Why my FS9 doesn't see an improvement in frame rates around addon scenery bases when I reduce detail settings? I have the UK2000 addon scenery and I'm only getting 9ish FPS around some of these bases, even when there's no AI or other traffic. The FPS is the same regardless of whether it's on full detail settings, or minimum. Elsehwere I get between 30 and 40 FPS, even on high settings.

I've also got a layer problem - the runways seem to flick rapidly between 2 different texture type.

I recently dragged my whole FS9 folder to a new drive and then deleted the programme off the old drive completely, and I've been very thorough about the deleting. FS9 runs fine from the new drive, but I can't help thinking the FPS rates around the addon scenery may be something to do with this.

Grrr. Any suggestions?

1: System specs?
2: Reinstall FS and all addons. I had a problem like this when I just dragged my FS onto a new drive. Things got lost along the way.
