Try downloading the service pack, here It may help with the Frame rates.

[VFC-183_Raven]

Ok thanks for that link its downloading now.Its a big file.

Ok specs are.

AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2500+
1.83GHZ,512 MB of RAM.

Tell me if you need more info.

Ram is probably killing you.  I am maintaining 20 FPS with 1 GB, but just barely.

I'm running a AMD X2 4200+, 2gigs rams, and a nividia 7900 GT and still have trouble at some spots getting above 20FPS

All the flight sims need tweaking for your personal best performance. It just takes time and trial and error


Good luck!  8-)

Thanks for the tips guys.I installed that program and change all my scenery aicraft graphix and traffric to medium high.It seems to be working.

You know what also helps?  Running FSX when you first boot up your computer.  I.e., don't boot up, go onto SimV for an hour and a half, then go to anet for two hours, etc.  before running FSX.  If you do, shut down the computer and let it rest for a while.

Ok illtry that too.Its still not working up to par.i just dont think its going to work on my computer.I am turning traffic off and graphics off and just leaveing scenery on ultra high and aircraft to mdium high and its still giving me low and "laggy" play.Its like it skips i know its fps's but i just dont know.At night it has no problem idk why it does during day hours and not night but its fine at night.

Edit:MFS2004 worked perfectly on my comp.NEVER had a problem.just letting ya know.

"Scenery" on ultra-high is not recommended for a system like yours. Medium high is the highest I'd set it to.

Ok.ill put it on medium scenery.does traffic graphics and plane detail not mess with FPS?

I have been messing around trying to find a cure.

Whilst it may not all be about FPS, a modicum of it is certainly needed to make the simulator at least enjoyable and usable.  The guy who started this thread was not someone on a power trip but a guy who is struggling and needs help.  Lets see his post again....

4-5fps is not going to be smooth by any means.  I`m so glad yours is doing the stuff for you but please don`t try and degenerate someones efforts to get there own working to some measure.  Or do you want this forum to be `I`m alright jack, stuff you`?  With your setup you should have it running a lot better than that anyway......

Traffic yes, airplane detail not really.
