  1. Hi all, I finally got the PMDG 737 NGX update installed and the FPS has increased by a few. I am just curious as to measures I could take to improve my frankly dire FPS further. My specs are below and they run other games decently, although the PC is over a year old now. I currently get around 12-17 FPS over areas such as London in the PMDG on settings shown below. I also have Orbx FTX England and FTX Wales installed and running. I get around 30FPS in the countryside and I am happy with between 24-30 FPS. I am also using Rex Essential with Overdrive and using the HD cloud textures, as well as some nice textures for the runway, taxiways e.t.c. I have already tried running fsx.exe as "realtime" priority and this gains a few frames. I could really use some advice on what to do here, as I feel I should be getting more frames on a 9 year old game, be it a very power hungry one. Running 1920x1080. Thanks for your time and my specs + FSX configuration are below (There is a lot to read ) Settings: Frame Rate Unlimited 1920x1080x32 Preview DX10 - Off Lens Flare - On Light Bloom - Off Advanced

  2. Hello there! I've looked all over the forums for help on this but I couldn't find anything similar. I am using P3Dv5 version 5.0.31.35253, which is the most recent to the best of my knowledge. My issue is that when I switch from Advanced Atmospherics (TrueSky) to default clouds, I have a tremendous performance hit. I thought I may have encountered some error with addons, so I did a clean uninstall of the sim, and the issue continued. Here is P3Dv5 with no addons or settings changed: Advanced Atmospherics on (87 frames): https://gyazo.com/8657a063799b608eb1caeb69f0cd806d And here is default clouds (19 frames): https://gyazo.com/a122fe90e82a52b952d20a30123c4599 As you can see, there is a massive hit when changing from TrueSky. I would just continue to use TrueSky and forget this problem but TS has so many issues that its not really viable for me. Is this a problem that everyone has? When I have asked friends they don't seem to get this problem. I actually get more frames in v4 than im getting in v5 now with the standard clouds. If there is anything you feel I may be missing to diagnose this, please comment and I will edit as needed. Thanks! Edit: for those who can't see it at first, the frame rate is shown in the bottom left corner of the screenshot.
  3. Ok I have FSX running on only 3 frames per second. I have a Intel i3 M370 / 4GB RAM / and Intel HD Graphics Card. I know this may suck for gaming but I know it can get at least 20 fps. I have every single slider set to low and this still gives me only 3 fps. I run the original FSX with only aircraft addons. No scenery no nothing. All sliders set to 0 execpt global texture resoloution is set to high for the plane. With default fsx aircraft I can get 20 with the sliders maxed out, but it doesn't make much of a diffrence because the crappy graphics card displays it like legos. I just want to run the addon plane and I do not care about the scenery. Its like the PMDG 737NGX or the Airbus X. I get 5 fps max on those planes. No matter what I do the frames don't change. If I set all the sliders to high then I still get 3 fps. If I set it to low, I get 3 fps. The scenery changes but the fps doesn't. Does anyone have any idea on what I could do to improve fps? Thanks in advance.
