hi there

i just got a new computer a few days ago so after reading your posts i need some advice ,..do i need to have this Nhancer programe  for my ndivia card?
the problem is i know next to nothing about computers i only know how to do a download here and there so im affraid to start doing tweeks and mess up everything.
MY fsx runs  good im only having some issues like the scenario sometimes looks kind of blurry and everytime i put in the outside view on the plane it lags a bit.
Do you thing getting this nhancer will fix issues like this?

Thanks

Ricky

If you are feeling unsure or worried then I would recommend not doing anything at all. Try looking around these forums and other sites and read what tohers have done and learn a bit more before tweeking your own system. If you want some hands on experience follow some of NickN's stickies dot for dot and it should keep you out of trouble. He is our computer guru and is much loved on these forums for his knowledge.

The problem your describing sounds as though the textures aren't loading fast enough, causing the lag and blurries. Have you tried defragging your hard drive? THis may help a little but the main problem would be your system isn't fast enough to handle all of the textures.

http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2 ... 1197380641 this thread should get you started nicely. It has instructions on how to set up FSX properly and also how to defrag. There is a section for XP in there, and I would recommend you skip it if you are using vista except for the part about defragging as it applies to both. If you don't understand anything in the thread post a thread in the FSX section and we'll be able to help you out

THS for the replying guys.
Just got another question,..my computer specs are.

AMD ATHLON x2 4800
Dual core Processor
Memory
3GB
Hard Drive
320 GB
Nvidia Geforce 6150 SE

do you guys thing if i was to get a NDivia 8800 will improve the graphics and stop the lagging?it laggs really bad only when i put in the outside view and gets worst when i do the instant replay.
Before i go and purchase this i will like some advice because i just bought the pc last week

thanks

Ricky

Anyone?

yes, it will help in your case but your main problem is the processor

That card will be much faster than the processor you run

The CPU is the primary drag on FSX with the video card second. In reality you need a Intel Core2 or Quad with the 8800GT but it will help you 'some'

Nick i finally used you Nhancer, and it worked, Thanks

Yes. Buy a 500 or 600w PSU and an 8800GT or GTX. I have the exact same computer and along with the new 8800GT and the nhancer and fsx.cfg tweaks I can max FSX (low weather and low traffic) with 21 FPS locked.
If you want details on your system check this out.
