johnrgby Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hi Guys I have not done a lot of simming over the past few years, but now i have retired, I intend to return, the problem is what was glaringly obvious to me 3/4 years ago I now can not remember, eg my frame rate is locked at 20FPS and I cannot remember where to go to change it :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponchovilla Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 In the FS9 start up screen, click Settings in the right-hand column, click the display button... Then click the Hardware tab at the top and adjust FPS using the Target Frame Rate slider. Hope this helps. Happy Flying! Fair skies and following winds, -Frank- PROUD FS RTWR Pilot since 2015!

johnrgby Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Thanks Guys. Now here is another question, I have re installed my traffic from a disc I bought somy ears ago, and while the aircraft appear in the add on aircraft file, and the flight plans are in the file I have no traffic not even default traffic even though the system is set for 100% density??

pschlute Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 The individual aircraft folders should be installed in the "Aircraft" folder. The traffic file .bgl should be installed in a scenery folder, usually scenery\world\scenery Do you have to go through a "compile" procedure with MyTraffic ? What does the manual say?

johnrgby Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Manual says it self installs, and I am sure it did the last time I installed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cibble10 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I take no credit for this, other than in copying/pasting. Following this made a SIGNIFICANT difference to my fps and performance on FSX on my system. Wanted to share! Video settings for newbies (from a newbie) Hey all, As promised in my other post about the Newbie tip for adding scenery, here are my Nvidia control panel settings and my FSX:SE in-game settings for anyone having trouble with smoothness. Obviously these could be tweaked for your specific setup and I might play around with them a little more but this seems to be a good baseline to start with. I get ~60 FPS on "Mission Tutorial 8: Transitioning to Jets", which is the biggest video hog of any of the missions I have completed so far.
