Shall I assume that all 5.4 Pro models are FSX ACCEL native, and that the performance models are always going to provide better performance?  I still need to keep all traffic at about 16% using basic models, otherwise I get a large stutter when I fly into the "bubble" while the AI regenerates?

I have all gates off, all airport vehicles off, and I'm using performance aircraft models.

Am I making sense?

If you have an i7 2600k and a gtx560 you should not be getting stutters at 16% on basic models, I have an Amd phonom x4 and 2 ati 4850's and my pc is quite outdated and yours looks a lot better, FSX relies on the CPU a lot more then the Gpu so I can run my traffic on same settings with yours except it easily works on 100% traffic with widescreen models, if you can only run with 16% with all "eye candy" settings off then something is seriously wrong...

Before we can make any judgement, we need much more detailed information, such as the details of your hardware, all installed addons that can affect the area you speak about, and most of all which area you call "the bubble".

Thank you friends....

My reference is flying from one of the outer islands in default Hawaii towards Honolulu, but it could be anywhere towards a large airport.

Further than approx. 80 miles out from a major hub or large airport there are few AI planes listed in the AI plane drop down menu.

At 75-80 miles out from a major hub or large airport, the AI planes menu usually fills up, and that's when my computer stutters heavily for approx. 5-7 seconds.

I call the "bubble" the area about 75-80 miles away from a major airport where the AI plane menu fills up.

I normally use 16% as commercial traffic, and 21% as GA traffic.

My computer: 2600k, gtx 560 Ti, 8 gigs memory.

I spend alot of my flight time within ORBX scenery areas, flying smoothly at 30 fps.

I understand correctly that after these 5-7 bumpy seconds it gets smooth again? In this case it is the disk activity that slows you down. When you fly out again and come back does it stutter again. The files should be cached then, so if we consider the disk as problem it should not happen again.

At that distance you really enter the reality bubble, but to my understanding the models don't get loaded as early.

Hello and thank you.  I'll try flying out and flying back in to check the cache status.  I'm unsure of what any information will accomplish, but I'm willing to experiment in order to increase my AI traffic levels.
