Update: getting consistant low teens with FSX SP2. I really can't understand from a dev standpoint why its better using the downloaded SP2, rather than the Acceleration-SP2 that I purchased.

Downloaded Base 1.2 and was doing beautifully... 16fps in VC... I can live with that  :)

What I can't live with is complete lock up flying CS C130X Base 1.2  :'(

I will try to reproduce before sending in a ticket as it was second flight using Base1.2.
