Jumpy SImulation
Posted: Tue Dec 26, 2006 5:16 pmI recently got FSX and I can't get the simulation screen from jumping. I have FS4 and the simulation is very smooth. What display settings will fix this jumpiness?? Any ideas??

Posted: Tue Dec 26, 2006 6:07 pmwow, FS4 well this may help. FS4 is 6 versions BEHIND FSX I highly doubt you have the right computer if your still useing FS4. Post your system specs and we will see what we have to work with.

Posted: Tue Dec 26, 2006 9:14 pmI meant FS 2004. I have a Dell310 with a Pentium 4, 2.8 Ghx processor, 80 gig hard drive, and recently upgraded to 2048MB (2 gig) of memory. I have an Intel (r) 82915g/gv/910gl video card.

Re: Jumpy SImulation
Posted: Wed Dec 27, 2006 4:36 pmtry tweeking it. I don't even have a pentium 3 and it runs smoothly for me. but then again I do have an nvidia graphics card installed so now that I think about it go with the graphics card. scratch that first part. And an external hardrive if youre running out of space, which i guess is impossible with an 80 gig drive, and I should just stop now before i get a worse head ache.

Posted: Wed Dec 27, 2006 5:41 pmSounds like an onboard graphics chip...so you DEFINATELY need a graphics card.
Re: Jumpy SImulation
Posted: Wed Dec 27, 2006 8:50 pmOn top of that, you need to upgrade your processor. If you want to fully enjoy FSX, not only will you need at least a 3.2 GHz processor but you also need at least a DX9-based video card with at least 128MB of memory.
My rig is almost the same as yours, only that it has a video card [which is not DX9-based]. Go to the following link for an example:
