wsuch Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Hi I have an issue when I install AUTO Save 1.5.0 with FS2004 V9.1, as soon as I install the dll into the modules folder I get a stutter in FS when flying roughly every 17 seconds then another 2 seconds after in a continuos loop, as soon as I remove the DLL all is well again, any body seen this issue Regards Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 I have an issue when I install AUTO Save 1.5.0 with FS2004 V9.1, as soon as I install the dll into the modules folder I get a stutter in FS when flying roughly every 17 seconds then another 2 seconds after in a continuos loop, as soon as I remove the DLL all is well again, any body seen this issue What is the AutoSave.CFG file set to do? i.e. how often is it saving files? Is it 17 seconds or so? Sounds rather frequent. Are you running an aircraft which saves its own files too, whenever AutoSave does? For instance, the PSS Concorde does this. I've no other way of accounting for two pauses with 2 seconds between. If saving Flights causes a noticeable stutter then one or more of the following are true: 1. The hard disk partition containing your "My Documents" folder is getting full. 2. The disk is very fragmented. 3. Windows write caching is disabled. 4. You are rather short on real memory.

wsuch Posted April 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Hi Pete Thanks for your response, I cant explain why it does it, even with a vanilla install of FS2004 as soon as I drop the autosave DLL in even using the standard autosave.cfg I get stutters, definently not a system resource issue as I have new 200 Gig Sata 1 Gig Ram P4 3 Gig New Asus Motherboard, all else runs well, write cache is enabled and drive does not need defragmenting. I will just play around a bit, thanks anyway Regards Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's weird then. There's no 17+2 second cycle in AutoSave. It simply wakes up at the interval specified in the CFG file and calls a procedure in FS which saves the flight. It's been virtually unchanged since FS2000 days and I've not heard of any stutter problems with it before. Sorry, I don't understand what is happening there.
