Hi, can anyone help. Whilst the planes are on the ground the program runs very slow, there is a delay on all the controls. When the plane takes off the video is very smooth. The same happens on landing? I have changed all the settings and made them "low" on everything. Help PLEASE!

❓ Tell us what type of video card you have and which drivers you are using for it.
Video cards are the biggest culprit when it comes to slow or "jerky" movements. Yes

Hi thanks, yes I suspected the video card and have changed all the settings. I have now fixed the problem. It was the sidewinder joystick, it was set to pick up the ground bumps! I've disabled this feature and it now works great.

Thanks Steve & Chris
