Works great, thanks!

That'd be wonderful, thank you! I verify it's running just by seeing it pop up in my system tray.

Unfortunately, that does not work. I deselected the checkbox at the end of the install process and still get a splash screen using simply the MSFS desktop icon. Any chance you have any other suggestions?

I'd also love to see a way to disable the splash screen. Starting MSFS using the MSFS icon (rather than FSUIPC7) or start menu entry still brings up the screen for me. Thanks.

Thank you for the replies. I do not have a registered copy of FSUIPC, and no assignments. I am not using WideFS either. Renaming FSUIPC.ini seemed to have no effect. Unfortunately, setting 30 FPS does not create a fluid experience at all, it seems that panning around and taxiing around is an even larger series of stutters. 60 has seemed to be ideal for me. Without FSUIPC installed, with the default C172, panning around KSEA, I'm able to maintain between 59 and 60 FPS. With unlimited selected, I can maintain about 110 FPS. Even with my old install, I could consistently see about 50-100 in almost all scenarios (locked at 60 though). K.S.

Hello all, Over the past week, I have finally gotten fed up with FS9 microstutters I've been experiencing for quite some time on my relatively new machine. Setting almost all of my FS settings to minimal and still seeing the same stuttering every 5-10 seconds pushed me over the edge for a full reinstall. After installing the bare bones FS9 and 9.1 patch, no stutters existed; I thought I was off to a good start. With defrags and reboots, I was ready for reinstalling my addons. The next item I installed was FSUIPC (the freeware version). Loading FS9, I was surprised the stutters had already come back. These are most notable when I'm taxiing and staring at a taxiway sign, it jumps as it moves by my plane, it's not fluid. Panning around the aircraft in spot view also reveals these stutters, I'll see the sim stutter at least once per revolution around my plane. Looking at the ground below during flight also reveals these stutters, as objects seem to "pop" by under my moving aircraft. Trying to troubleshoot, I removed FSUIPC and rebooted my computer. Reloading FS, the same stutters were gone. Is there a chance someone might have some insight on any kind of settings within FSUIPC that may be causing this? I literally have no other addons installed at this point, just FS9.1 and FSUIPC. My internal FS9 settings are generally mid-to-high end with FPS locked at 60 FPS (refresh rate of my monitor).
