Hi all,
Two quick items:
1) Autocruise problem question. When I activate autocruise via the chronometer on the captain's side, the time compression starts, accelerates to 16x sim speed, but then FSX:SE automatically stops, goes black and reloads like if I were first loading into the sim. It comes back on right where I left off but at 1x sim speed. For the record, the chronometer numbers stay green as if the compression were still active but it's definitely at 1x. If I go through FSX internally and change speed to 16x it will stay....I would just love to be able to use the autocruise feature.
Any recommendations or similar encounters with this issue?
2) FPS and performance...I'm running FSX:SE on a decent but not brilliant laptop. Intel i7-6700HQ quad core running 3.1 ghz, GTX 960M, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD. In the NGX VC with sliders mid-high, default scenery, frame rate unlimited, I get 35-40 FPS. In the 744v3, I struggle to consistently maintain 25. 18-23 is average. Interestingly, if I wait and let the mouse hide and use my joystick hat/EZDOK to pan around, FPS jumps to 40-45. As soon as I move mouse to interact with cockpit, it drops back to 20-25.
Is this simply to be expected with the higher level of detail in the QOTSII or am I missing some potential performance I just need to adjust for?
Thanks for the help and patience! Happy flying,
Grant
