FSX Problems When Loading Some Addon Planes

[andrewlinofreak]

Hello everybody

I have has flight sim X for ages now and I recantly got some add on planes to fly.

Normally when i load up a 737 is works fine no lagg or slowness

But for somes planes like the 727 addon, the game suddenly becomes really slow and laggy and i dont know whats wrong.

It happens for some other add on planes too
Never happens for the default ones..

Any suggestions
I have A ATI Radeon HD card
And I Know I Have 4GB Ram
I Can get my full specs if needed

any help?

default FS aircraft have little simulation in the plane systems. this means they have little hit on the computer's CPU.

addon planes that have detailed system and FMC's have a significant CPU demand.

I have A ATI Radeon HD card
And I Know I Have 4GB Ram

FS is a CPU bound game. to run FS 'fast and close to max' an overclocked above 4GHz intel i-type chip is needed. FS was, IMO, designed to run well on a 5-6GHz CPU ... none of these are yet available.

GPUs of good quality are fine for FS. FS is an old game and the latest cards have features and systems, SLI for example, that the simulator cannot access.

if you have above 2GB of memory on most systems you are fine. 4GB is good if you are running a 64-bit OS.

Ah i see, anyway I installed the 2 addon update type things which were posted on this board above. It fixed FSX completely and everything works fine.

thanks
