Here are the specs, and i am running fs9 with the FSP lock at 30.
1 Cooler Master / Gemini II / Socket 775/939/754/AM2 / Copper Core/Heatpipe / CPU Heat Sink
3 Diablotek F12025BU 120MM Blue LED Case Fan
EVGA GeForce 9600 GT 1GB PCIe w/Dual Link DVI
4 GB of PNY 1024MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Memory
Hitachi 500GB Serial ATA HD 7200/16MB/SATA-3G
Xilence XP600 600-Watt Gaming Edition - ATX, 135mm Fan, SLI-Ready, CrossFire Ready, SATA-Ready
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ Black Edition Socket AM2
Windows XP Pro 32 Bit
I have tried everything to try to atleast get a small improvement, but nothing. I also have ultimate defrag and still no help...
I originally bought this computer for FSX but switched to 9 because of the lack off add ons. In fsx I actually got better frames which is really weird. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Can't see why you are, try NickN's suggestions, they exist for both FS9 and FSX.

Ya, I did all that stuff. Even the Nhancer. I just don't understand what the problem is. My system is great, yet I still get terrible FPS and lag....

turn sound off gives you another 3-5 fps.
have you updated to FS9.1?
Are you using SP3 for XP?
Is you screen resolution = in FS and your system? Meaning for example 1024x768 on both?

steve, if you are using 3d clouds try turning them off. 3d clouds are the biggest framerate eaters in fs9 that i have ever encountered.

Robert, if I did that FS9 would look terrible. Thats not even an option for me. I wonder if its the card? Anyone here using the EVGA 1024mb 9600GT? Could it be the processor/motherboard? I hear people with like 9800GTX's and they get great FPS without a problem in fs9...maybe the 9600GT just isnt the right fit for FS9 for some reason. I have no clue tho...any help would be great

Umm Try running in Fullscreen? Oddly enough, in FSX it increases my FPS.

A couple of things to try to see if it has any impact on your frame rates.
* Lower the amount of AI Traffic
* Uncheck "Extended Terrain Textures" under the Settings-->Display Menu.

Uncheck Scenery Shadows. Improves your FPS in over 40%.

Try uninstalling your graphics driver and reinstalling. I had a similar problem, I tried tweaking everything for better framerates and lost the edge. A clean install of graphics driver may help.

You could try and lower the graphics quality and reduce the AI traffic and scenery and buildings. The planes and sutff may look blurry but it might increase your FPS.
