Good morning folks, I've purchased, downloaded, installed and ran "Ultimate Defrag/Optomizer" from Robert Ferraro, (ran it through my system twice, once on "Consolidate" and once on "Folder/File name"
and I must say I'm very disappointed, has not made one IOTA of a difference in the performance of my machine, frame rates in FS2004 still exactly the same, in large airports 7 - 12 frames/sec. too choppy, can't enjoy flying at all. Angry

Has anyone here had experiences with "Ultimate Defrag" ? Please, I need some comments and help on this issue. Shocked

Also, can someone tell me what to do if your jet aircraft always points its nose to far up when flying?
How and where do I adjust the trim? (Note: all my propeller aircrafts no problem with that.)

Thanks guys. John.

John,

Ultimate Defrag is just one part of an overall computer "sweep out" and tune up. If the main bottle neck is elsewhere, then having the disk spiffily organized won;t solve the issues you might be having. In fact a spiffily organized hard drive if the data throughput is not fast...... (high rpm, large cache, not IDE, etc) then you will get that nice organized data out .....but still not much faster. NO faster if the head access time was not the actual issue with getting stuff off the hard drive. Wink

Unfortunately your best source on this is no longer around. Hopefully someone else has more info than I do.

best,

Defrags will almost always don't speed up fs. They allow for faster file access times, but not by much. If you want to speed up fs clean up the FS9 folder (get rid of unused aircraft, scenery, textures). Defrag is helpful, CPU usage is more important.

How many of the FS9 default aircraft can a guy remove? I don't use any of them. I would think I don't need the Wright Flyer, Jenny, Vega, and that twin eng. biplane bomber, or the jet airliners. I fly almost all payware stuff with just a couple of freeware.

Be Warned. Although you may not specificaly use the default AC, you may well have plenty of downloads that do. Many freeware AC's make use of default panels and sound files, I'd say that it's not worth the bother or the risk deleting them.

Eh, I use (well...used to use....I can no longer use it anymore because my user32.dll file was moved somehow...but thats another thread) Ultimate Defrag. Don't expect it to boost your frames from 5 to 20. The effect it has on frames is minimal, if there actually IS any boost. Instead it will give you "smoother" frames, textures will load faster, if you play a FPS like Battlefield 2, it will find your client files faster, in essence, all defragging does is to compact your files into one space so that loading those files, takes less time.
