Hey I was looking on the News section in flight sim and found this program called "AlacrityPC" It is suppose to automatically shut down unneeded background tasks. I was just wondering if any one has heard of it and knows if it works good?

There are a couple of programs out there that you can use to autostart FS and at the same time it shuts down uneeded programs - and then restarts them when you exit FS.
I prefer (don't use anymore) one called FSAutostart

Never heard of AlacrityPC - but I'm sure it's the same.
If your FS is running that bad that you need to shutdown other programs - maybe a different fix.
I noticed a little difference, but not as much to make me think that it was really helping me out.

Yeah it is a good program.
FWIW, both are made by Ken Salter - with AlacrityPC being the the newer release, as far as i know.

Kyle - what do you mean? AS should run with FS9 - period. It is not tied to any add on scenery or anything else like that.
Can you be more specific?

AvtiveSky doesnt Auto start with FS9 for me so i always have to manually open it (Unless there is a way to have it auto start). Brian I have the new version of slc. I have it set as priority #1, if i drop the priority down could that help?
