  1. Pete Once again thanks for the assist on this one. I did as you suggested and I removed the simconnect file from windows and ran the repair utility for FSX. I repeated the steps that I have done all before this and viola I now have fps rates in the 20 range again. The reinstall seems to have done the trick. I did try to get a log but it did not work for the simconnect. Many thanks Don :)
  2. Pete I have done some testing and I have some results for you that you may find interesting. On the first test FSUIPC4 was installed in FSX and Mcafee Total protection 2007 installed. Activesky version 6.5 also installed and activated.

It did not seem to matter if I had Mcafee's installed or not the results were the same. It also didnt seem to matter whether I was using an addon or not .With Mcafee installed or uninstalled and FSUIPC4 Module folder removed from FSX and using real weather of overcast and snow at the location I was at, I consistantly got in the 20 FPS range. As soon as I added the module folder back into FSX I experienced the 4-5 FPS range. In test 2 FSX and activesky did communicate with each other and the weather was set by activesky using FSX graphics. I hope the above print outs help you figure out what is going on here. Thanks Don
  3. Pete Thanks for the quick responce. I dont mean to pick on FSUIPC4 however I felt the need to bring my experience to your attention in hopes of finding a solution. The point of my post was to let you know that without any addons just installing FSUIPC4 caused my FSX performance to go from 20 FPS average to around 3-4 FPS average. This is consistant no matter where I start up from. It may very well be a FSX microsoft problem I dont know. All I know is that unless a solution is found I wont be able to use FSUIPC4 or any addons. For your info I have Mcafee install version 2007. Don
  4. Merry Christmas all and yes I got FSX for christmas. At this stage Im not prepared to wipe FS9 off my hard drive just yet. From reading the threads I see that there have been some problems with FSX and FSUIPC4. I have one also that seems a little different. After doing a flawless install of FSX I then installed FSUIPC4 again with no problems. I checked the directory and sure enough saw the new modules folder in FSX placed there by the FSUIPC4 install. I use activesky and upgraded to version 6.5 using default settings. I launched activesky and then FSX and the 2 programs communicated with each other perfectly. However I noted a huge reduction in my frame rate average going from 20 to 3 fps. I then closed both programs and fired up FSX by itself and went to same start location that I was consisting getting 20 fps and again I was still getting an average of 3 fps. I physically removed the modules folder from FSX and then started FSX again and voila I had my 20 FPS back again at the same location. I then shut down my anitvirus and firewall software and put the module folder back in FSX and the result was 3 FPS again with nothing else running. I am not using any startup programs like autostart and at this point I dont know what else to try. The simconnect seems to be working but something is causing the process to go to a crawl. What I cant understand is that no addon programs are running and still I get the slowdown just by having the module folder in FSX Any suggestions are most appreciated. Don :?
