My system specs are in my sig.
I have REX and FTX aswell as some other payware installed.
Just before i was in Sydney with the 737NGX and was at 2-4FPS on Ultra high.
Does that look right with my system? Or is there an issue i should fix?

What hardware upgrade should i do?

Thanks for the help, also Mods move this if it's in the wrong area!

Ultra settings? Does that mean all sliders to the right?

Sydney? Default or add-on scenery?

737NGX? PMDG or IFly?

FSX is not about all sliders maxed but finding a balance between performance and looks.

Almost everyone will get those kinda FPS if I had all sliders to the right in such a large airport/city.

Your PC specs are fine.

Lower settings. Make sure bloom is disabled and put water on 2.0x low. Do you have any airport modifications installed? FTX airports are extremely heavy on the frames.

PMDG 737NGX sorry i thought i wrote that.
It is default Sydney with FTX installed.
Yeah i was just wondering whether i would need to maybe get some extra RAM or whatnot

And yes by ultra settings i meant sliders to the right (with a config entry to make 4096 res textures available)

Cheers guys!

Ahhh that is your problem.

PMDG NGX and all sliders maxed.

No wonder you get those FPS Grin

Bring those sliders back quite a bit, your rig (I don't think any rig) can handle that

That does not equal high frame rates Sad

. I don't think even NASA computers can run that at 40 fps Grin

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

FTX can choke you out no matter what plane your flying in densely populated environments (the sceneries are a bit more detailed than default). The more autogen objects there are in your area, the more it will bog down your system. The difference between flying in a country side and flying in a city in FSX can be as much as a staggering 40+ FPS.

Cheers,
RB
