How to stop jumping frames and hiccups...!!!

Usually the worst offender is all the extra stuff running in the background (virus scanner, quicktime, all that stuff that you don't need while flying). Someone else will come along and tell you to download some program that turns off all the extra stuff that's running.

But here's how I do it (and it's the method recommended by Microsoft):

On the Start menu, select Run. . .
Enter "msconfig" without the quotes.
Click "Selective Startup"
Select the "Services" tab.
Click "Enable All"
Click "Hide all Microsoft Services"
Click "Disable All"
Click "Apply"
Click "Okay"
When prompted, select "Restart"

When the computer boots up again, only the essential programs will be working.

In order to restore normal operations, you have to rerun "msconfig," select "Normal Startup," and reboot the computer.

Hope this helps,

Ed

Good, sound method, Ed. One of the programmes you might be referring to is Ken Salter's FS-Autostart ➡

It's well worth to spend some time and set it up properly - there's a support forum hosted at AVSIM.

The beauty about FS-Autostart is that you can run FS in unaided mode (not using FS-Autostart) which is very handy if you have to exit FS frequently during manual installations and tweakings.

If you run FS using FS-Autostart, it can take a while for FS to start up due to defragging of memory etc., but you'll sure be able to notice an improvement - no framerate stutter.

Good advice...and welcome back. 😀

Tailhook, nice to see you and good advise...as usual!

Thanks Gentlemen! Happy flying 😀

In the interest of accuracy, I just did this routine and realize that I left something out:

After you check "Selective Startup"
you must Uncheck the four boxes below it.
THEN click the "Services" tab and the rest of it.

If you fail to do that, when you reboot the system will get confused and go into "Diagnostic Startup" mode. But you won't know it, because you'll think that you started in "Selective Startup," except nothing will work. The only way to get out of that is to do a "Normal Startup," reboot, and then do the "Selective Startup" the right way.

i wonder if this would work with mine also

OMG its tailhook!!!
