Hello,

I have FSX with SP1 running in WinXP SP2 my fps in fsx is (in high density areas) 15 fps (with high settings and in 2d cockpit), with this aircraft the fps drops to 5 or 6 fps !!! I make all things include desactivate and lower all graphics settings but my fps doesn't change! I try many things i discover that the problem of my fps drop is the exterior model! I remove it (rename the mdl file) and it runs very well (with good fps) but many systems doesn't work like many knobs and buttons, like apu (with mdl file all systems works). So please help me and say what i must or do a alternative external (mdl file) model that will be less fps killer.
I also discover that the external mdl have many strange giant 3d models (try to rename the texture directory and see what i say). can you make a mdl file without all auxiliar cars and cargo as a alternative one ???

I have many complex payware addons but this problem only exist in this aircraft.

Thanks in advance

With best regards

I can also say that the framerate does not suffer at all with the C-130X. No idea how you guys did it but this is an amazing job, I get about the same performance out of the C-130X as out of Aerosofts BeaverX.

Hi,
I am having same FPS problems as Tercio and Chris. I am running FSX SP1 (WinXP SP2).  For comparison: FSX Baron 58…35-40 fps, another company Beaver…30-35 fps), C-130…10-12 fps VC and 15-17 fps 2D cockpit). After changing back to Baron 58, frames increase again to 35-40 fps.
Any help is appreciated

I followed this and it raised my fps about 8! I am still getting 9 fps though, it used to be 1 fps. I have an Intel Core 2 Duo with an 8800 GTS, 2 gigs of ram, and I am running FSX on Windows XP with SP2, without Acceleration. Please help people, I know so much about computers, but the this problem simply leaves me incapable of explaining it. I do NOT want 55 dollars down the drain!

I have downloaded and installed the C130X to my computer and the FPS were terrable, with minimum scenery settings and using the standard Grey USAF C130E I was getting 1.75fps at an airport.
I fitted a new 7500NVIDIA Graphics card and it did seem a little better.
I assumed that installing service Pack 1 would do the trick but it didnt.
Installing Service Pack 2 did and now with medium scenery settings I get good frame rates and the C130 is a pleasure to fly.
Cant wait for Captain Sim release all thos addons.

Captainsim,
       Same as usual but only one reply from you!! Why does it not state in more info/system requirements that SP2 would be recommended for this package???? Not everyone wants SP2 installed on there comp. 

As for your statement about being the same as default 747, what a load of rubbish!!!!

C130 FPS, 3-5 with all sliders to left.
747 default: 20-30 with most sliders to right.

Put simply, this add-on is a complete FPS eater and nightmare which means it is almost un-flyable!!!! 

Same as all your other products like the 757 base. Both bought, both uninstalled after one load up.

£60.00p down the drain. So unhappy.

Concentrate on Frames next time, although there wont be a next time for me.

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS are provided for general information.
Obviously we cannot so we do not provide some magic "best for all" setup info because all computers are different.

Yep, I've just found exactly the same thing, with Base Pack 1.1.  On FSX SP1 I was getting 3-5 FPS , even with sliders well down. Now on FSX SP2 I'm getting 15-20 FPS with sliders fairly well up.
