Mark,

That's very helpful - many thanks.  Funny, I have been flying her around a bit with those switches in the VERTICAL position and have not lost the avionics power. What do you figure . .  will do it your way though from now on and report back any findings. 

Also, your advice elsewhere on how to manage the AP sorted me out.

It is possible. FSX is CPU intensive which could lead to you CPU getting hot, even more so if it is Overclocked as well. O/C CPU generates more heat than at the normal clock speed so IF that is the problem, it could be worth reducing the CPU clock seep just a bit. OR get a better cooling system like the Corsair H series.

I am seriously considering the Hydro Series™ H80 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler as a way to OC CPU without the worry of it getting too hot. Whether I get a new i7 2600K CPU and motherboard first remains to be seen.

You will not regret it. I have been running a liquid cooled Quad Core processor for 2 years and never had a CSD, FPS hickup.  The other night I did a little adjusting of the "Set Affinity" controls. I seen somewhere how to adjust the settings. It seems crazy but if you start FSX and the open the task manager to reveal the Affinity controls and delselect all 4 processors then click on only one then closing it assigns one processor, then you re-open it and reassign all the CPU's.  For some reason my frame rates go off the charts resulting in smooth running FSX. Now, I will tell you that I dropped my FPS to 24 frames as the real human eye can not detect anything above 22 FPS.  OPPS! I just drifted of subject.

It was my fault you went "off topic" because I was the one who mentioned the Hydro Series™ H80. Grin
I had considered changing the Affinity settings, but never actually done it. There is a lot that can be done to help get FSX to perform better, but I just haven't done them all. I get pretty good results with my current system as long as the sliders are not all set to maximum because I know my system isn't one of those whiz-bang-super-duper ones.

The two switches (enclosed in the yellow box) in my attached image are placed into the HORZONTAL position - to the ESSENTIAL AC BUS, once all my engines are up and running. It could be worth giving that a try. I vaguely remember having the same problem when I first got the CS C-130 X-perience and that might have been how I overcame it.


cool cool! problem fixed also here! thanks a lot Mark Grin Grin Grin
