Robert Bressert Posted March 23, 2010 at 02:32 PM Posted March 23, 2010 at 02:32 PM On Saturday (20th), I flew three 2 hour flights, and FSX loaded up and ran normally. I didn't use the computer on Sunday except to check Email, and surf news sites. Yesterday I tried to load up FSX and it took forever to load up. Once it did, my frame rates were 2,3 fps. Really slow. I rebooted the computer and ran FSX several times but the same results. I haven't loaded any software are made any changes to any files. Has this happened to anyone? Does anyone have any suggestions how I could diagnose this? I thought about restoring XP to a Saturday restore point. I certainly cannot fly the way FSX is running right now. I'm grounded!!!!

Robert Bressert Posted March 23, 2010 at 05:34 PM Author Posted March 23, 2010 at 05:34 PM I don't know if the pseudo-Fsinn update notification has anything to do with this. This notification started about two weeks ago every time I'd open FSINN Control Panel in FSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Bressert Posted March 24, 2010 at 02:50 AM Author Posted March 24, 2010 at 02:50 AM Well, today, with no changes on my part, FSX is running normally! Sometimes, I'll tell ya', I just want to pull my hair out! But, it's working, that's the important thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrol Larrok 1140797 Posted March 24, 2010 at 02:58 AM Posted March 24, 2010 at 02:58 AM FSX often gives me unusable frames for no apparent reason. Usually a reboot fixes it. Remember to disable anti-virus before running FSX, and if possible start your add-on planes as cold and dark. I don't know why, but when I don't I get bad frame.

Robert Bressert Posted March 24, 2010 at 07:37 PM Author Posted March 24, 2010 at 07:37 PM FSX often gives me unusable frames for no apparent reason. Tell me about it! Right after I reported in this thread that FSX was running normallyagain I took off from KDEN for KORD. Everything was running fine until I was landing. On a visual approach to KORD I had to juice the throttles a bit before touching down when all of a sudden I got the stutters and then a brief freeze. The plane crashed! I was so bummed. Almost two hours in flight and then to end that way! On another note....what's this about disabling anti-virus? How is a computer protected when anti-virus is off?

Hunter Belanger 1129358 Posted March 24, 2010 at 10:49 PM Posted March 24, 2010 at 10:49 PM This hapens to me a lot. I downloaded FSX Acelleration and it was so bad I coulden't do anything so I uninstaled it. It got better but I still had trouble so I deleted all my addon aircraft and scenery I didn't want and it whent back to normal!! if you have any free addon things I would get rid of them.

Robert Bressert Posted March 25, 2010 at 10:12 PM Author Posted March 25, 2010 at 10:12 PM I don't have Acceleration installed. Graphics Card doesn't support it. Addons? A couple of airports. KORD. KSEA. KSTL. KCVG. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Bressert Posted March 31, 2010 at 02:00 PM Author Posted March 31, 2010 at 02:00 PM Well, I hated to do it, but I uninstalled FSX and installed FS9. Now to find the updates to airports, fine tune things, etc. I really like FSX better, but it was just acting up too badly especially when landing. I will go back to FSX when I purchase a better computer. Thanks for all your input folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry James 901346 Posted June 19, 2010 at 01:29 PM Posted June 19, 2010 at 01:29 PM I don't know if the pseudo-Fsinn update notification has anything to do with this. This notification started about two weeks ago every time I'd open FSINN Control Panel in FSX. Hi, Robert. I used to have days (or sessions) where FSX would crawl when connected to VATSIM and other sessions worked fine. Performing the steps provided in the FSInn/VATSIM FAQ (linked in the FSInn Installation sticky in the FSInn Help forum) for performance resolved that issue for me. I believe some of the problems had to do with the amount of connections (some of planes might have been a hundred miles out of visual range, but they affected performance). I don't know if the pseudo-Fsinn update notification has anything to do with this. This notification started about two weeks ago every time I'd open FSINN Control Panel in FSX. This annoyance also affects your performance. It’s also addressed in the FAQ. You might best read the short list of questions to see which ones might apply to the annoyances you’re having and let us know the results. -- L. James -- L. D. James [email protected] www.apollo3.com/~ljames sticky: Not a regular post, but a special thread/message stuck to the top with special meaning… containing important forum information. For FSInn/VATSIM issues, please test the FSInn Installation sticky and linked FAQ. It really works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charan Kumar Posted June 19, 2010 at 04:56 PM Posted June 19, 2010 at 04:56 PM Robert, the airport vehicles range affects FPS extremely. They don't come into view until you get close enuf to the airport and after that they are a night mare. Before I did all the tuning, even my system which is a farily decent one could not handle the airport vehicles (and also road vehicles in general) When is your next Flight||VATSIM HitSquad Member, ZOA/ZAK/GANDER/P1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
