I see you have the same chip and the same amount of RAM as me. I tried to overclock to just a skosh above stock, but it failed. How do you do it? I use one of those Zalman "sunflower" coolers. I can't see the chip overheating. It runs at about one hundred degrees. That's nothing, right? I'd like to get to 3.2GHz. That's not a great leap forward, but it would help to run FSX. At least I think it would. I have to wait for several moments for FSX to load all its goodies. My screen stays black until about 82% of the scenery files have loaded, then my screen comes up.

To tell you the truth....I CHEATED...a friend of mine works for geeksquad and he hooked me up. I had him overclock my cpu so honestly i really couldnt help u there cuz i just dont know. I know to be able to overclock you need a motherboard that is capable of doing it and i know that 100 degrees is ok...but i wouldnt let it get any hotter. With a cpu fan somewhere between 70-90 degrees is good, 100 is what ide call max, but if you got a better cpu cooler, you could get more out of it

ex: This is a good one.

im thinkin bout gettin it and tryin to overcock a little more

Concerning your throttle problem, could it be an hardware issue within your joystick ?
I mean, try to unplug completely your joysitck, and manipulate the plane throttle only with the keyboard keys, that is F1 => F4, and see if the problem still occurs while the joystick is unplugged.

I hope you mean Fahrenheit. 99% of hardware guides are in Celsius so you may want to change it to C.

There's plenty of guides online for overclocking AMD chips.

Im pretty sure its not a joystick problem because almost all other planes work, its just ones with auto burner like the IRIS F-14 & Alpha XB-70 that the throttle sticks but i will try that and see what happens

Ah ! For the IRIS newly freeware planes (like the strike eagle and the tomcat), you'll have (mandatory) to disable one gauge that handles the throttle, because it's problematic in FSX. I don't remember the exact name, though...

But its not the freeware one, i bought it for fsx like 2 years ago and everything was fine, but when i installed acceleration then this thing with the sticking throttle started happening. SP1 was fine, so was SP2 but acceleration the throttle sticks...

The IRIS F-14 Tomcat is now freeware, just like the F-15 Eagle, Strike Eagle, and many other FS9 planes they made

I took a look in the F-15 strike Eagle panel.cfg, the gauge that you must comment is:

Code: Select all

gauge02=F15E_Gauges!Afterburner FDC,  1,1,20,20

Just put a '//' sign in front of the line, like this:

Code: Select all

//gauge02=F15E_Gauges!Afterburner FDC,  1,1,20,20

The F-14 gauge has a similar name I believe. I have deleted the name so I don't remember exactely, but you should find it easilly, it has a name that is linked to the throttle or the afterburner.

Ah my mistake, I didn't know that IRIS had made a FSX-native Tomcat.
Ok then, that's strange...
