[For those Having low FPS Issues.]

Michael

Thanks for your suggestion. I will give it a try.

@ Dan:

I have the E6850 too. I'd suggest that you put 2 more GB of RAM into your machine. Mine is running with 4 GB of RAM @ 3.6 GHz and the Airbus X performs very well on that system. I recognised a loss of FPS compared to V 1.11 but that was due to the improved refreshrate of the F/O ND and PFD. I changed these back to the values of V 1.11 and now the Airbus flies like charm. My settings within FSX are all pretty much on the right side, except traffic and cloud density. On Mega Airport Amsterdam I get stable 20-25 frames. Once airborne they increase to 30-50 FPS.

So, get yourself som more RAM and overclock your E6850 to 3.6 GHz, you will be amazed what this "old" system is able to do! ;-)

Greets,

Michael

[For those Having low FPS Issues.]

Hello

Please don't take this as a complaint. It is not, but I am searching for advice to make my Airbus x fly with decent FPS.

I get 20-30+ fps on the default fsx airbus (great) with sparse autogen and sliders set in the middle.

For the Aerosoft Airbus X (with autogen turned off sliders low) I get 20-30+ just after loading up sitting on the ground but

after takeoff it drops to 12 - 15fps. After I turn fps drops down to 8 – 12 fps.

During approach I get 5 - 8 fps compaired to the default FSX airbus I get 20 - 25fps. This low FPS makes it very hard to land

well.

All of this is at rural (small) airports with standard fsx scenery.

I own both the aerosoft F-16 and the Twotter and both are wonderful with no FPS issues. I also own the boxed PMDG 747X and get

a bit better FPS with this than the Airbus x.

I have an E6850 core two duo 3.00 GHz with 2gigs of memory and an Nvdia 8800 with 512m ram 1920/1200 resolution. I run vista

and have tweaked my settings for many hours with the advice I have found here and other places trying many to make this and

enjoyable experience. I have flown V1.0 and V2 and to me there is no difference for me in FPS. So far I have not found

success.

Some of my settings include: unlimited fps, no water effects, <20% airplane traffic, no road or boat traffic, detailed clouds

60mi distance, no shadows.

I have tried reinstalling it using Shaun’s suggestions, tried the suggestions in the manual, have an updated video driver, shut

down unnecessary programs, tweaking the video anti-aliasing ect.

Also I can’t exit the airbus x without FSX hard crashing. A smaller problem.

I want to like this plane a lot. It has my level of systems detail and it looks cool but I don't want to expend a lot more time

tweaking and not get the FPS up to where it is flyable. I would be happy if I had 15fps during approach in low scenery

environments but I cannot seem to get that.

Should I consider more ram or a quad core processor?

Any suggestion would be nice.

Best wishes
