Each time I get on the simulator, it starts out fine and then starts to get jerky. The flight stops for a split second and then returns to normal. What are some suggestions in fixing the problem? I would appreciate any help out there. thanks.

Not enough information. As you see from the PRC there is more than one pilot client that you can use. We need to know which pilot client you're running. Also other addons can affect your performance. Your firewall/antivirus programs will have some effect.

 

It wouldn't hurt to know other things about your setup such as your hardware, OS and drivers.

For FSInn/VATSIM issues, please test the FSInn Installation sticky and linked FAQ. It really works!

I'm having similar problems.

 

Just got FSX Deluxe Edition and tried it out. I cannot run any settings higher than about "Low" or at the maximum "Medium Low" without the program lagging significantly.

 

As for my PC specs:

2.93GHz Pentium 4

1MB L2 Cache (dunno how what this does if anything at all)

120GB Hard Drive

Integrated Intel GMA 900 Graphics with up to 128MB dynamic video memory.

 

Tried SP1 for FSX. There is some slight improvement, but hardly noticeable really.

 

After playing the game and exiting it, my computer gives me the following warning message:

 

"Windows Virtual Memory Critically Low - Windows is attempting to boost/increase local RAM".

 

Would a 256MB Graphics card do? Or should I push for a 512MB?

 

Would appreciate the help.

 

Cheers

 

Russ

If you are not the solution, you are the problem!
