Markoz, I am sorry I jupt in your post. I was trying to reach you. I noticed you have same PC configuration like me. Except I have Nv 280X Graphic card. MY FPS are very low. I am getting at major APs (JFK/EWR) on taxiway around 6-8. Some times 12, but plane moves like in bottle neck. Over 300FL with 727-100X around 24-27 FPS.(Over major cities 12-15) Recently I reinstalled every thing, Started from Manufacturing Day One. I have Vista 64 Ultimate. Nothing changed. My addons: CS727-100, 200, CS-767 REX,UTX, GEX and My Traffic How is your settings? Thanks Sanal

Hi Sanal.

I have used Nick N's FSX tweaks to get the best out of my system. His tweaks can be found HERE. It is best to open with IE because Firefox doesn't show the entire post, although I have found that Firefox 3.6.2 works fine for viewing it. You need to follow what he says to do EXACTLY. This will most probably require you to reinstall FSX which is a real pain in the "you know where".

He updates this all the time. His latest update was 25/2/10 so it is always good to return to.

Up until the other day I wasn't using the [BUFFERPOOLS] settings because it seemed to mess things up for me. With the latest Nvidia drivers 197.13 (25/3/10) I find that setting that to Poolsize=200000000 works very well for me now. I really should try a higher setting though.

To be honest. I haven't really stopped changing things ever so slightly to get the best out of my system.

I wish I had a GTX285 or GTX295 but the price is a bit high for me at the moment. FSX is CPU driven anyway, but I do have other games installed. ;)

I have REX2, but it isn't installed at the moment because it really eats into my frame rates. That's disappointing. :'(
I use Active Sky Evolution when using real world weather, and I have followed their recommendations for the settings in FSX.cfg and in FSUIPC.ini (I have a registered version of FSUIPC ).

I have found that Captain Sim 757 and 767 really hit my frame rates, but the 727 I hardly notice the hit.

If you need more help on this. Just contact me via the EMAIL button below.
