	I am having some serious performance issues with Squawkbox 4. When it's on, it causes some serious performance drops in game. The FPS dips constantly well under 10 for a second and comes back to around 40, and then dips once again, and this is constant. The result is very bad stutters in the sim. I was using FSINN before and it ran great, but it caused my flights to crash on final approach nearly every time. SB4 alleviated that but now introduced the stutters. I'm running a Core 2 Duo E8600 OC'd to 4 GHz, DDR3 Ram at 4HB, and a GTX280 OC'd. I shouldn't be having any problems. The game runs rock steady with FPS locked to 40 FPS at 1920x1080x32 with every turned up. I am running FSX Acceleration with Windows 7 64. Anyone have a suggestion?

	What is the range set to in SB4??....adjust it to something like 15nm, should help some. Also, you can adjust the number of times positions of other planes are refreshed. I have mine set to 6 I think (6 times a sec). Lowering it may help some. Finally, I run SB4 outside of FS...as an external app. SB4 has little to no impact on my FPS performance.

	Thanks Michael, it was running SB4 OUTSIDE of FS that cleared the problems. Performance increase 100%. Do not run SB4 as a module inside of FSX!!
