alright, i have a new rig through dell's 10 days of deals. I have dual 9800 GT 512 mb cards, raptor HD at 10,000rpm, vista 64bit, 8 gig ram at 1033 mhz, and q9550 quad running 12mb cache and 2.8ghz. my question is that when i use the default aircraft i can run FSX at 30+fps with the sliders all at high with DirectX 10 preview, bloom, and flare checked off; when i switch to my Wilco CRJ i can only get 12 fps at best? is it wilco being unframe rate friendly or something else?

 

I am completly lost and any help is much appreciated.

Add-on aircraft are often far more complex than their default counterparts. I don't own that particular aircraft, so I can't speak from experience if what you're experiencing is normal. Just be aware that some add-ons are far harder on your computer than others and may require you to reduce your FS settings to compensate for the extra requirements.

 

That said, do you have SP1 and SP2 for FS installed?
