I loaded up my FSX for the first time in a couple days, and when I loaded into the flight I had less than 5 fps. The game is extremely slow, even the menu takes a second to load and a bit longer to navigate through. Its only slow after I have started a flight though. So I can go through all the pre flight settings no problem. Since the last time it ran flawlessly I only did one thing to the game, and that was install the CLS DC-10. I havent done anything else to the game. In that time I have installed new software for my computer, but I cant see that messing with the game. I cant seem to find an uninstall for the CLS DC-10, but I tried putting the aircraft folders on my desktop, which did not work.
I have had a similar problem before, but I was reading at 5000fps. Someone had mentioned to me that running a second audio input through my soundcard was a known cause for that issue, but I had to re install the game still. I would really like to avoid another re install, since this happened 2 months ago anyway, and my CD key may not work so I wish not to have to call microsoft and have it re instated. The only other thing I have done, is repair both FSX and Acceleration. Turning down my game settings does no good. Has anyone else had this problem and/or does anyone know how to fix it?
