Sound breaks up

Postby tim l lam 10386 » Fri May 23, 2003 3:36 pm

I've been flying in ATC games for a while now with the following programs up and running:  FS2002 pro, Roger Wilco, ActiveSky wxRE.  When wxRE takes real weather and puts it in the sim, my sim slows down to around 11 or 15fps in a surrounding layer of scattered cumulus..  No problem..

However, my sound seems to be noticeably affected.  In the engine sounds, and any talk that's coming from RW, there are "clicks" that interupt all sounds.  Sounds like *click click click click click click click*..  It gets very annoying, and lags RW.

It seems directly affected by the framerates I get when I put real world weather on, and there are clouds of density in the vicinity.  I determined this because in an ATC game, I'd ask to "clear all weather", because it was getting way too intense, and frames were getting hit hard.

Is there a fix in the fs2002.cfg for this, or does anybody know what this is and why it does this?

:)Could you provide the specifics of the computer you are using? It sounds like that as you increasing your graphics usuage you are pushing your systems resources to the low side. You could try reducing some of your settings in Fs2002, so that you can find some type of balance.

omething goes wrong in my first answer. I know the problem. I upgrade my memory from 256mb to 512 mb but that was just a little better. I run "END IT ALL" AND THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED FOR 99%.If you can't find the program , let me know.
