Yes, you need to use FSAutostart to turn off all unnecessary background programs and services. The main hit comes just as you approach the Checkerboard, as you begin your right turn. Did loads of experiments and never managed to find the source. I thought it was to do with the water, the remaining default scenery, the addon buildings, static aircraft, static vehicle objects, the trees and the fences, but none of these individually solves the problem when removed.
I've even done a new version using XML but with the existing custom buildings. That still shows a similar problem, although not as bad. I thought that maybe because the buildings were made using EOD and not GMax they could be overly FR hungry, but if you point your view at the fire station and the complex buildings next to the RW13 threshold, you'll see your FR rise not fall, so that disproves that one.
Thomas Kwong had the same problem with his FS2000/2002 Kai Tak scenery. As it is I'm stumped unless anyone else has any ideas. When I can I'll issue my new version which helps solve some of the problem. I'd also like to know how the folks are getting on with the brand new version they are/were working on. Have they found a similar problem I wonder?
