I will check back after I get the system specs for my other computer.garymbuska wrote:Evan Popchock wrote:Does anybody know if there will be a fix for the low fps problem at Los Angeles International Airport on Flight Simulator X.

Slow frame rates can be caused by several problems. We need to know what are your systems specs.
Ways to improve frame rates in no certain order is
1) Add more RAM 32 bit windows can only see 4.2 gigs of ram.
2) Tweak the FSX cfg file by reducing the number of trees created and other items that can help with frame rates
3) Last on the list is to update your system this is the most expensive method
If you look at my signature and others who show there specs as part of there signatures you will see the types of systems that are being used
I updated my system 2 years ago at a cost of about $850.00 or so
I had to buy a new mother board/ A new power supply/ a new graphic card / a new CPU/ New RAM / and a new version of windows 64 bit
I have recently replaced my Video card with a newer model
I am able to run FSX maxed out with no problems
One thing I missed if your CPU is a multicore CPU do not for get there is a tweak that allows you to use all of the cores. It can make a difference

I would start considering some upgrades if you want to use high detail scenery with any success. There is no magic wand that will help your computer run the software any faster than it can. Add more RAM and upgrade your GPU. That should be the first step to help reduce the low FPS and stuttering. You will still struggle with such a weak processor though. FSX is heavily dependent on the CPU. A new processor wouldn't hurt, if you can get a faster clock speed with the same socket.
The only other option is to turn your sliders down until you get a stop to the stutters, but then you are going to have to deal with low res textures and bland scenery. It will also help to make sure you are not running any unnecessary programs or apps in the background on your computer while you are simming.
If you are running FSX in full screen, you can try it in Windowed mode. It does make a difference also.
Good luck
Return to Flight Simulator X (FSX) and Steam
