Hello DVA!
I reformatted my computer not too long ago and got a new graphics card and the Level D 767. Ever since, I have been getting frame rate issues. Previously I could run FS with all the sliders to max except for a few and get around 16fps anywhere, even with PMDG 738 and FSDreamTeam KLAS Scenery. Now when I load FS and all the other stuff I get frame rates as I did before but after a few minutes go by it drops drastically. I have all my unnecessary backgrounds closed and yet my computer is still running at 100%. Is there any way to get the frames back to what they were before? And any way to get some less CPU usage from FS9?
Thanks!
My specs are:

Windows XP Home Edition SP3
AMD Sempron Processor 2800+, MMX, 3DNow, ~1.6GHz
1.50GB RAM
Direct X 9.0c
NVidia GForce 7300GT 512MB

Make sure your sound card settings are apropriate for FS9.
I'd begin with a Disk Cleanup then use Auslogics Disk Defrag. After configure the FS9.cfg to these parameters:

Sorry for the late response. I haven't had time to try those .cfg parameters yet, but I will next time I have time to mess with FS! Thanks for the help though! Ill post here what the results are.
