What is my FSX bottleneck?

What is my FSX bottleneck Guest

Hello,

Please help me find my FSX bottleneck.
Everything is fine mid air but when my plane is moving through a downloaded (f.e. Aerosoft airports) it gets really laggy.

MBO: ASROCK 970 PRO 3 R2.0
CPU: AMD FX X6 66300 3.5GHZ, SIX CORE
VGA: RADEON R9 390X, 8GB DDR5
HDD: SEAGATE ST1000DM003, 7200RPM
RAM: 8GB, DDR3
OS: Win 10, 64bit

I've read countless posts and some of them suggest that FSX has trouble utilizing multiple AMD cores. Correct? If yes, any way I could fix that?

Thank you!

Part of it is only having 8gigs ram.
Great video card but it does use some of your ram besides having it's own.
Lower your autogen and clouds, turn off shadows and AI.

If you have SP1 and SP2 you are using all cores.
The best way to load them into FSX is to have either FSX Gold or The Acceleration Pack which contains SP1 ans 2.
