosh FPS wise, it literally kills my reasonable PC. 30% set in the Traffic controls centre 40% Set in Airline traffic in FSX 0% Set in GA traffic in FSX All Scenery sliders at absolute minimum (Far left) I get less than 20 FPS My sliders nearly all way right with no Traffic 360, late 20's FPS They advertise as a low FPS hit, but based on my experience, that is just a plain lie Thoughts anyone? Paul

Just had a quick play again. I have uk2000 Gatwick. I went from 30 FPS down to 20 with 25% traffic. I have now gone back to uk2000 settings and turned off all static aircraft. I now get 30 FPS again,but get this,that is with 100 % traffic both airline and ga!! Does traffic 360 overwrite all fsx standard ai traffic or should that be uninstalled? I have not done a flight yet with the new settings, but certainly looks promising

Hiya Was looking to add a bit more movement in the skies and around the airports,so decided to get traffic 360. It claims,as do users that the fps drop is negligible, well,not based on my quick experience. With ai traffic set to 40% normal and 10% ga aircraft, I get about a 50% fps hit. Even at those settings,landing at Gatwick during the day there was not one plane ready for take off or any landing in front of behind me. So absolutely no point in reducing the % Any ideas what I can do or is it just not going to work? Thanks Paul
