FSX acceleration problem

Postby oompah » Wed May 11, 2011 5:34 am

I have a problem!

I have installed a Corsair Nova 128 SSD as a boot drive, and have followed advice regarding TRIM, AHCI etc , BUT (and there is always a but!) Microsoft Flight Sim (FSX) is playing up.

Every time I start FSX I am presented with the "acceleration" validate request, which accepts the code and we are off. However, if I pause FS, then the request is repeated, and I have to revalidate.

Two ideas pop up in my mind. Your Bios and your system settings.
HUH?
update your bios and make sure that your antivirus is either idle or turned off.
Get all the OEM's updates and be sure to update your Directx.
WHY?
FSX A runs at high F/S there for it will look for the shortest route to your RAM. Secondly, FSX does not want to be interfered with whilst running, so make sure your pc is clean of malware etc.
Running multiplayer, here's the issue, FSX wants access immediately, what i mean is that it doesnt want to wait for the next kb/s, so if you have a slow connection, it will bomb out.

Thanks for the ideas, but all is up to date.

I have also stripped out and reinstalled FSX and Accel. as per the words of wisdom.

Difficult to run off line as I explained, and I am reluctant to run with security switched off.

My feeling is that there must be one or more switches somewhere that limits the amount of time FSX will run (from zero to permanent) depending on the state of validation, but I don't know where it is.

Any other ideas?

OK, problem solved!

I found a set of three dll files which obviously contain the switches!
