MS FSX

I am having terrible trouble with the frame rate on this sim. I recently installed it on a new HDD which has nothing more than the OS which is Win 7 Ultimate 64bit so no antivirus to affect things.

I get 2FPS and that is even with all the settings on the lowest.

Any ideas??

You can see my system specs in the signature strip.

If i hit shift-Z it shows the frame rate. I assume it is correct as it stutters like mad and as for the service pack yes it is installed.

My 2.4Ghz C2D laptop can manage 10fps at reasonably high settings with things like Orbx and their detailed strips in the PNW. Not sat at Heathrow with 100% AI traffic on are you?

No, like i say i have all settings at lowest.

Thanks for that, it worked a treat as i am now grtting roughly 50 to 70 FPS.

Well the frame rate seems fluid smooth now and i am not using an external limiter and have set the sim frame rate to unlimited so if the sim frame rate indicator is not accurate then fair enough.

So i am now happy with my sim and hope it keeps that way.
