Ahhh!!! Grass Hopper. It must be said: "What it Will Be" if it is to be or not to be. This is no longer a Question for those who believe my friend.

FFB was causing errors in a previous release. Has it reared it's ugly head again? Back then we had to turn it off till a fix came. It did come but as has happened before some times bugs come back when one is removed. Whack a Mole programming some times.

Don't give up!! You didn't answer the Q posted to you. We'll find it. And this is the only software you have an issue, right?

This was a past iterations of the Sim. I experienced the same and found reloading the Distributed files solved it for me. It was as if a crash truncated the Microsoft Distributed file and it would not load correctly. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2977003

Usually a driver issue with the GPU. Also the Microsofs distributed files. These can be found here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2977003

Paying more is appreciated sentiment to the Developers I am sure. Our genre doesn't allow such unabashed offerings, as we are a very small part of a very large and lucrative industry. If we were at the same level of participation as the top rated gaming software out there this would be a logical and intelligent business decision easily made by the "Powers that be". Unfortunately this is in our case impossible. Unless we some how get the ear of a philanthropist. One willing to take on this metamorphic change you and I can for now only dream of.

How much Ram is on that 980 you have?

Interesting discussion. How much does the CUDA cores play in the difference would be good to know. It is possible to test isn't it? 2048 and 3072 should make some difference I would think. Has the effectiveness of CUDA been looked at in an DX9 moved to DX12 been tested? Only a hand full of software out that would even want to know the answer to this I suspect. Would be good to know. for us anywho. When I hit the lottery I would hire a group of top notch programmers to revamp this Sim. to a brand new computer language after taking care of other things of course.

Welcome in Andy1966. It is that, and more.

Repair now.

With a system like that you must be considering adding more Ram? It has helped others having your issue. SLi has caused stuttering also. I would assume you do turn it off?

The Lower end PC you mention wouldn't run DCS. Due to the software being from the old days (as it were) it would be possible to see an increase "IF" the software were run on a PC from that era. In this case the added advances will not allow the new ver. to run on that era Machine. I do understand your point though.

The page file tinkering was done in the Win98 days. Needless to say those days are gone, as Microsoft has added the increase page file speed and adjustments into the "Instruction Set" of their chips (The ones attached to the motherboard). With the technology advents this method is quite brute like now. Considering the fact that we are now able to run in 64Bit and utilize ram at 64 and 32 Gigs this is most unneeded.

If you can some time in the future get an external storage device.] I lost 4Gigs of music when a drive died because I didn't back it up. Now I back up my backups.

I understand you are frustrated. Human trait not always associated with Level Headedness. Your ver. of Windows is your issue. "The Team" created an outstanding Sim. that requires the latest updates to be applied including insuring you keep up your end when it comes to Redmond software. There is a reason for Win10 more than could be stated here. Update your system so that you can enjoy all the benefits of our genre among others.

The motherboard has issues with BSODing. as per the hardware reviews search on Bing. There is an update to the BIOS.

When you say "Threads" I am assuming you are talking about the "CPU Cores". Do you know how many Sims. use more than 2 Cores? for that matter how many games use more than the "Standard" 2 cores? Are those who also believe in this aware of the Sims. development date? and that the use of cores in this case is standard to the industry at that time? As for making this or any other title of this era a multi-core package. The total rewriting of this title is the only way to achieve this great metamorphosis. We all would love to see this done but some are aware of the drain on resources needed to achieve this feat. Keeping in mind that this title was developed by a small group of deep thinking well intentioned men of great vision, I for one am astounded at said achievements thus far. As for those asking more of you. Please forgive them for they know not what they ask.

If he has changed Mother Board, Ram and GPU. then the next in the chain of process of elimination would be the Power Supply. I have also seen the electric outlet cause errors in cases similar to this. If he doesn't have another power supply available unplug all non-essential devices. i.e.. DVD. any extra HDDs' all USB to lower the power needed to run the PC.

You need a DX11 GPU. that one isn't.

Yahhh yahhh yahhhhh!!! Comon' Admit it................You had fun doing it????? You know you did Comon' say it.............I.............Had............Funnnnnnnn!!!!!! :)

That sounds plausible. I wonder if that is the reason the tracks get borked sometimes.

You are correct.

No Biggy Ranger79. I knew instantly it was a typo. Nice Job. I don't understand why this awesome software isn't over 1Billion purchases yet. ED. How many have sold? If it is OK to ask.

Interesting. Voice Attack sounds like something that should be looked at for actual jets. Although it could cause serious issues if in a discussion you just say "I had my GEAR DOWN" and the software executes the command at angels 20 at high speeds.

I have MSAA 4x but my quality is set to High. and all is well with my shadows. All updates applied to your GPU?
