Jumpy SImulation

[Paintwagon]

I recently got FSX and I can't get the simulation screen from jumping. I have FS4 and the simulation is very smooth. What display settings will fix this jumpiness?? Any ideas??

wow, FS4   well this may help.  FS4 is 6 versions BEHIND FSX   I highly doubt you have the right computer if your still useing FS4.  Post your system specs and we will see what we have to work with.

I meant FS 2004. I have a Dell310 with a Pentium 4, 2.8 Ghx processor, 80 gig hard drive, and recently upgraded to 2048MB (2 gig) of memory. I have an Intel (r) 82915g/gv/910gl video card.

Well, without getting too detailed:

This is purely the nature of the beast.

You need a new graphics card, that one is an onboard, How old is the system? AGP is old, PCI-E is new

Does everyone agree that I need a new graphic card or is there a setting that can help this problem??

[Bird-Nerd]

try tweeking it. I don't even have a pentium 3 and it runs smoothly for me. but then again I do have an nvidia graphics card installed so now that I think about it go with the graphics card. scratch that first part. And an external hardrive if youre running out of space, which i guess is impossible with an 80 gig drive, and I should just stop now before i get a worse head ache.

Sounds like an onboard graphics chip...so you DEFINATELY need a graphics card.

On top of that, you need to upgrade your processor. If you want to fully enjoy FSX, not only will you need at least a 3.2 GHz processor but you also need at least a DX9-based video card with at least 128MB of memory.

My rig is almost the same as yours, only that it has a video card [which is not DX9-based]. Go to the following link for an example:

Yea, you need to upgrade if you want better performance. Tweeks wont fix slow hardware unfortunatly  :-/

...And an external hardrive if youre running out of space, which i guess is impossible with an 80 gig drive,...

After I got my new computer i had 80 gigs filled within a couple days  ;D  :P  I have a 300 gig and and trying my darnest  ;D I have about 100 gigs now. But i have ALOT of pictures and make double files when editing.  :D [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
