JAG007

Well Pete u clearly know a hell of a lot about FS2004/2002/2000 And we could go on forever. But im gonna have a good go at everything u have said and try my best to get things running AOK. Have a good flight JAG007 Juan :) :) :) :) :)

Ok I did I quick flight around Bristil Airport. If I go into the FSUIPC DIALOG BOX OR EVEN any of the FS2004 pulldowns when ever I go back to the sim it basically stays pretty smooth for about 3 mins or so. There is definately a change in smoothness when u go back into the sim. Im using 1GB Memeory Running Windows XP pro . I am using the PMDG 737NG AND ALSO THE pss Dash 8 . To be honest I havent even tried the good old 737 that u get with FS2004. Might see what happens with that. Actually I was observing all of this without AS2004 even running. I know the manual says to set all FSUIPC settings to default. It says you can play about with the smoothness of visability but just now it looks fine if I ever have to use AS2004. The only reason I was looking at the Frame rate per second was for info only. Smoothness im sure is what the eye sees as something that is constant. Whether its at 12 fps or 35. Once your eye gets used to seeing the same frame rate it will eventually look smooth. However Im not exactly to sure what to be doing with my frame rate slider. Some people have it here and there and every where. I tried 30fps.... then Unlimited but I would have to look into this more to actually see which is best for the flying and my pc. Im on the case Regards Juan

Peter, Your absolutley right its not FSUIPC . Even if I go into any of the other pull downs and then simply go back to FS2004 it runs just as smooth. The the problem if any lies some where else. I guess when you pause or just go to one of the menus the PC/FS2004 ALL HAVE TIME TO THINK/CALM DOWN AND catch up. Then obviously when the sim starts again everything is smooth. Im not really complainging that things are un fly able I just noticed a real smooth ness after coming out of FSUIPC . But as I can see its not the problem. Thankyou very much for replying so quickly. Kinda makes me wanna play about with things in FS2004 TO TRY AND GET THINGS PERFECT. bUT THAT i THINK Ill be doing for a long time. I use AS2004 THE WEATHER generator program. Im never to sure what to se with this in FSUIPC although Im gonna go check the manual as im sure theres something there coving it.However saying that theres no dam clouds anyway when I start and still it gets a tad laggy. My Frame rate was set at 30. Im reduced it to 25FPS. tO BE HONEST i COULD DO WITH SOME PROGRAM THAT MONITORES fs2004 fps FOR set flights eg Heathrow to Glasgow and keep doing them to see how well they perform. Now of any such Program ??? Once Again Thankyou very much for the quick reply Regards Juan :D

:D Hi there , Theres something ive just found out by playing about with FS2004.Once the sim is loaded and running everything is I guess ok. However I noticed that when I went into the FSUIPC module and well not even changed anything and then simply came back into FS2004 the frame rates had dramaticlly increased. Itw as so smooth. However this doesnt seem to last a long time. Im not sure theres a reason for FSUIPC doing this and as I dont know much about PC HARDware and access times to bus bars and all that kinda stuff im just wondering if it might be related to how the PC uses FSUIPC . Its starnge because once youve seen how smooth the sim can fly just by simply looking into FSUIPC you kinda wanna do it every 5 mins or less all the time. Have u any ideas why it behaves like this :?
