Hey all...
I really have some problems making the enviroment to run smootly in fs9... I have several addon scenery`s, like Simflyers airports etc.... But I cant adjust my display options to make everything run smooth.... Any ideas to what settings I should use? windowed/full screen? any tweak programs to use to make it better?
Here is the system Im running on( ....not the best, but fair enough I belive..)
Fs9 with latest patch
several simflyers addons( KATL,KPHX etc)
the pc:
Intel P4 2,6 GHZ
1GB RAM
Nvidia FX5200 128MB DDR
btw: I see the computer load is around 100% everytime I run fs9, but RAM usage is low...
Thanx
Helge...

The first thing I need to know is your display settings in FS2004. Second, I need to know what nVidia drivers you are using, and have you modified driver settings? Third, your resource usage concerns me. Is that a constant value, or only present in FS?
As for the environment, is it only bad around your Simflyers airports, or is it constant? In spot view, do you notice an improvement if you are looking more at the sky than the ground?
Your PC should be enough to run FS2004 well.

Hey Michael...
First of all, im using driver version 6.14.10.4523, and I dont think I have modified any of the driver settings.
The resource usage is only so high when I start fs...I dont have any problems with cpu usage when im not running fs. But the strange thing is when I just idle on the "create flight" screen, the cpu usage is around 70-80.... Just by looking at the beautifull Delta boeing 767.... and that is strange....
The display settings is set to default in fs that means global settings : high on scenery, planes & weather.... on the hardware tab default is frame rate 20, 800*600*32, global map texture size: high....
When it comes to sceneries it runs much smoother with the default fs9 sceneries than with the addon simflyers sceneries....If I set the scenery settings to minimal when im on KATL (simflyers) it runs okay.... And I must do this on the other addon sceneries I have aswell to make it run smooth....
At spot view it gets slower when im looking at buildings etc, not so slow when its not any buildings or looking in the sky, but its not smoooth either... But worst on buildings....
It seems like Im having mostly problems when on addon airports, but it concerns me that the cpu usage is so high even when im idling in fs....
Helge
