Hello everyone. I am experiencing a rather peculiar issue with FSX. Just for some background, I have the regular box version, SP1 and SP2 installed. My PC Specs are as follows: i7 4790k @ stock GTX 960SC 8GB DDR3 FSX is installed on a 1TB WD Blue I just built this PC in May, and have been slowly installing my addons, and purchasing new ones since that time. About a month ago I would say, I began experiencing an issue where during a flight, If I want to access a setting via the menu bar, once clicked, the menu selected will take 2-3 minutes to load. After that, once a button is selected, another 1-2 minutes for the task to be completed. I dealt with it for a while, but couldn't take it anymore. I uninstalled FSX completely thinking that it may be an installation or corruption issue, or an issue with an addon I had installed. After I completed the re-installation of FSX, SP1, and SP2, I ran the program in windowed mode, with no addons, and voila it was fixed. BUT, the problem still persists in Fullscreen mode ONLY, and I prefer flying in that mode as frames are better. I don't know where to look next. I am using an FSX.CFG from Matt Davies, so I can try to test the issue with a default CFG and see if the problem is fixed. Thanks for any advice! Mark [EDIT] : I am NOT using Matt Davies CFG in this new install. It is default. I had forgotten that I never replaced the CFG.

Hey everyone. Within the next few months I will be purchasing parts to build a new Flight Sim PC. I want my build to run fsx and payware addons well, but I'm not expecting constant 30 fps in dense areas with FSX and or P3D completely maxed out. I also cannot spend more than $1000 on the parts, preferably in the $900-950 range. Here is what I have so far: -Intel i7 4790k -Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO -MSI PC Mate Z97 (I chose a cheaper board because I most likely will not OC for the time being) -Crucial Ballistix Sport 2x4GB -GeForce GTX 960 2GB -Corsair CX750 Any advice about what to improve or performance I can expect from these specs would be appreciated. Thanks! Mark

Okay. I'll switch to a 700-800w power supply and keep the 960 for now. Thanks for the reply.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to run these specs by Avsim users and get some input on the performance I can get out of these specs. i will be running FSX and P3D with aircraft such as the PMDG 737/777 as well as sceneries such as ORBX and FlyTampa. This is the hardware I'm planning to purchase for this system: i7 4790k (I most likely won't OC for the time being) Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO GeForce Gtx 960 2GB 8 GB DDR3 and a Corsair 600W power supply to run it all. Will this system perform well? I'm ok with 25-30 fps even with FSX/P3D not 100% maxed out. I also am restrained on the budget, as this system would cost me under $900 at the moment and I wold like to not go far over that.
