FSX is slow on my relatively-new box...

Well it really depends on where you are flying etc etc. Some people say they get plenty of fps, like 15 or so, but they are only flying in rural areas...so to them, that's the only place they fly and they like it. I like to fly in larger cities but turn off all the autogen, I can't believe how much of a hit even the smallest amount of autogen has on my pc

Yes, I also found that trick out, shut off autogen and I get good performance in cities, example Seattle, KSEA, I get my max setting of 24fsp. but my city looks so naked.

Rural is not a problem.
