FS2004 FPS & Stutters

Hello all,

 

I'm having a few problems with FPS dropping and stutters which are getting quite annoying, even on low settings. At UK2000 airports the FPS are all over the place. I have it locked at 30fps but they will drop as low as 19fps - The fps are quite erratic and go from 30 to 19 to 24 and so on. My system used to run fine no FPS hit at any UK2000 airports until I installed FS2004 for the 3rd time.

 

Specs aren't the greatest:

Windows Vista 32bit - 3GB RAM

Q6600 @ 2.4GHz

9300GS

 

I know it's not a fantastic system but I think it should be running FS a little better than it is doing. Without FS2004 running CPU is running around 10% with a maximum of 20% - Memory is running at 1.26GB. When I open FS (windowed) it's running at 410,000k in the processes, 2nd is Firefox at 150,000k and 3rd is svchost at 75,000k. I used to be able to run max settings (no 3D clouds) without any problems (including UK2000) - Also, whenever somebody leaves the session on Sqauwkbox now FS will freeze for a few seconds!

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Sam
