Axtive Sky6 --OUCH!

[flameout]

Everytime I install an addon to fs9 such as UltimateTraffic or PMDG aircraft I make sure the installer has not changed the FSUIPC .dll
inside the modules folder to an older version. That can mess you up.

Another then to try is to delete the fs9 cfg. file and let it rebuild in mine I have to add again changes I've made such as [OLDMODULES]
FSsound.dll=1
FSUIPC.dll=1
SOARRec.dll=1

or "TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=400". fs9cfg file for faster texture rendering

I have not purchased Active sky as yet so I don't know the glitches of it yet.

I know that with some video cards such as mine, Nivdia, it was necessary to update the drivers and also to reduce the antialiasing
setting from 8s to 4 some people deselect antialiasing completely so the screen is not split while using the fs pax addon passengers
status window.

In the flight sim hardware display settings to deselect "render to texture" option, to eliminate flickering screen. Once I did that I generally
get frame rates around 34fps with traffic at 100% and the latest weather installed and fs9 options maxed out for the most part. While
flying the PMDG Queen of the sky

I also shut down most other uneeded processes though I followed the instrctions at this page for xp: http://www.BlackViper.com: Windows XP
Home and Professional Service Pack 2 Services 411

I really don't know how Active sky affects frame rates however

I know other people on here are very pleased with the effects of active sky so probably you will find a solution. I hope something in the
above will help out .

Happy New Year
