Hello all,

I am experiencing low frame rate with FSX Acceleration and hope to get some suggestions to get the high frame rate at the highest FSX Display settings possible. Only have one mod installed: Ultimate Traffic 2.

Scenario 1:
With FSX display settings at approximately 50% (see screenshots), getting average frame rate is 7-16fps. All the bars set to the middle or low in the Scenery tab and unchecked Land Detail textures. RAM is at 71%. Core 1 is 97%-100%, 2 3 and 4 jumps from 0-90%. The closer I get to Midway or O’Hare airports, jumps to 91% for about 1 minute. Then cores 2, 3, 4 average 40%.

Scenario 2:
With FSX display setting at approximately 25% capacity, frame rates increase to 20-29fps.
-Therese’s got to be something wrong here.

I thought I had enough in my system to have phenomenal graphics like people in the YouTube videos have for FSX. Sorry for being new to this but I want to learn, and hoping to get help from you all. Thanks in advance!

I would have attached screen shots of my settings of FSX but didn't see a way to.
