[Solved]Screen glitch when cabin announcements - mugan78 - 15-03-2014
Hello,
i never had this problem until i installed fspx. While in flight or
on the ground with fspx started i get sudden fps increases
which cause stutters. This only occurs during cabin crew
announcements. It
happens with any add with fps raising from about steady 30 up
to 50-60fps, the worst part is that during this occurrence when
ever you pan the view around its 10 times worse also when
changing
view as in going from cockpit to external but when the
announcements stop its fine. Any ideas? i am getting very
frustrated here...thank you (similar post to someone else). I
really want to buy this product but if I can't get this sorted I'm
not going to waste £30 on something that doesn't work
properly

What is your "Target Framerate" slider set to in display settings?
Re: Screen glitch when cabin announcements - mugan78 - 16-03-2014
I've tried it both with slider set to 30fps and unlimited both with same effects. It happens with all types of jet aircraft using stock or add ons. I've not tried it with GA aircraft just purely cos they
generally don't have cabin crew but I may try to tick the box that says all aircraft have cabin crew and try that see what the results are I just wish I could get to the bottom of it so that I can use it
properly, if you know what I mean.

There's not much at play here, you should be able to diagnose this. Next still is to change the setting called "informational text" from
continuous to single line. It's under display settings on the graphics tab, bottom right corner. Also, you can try to see if it does this during an
external view.
I don't know your computer configuration yet, but I had an issue with this using Vista's Aero, go into your windows display settings and
disable Aero. Also try the game in windowed mode if you are full screen, or full screen if you are in windowed mode.
And a couple other things that "shouldn't" affect this but might, try to disable or enable (opposite of current config) the Direct X 10 preview
mode. And disable lens flare and light bloom, If I remember correctly, light bloom also wreaks havoc on default taxi lines.
And you can do a google search for "FSX config tweak" and there is a guy out there that made a site you can upload your FSX.config to (from
your C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\ folder and it will modify the FSX config to increase stability and
performance. Then just download the modified one and paste into the folder. Don't forget to back up your existing config file first in case you
need to revert. I have used that site personally to fix a hanging problem I had and it worked like a champ.

Welcome mugan78,
Can you give us your system specs and OS.
Your settings in FSX for example would be nice also.
Other thing,...you wrote your FPS goes up instead of down???

Hi thanks for all your feedback I have narrowed it down to the text across the screen when the cabin crew make their announcements. If in the settings I disable display crew text in v/c (something
like that) then I don't get the stuttering/flashing. I would give you my specs if you want but I think that my graphics card is a little under powered too. It's only got 256mb. But anyway I seems to have
solved it by switching off that option. Hopefully it won't happen anymore.
Many thanks again guys for all your help. I will try your suggestion about changing settings from continuous text to single line text see if that helps
I run FSX on my MacBook Pro through bootcamp running windows 7
Windows 7
Intel core i5
8gb ram
Nvidia gforce gt 256mb dedicated graphics card
256gb ssd
As I said I know that this set up is not ideal because it's a laptop but I will be getting a desktop pc in the near future and then I will be rocking and rolling
