Pete--
I have been "wrestling" with a stutter/pause problem on liftoff. I have
included a copy of the message I posted to the FS2004 forum--
After reviewing the numerous tweeks/tips, I still experience somewhat
random stuttering. The test setup is takeoff, KLAX 25R, with the stock
737-400. After liftoff, there is marked stuttering until ~ 2000 feet (every second or so). The things I have tried include:
1) deleting the fs9.cfg
2) changing the hardware/display options (GF 4400)
3) windowed/full screen mode
4) eliminated background tasks, e.g. blackviper.com
5) updated the nvidia driver (and changed video cards)
6) tuned the registry via regcleaner
If I reset the flight and try again, perhaps 2 times out of ten the liftoff
will be smooth (no stutters). This also happens irrespective of the
weather theme. I do have the registered version of FSUIPC.
The system is a 2.2 GHz/1GB ram running XP Home.
After renaming fsuipc and rerunning FS9, the stuttering disappeared--this was with version 3.05. I have replaced it with 3.06 and all seems "well."
My questions are (1) have there been any other reports of similar behavior and (2) what's different about 3.06 that might account for the
resolution of the problem?
Thanks again for your time--
Robert
