Hi, Its all fixed. Was the anistropic filtering that was the problem. Turns out the AMD FX 6300 and GTX 960 are a good pair as im on max settings on FSX Steam and im getting 40-50fps..

Yeah looks very similar. I'm currently downloading FSX Steam again so will try putting Anisotropic filtering on. Traktor isn't connected up all the time so yeah probably putting it on the SSD is daft but I like the faster loading. I think im going to invest in a few more SSD's and have 1 for FSX and 1 for X Plane 10 Matt

Ah right. Didn't realise it had better texture loading so will probably buy another 240gb SSD and just use that for X Plane 10 & FSX Steam Edition Matt

Because the SSD is only 240gb and the HD is 1TB. Ive read and read on the internet about benefits of SSD's for gaming and it seems there isn't any at all? I have other programs installed which has lowered that to about 140gb left (Photoshop, Lightroom, Traktor Pro 2 etc) Matt

Thanks for the reply. I've actually just wiped my computer and in the process of reinstalling everything. I will download it again and try that if the problem rears its ugly head. Prior to wiping I fired up X-Plane 10 and it worked flawlessly. I had 50-60fps without HDR and 30-40fps with HDR on and that was everything the step below maximum. I believe X Plane 10 uses Opengl? If so perhaps its a directx issue? Will reinstall everything and let you know Matt

Hi, I'm having problems with FSX Steam Edition. I have just built a new setup with the following spec.. Amd FX 6300 6 Core Processor (stock not overclocked yet) Msi 970 Gaming Motherboard 8Gb DDR3 2133hz Ram Msi Gaming Nvidia 960 2GB (stock not overclocked yet) 240GB SSD (550/500) 1TB Hard Drive (FSX is installed here) LG 24GM77 144hz Monitor - set at 120hz I have just done a fresh install of Windows 8.1 and everything is running perfectly. When I run FSX I have these funny graphics and the fps is low 30s (I expected more really) Any ideas? Matt

So something like the following... Intel i5 3570k overclocked to 4.6ghz cooled by Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Asus Sabertooth Z77 Motherboard Nvidia GTX 670 2GB Overclocked 16GB DDR3 2400mhz Samsung Green Ram 256GB Crucial M4 SSD for Windows 8 64 bit 256GB Crucial M4 SSD dedicated for X-Plane 10 EVGA 730w Fully Modular PSU Matt

Anyone?

Hi, Going to build a new PC this week to use X-Plane 10 and just after some advice. Processors: Intel i5 3570k OR Intel i7 3770k OR AMD Piledriver 8350. All will be overclocked. Is the i7 ALOT better than the i5? Is the AMD better as its 8 core? Graphics Card: NVidia 2GB 660 TI OR Nvidia 2GB 670 OR AMD 3GB 7970. Ive heard AMD aren't as good for X-Plane but not sure. Hard Drive: Going to get a 256GB SSD for the Windows 8 and another 256Gb SSD just for X-Plane 10. Will an SSD make a lot of difference if I was to use a dedicated 1TB 7200rpm Hard Drive instead? Any help really appreciated Matt

Hi,How many cores does FSX utilise properly?Im just wondering whether to get an i3 and overclock it to approx 4.6ghz, get an i5 760 quad and overclock it to about 4.2ghz or to get the latest sandy bridge 2500k and overclock that to 4.8ishI know the sandy bridge will be fastest but will FSX really run that much faster using the 2500k than the i3 if the same graphics card is used? Surely 4.6ghz is going to be faster than the 4.2ghz i5 750?Just wondering as going the i3 route will save me quite a bit of money in the build.Matt

No , i dont mean the monitor stand , i mean lower down , the actual metal frameMatt

Hi,Im in love with this metal frame pictured in the link below (scroll down half the page on that forum). Do you know where to get one?My linkMatt

Anyone?

Hi,Why am i getting these purple lines and smudges when playing Xplane 9.62?Im using a 27" imac with i3 3.2ghz, 4gb ram and ATI 5670 512mbAlo the bottom image says something about a driver at the bottom. Am i getting hardware acceleration?The above part blown up.... Matt

Hi,Its this one.... My link Hi,The only reason im going for the SSD is ive heard that they load textures so much faster than the velociraptors. Do you find that? Do you ever come in low on FSX and find the textures dont load fast enough when using the Velociraptors?Matt
