Frames Per Second

 

Martin. I have figered why defrag wont work. It is because I am to INPATIENT!!!!! It took hours and hours. It was stuck on 50% for an hour itself and then when it got to 56% about 45 minutes so in the end it does work. Sorry for that. XP doesn't take one tenth as long as Vista!!! Thats why I thought it never worked. Im an idiot ..

 

While I defragged my vista HDD I did my XP one after it to. I am going to load everything up on XP first before uninstalling from Vista. Last time I uninstalled FS - century of flight their was a problem with the disk and I ended up buying a new copy. I have also scaned disks on both operating systems. XP took a short time but I had to have the Vista drive on over night. I couldn't believe it.

I dont run any anti virus other than Vistas own. I had problems with Norton and McAfee. I thoguht they were both rubbish.

 

Thanks Ross for your input. As I said. I am going to reinstalled FSX then play it. Then the update then the add-ons Ill let you know what FPS I am getting on every one. On the same route same plane same settings once I have done it.

 

Vulcan, vulcan! You keep shooting these myths down. .. They heighten my spirted when something else is mentioned that could make all the difference. .. Ill try anything if it sounds it will work.

Also Vulcan what is AV? I don't know what that is. And Martin I will get an adware program :)

 

I am using the updated driver downloaded for my P5B, GPU and FSX Also I have messed with the settings on the FSX page when it first loads up. You know, the graphics / traffic / scenary settings etc. Unsure what you mean when you say FSX CFG?????

 

Yes I have uninstalled the old drivers first :).

 

Cheers

http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=main/feature/corner12.htm   this review of FS-GS also makes reference to FSAutostart by Ken Salter (read the narrative on AVSIM) which is freeware and the 2nd most downloaded utility on AVSIM for FS2004.

 

Read the entire site, and the reviews on AVSIM and Flightsim.com (above) - very interesting, but you have to follow meticulously what you learn if you decide to engage in the process with the guy responsible.  Read the forums too as there are some very interesting discussions on there.

 

My friend who works for Tesco on the IT side has said this to me previously.  Whilst FPS is the way we measure what is projected in front of us, it all comes down to what else the PC is doing when we want its full attention to be on our Sim.  It doesnt matter how much power (CPU, GPU, PSU, RAM etc.) we have in our PC as the amount of stuff we have running (usually unitensionally) on there will always cause stutters no matter what.  In addition, the hardware may not be running perfectly tuned to one another and this is something that is looked at too I believe.

 

FS-GS website calls the process "System Unification".  Some of the testimonials and the forum mention that there wasnt a massive increase in frames per second, BUT that the Sim was so much smoother all round because of the changes made.  Obviously they have decent systems like we all have now, but they squeezed so much more out of it's untapped potential without overclocking, or so it seems anyway.

 

Has anyone read about this before?  Do correct what i have posted above if need be, interested to read what other people think.

 

Starting to get annoyed with downloaded products. They seem a lot of messing about and might be better just to wait to recieve the boxed version in future.

 

There must be have been something really really corrupting my system to do that. I mean before I was only getting 5 - 10FPS now look at the amazing increase.

 

If Vulcan and Martin W are reading I would like to say a massive thanks to both of them. Martin must be really annoyed with me by now .

 

Cheers all
