Also did you tried both DirectX and OpenGL versions? (d3d9, gl1 and gl2).

Ram
CPU
Graphics card (if any)
Windows Version
Try re installing YS, that usually fixes most problems. And shut down all other programs to see if the lag gets better

Control panel>Devices&Printers>device manager (under display adapter)
That will show you all the hardware you have installed.

Yes. If you have a desktop or a laptop with user-upgradable RAM, I can walk you through how to purchase and install more RAM. I've done it before - it's not as hard as it seems.Vic Viper wrote:Well windows 7 really needs around 4gb of ram to run properly (with games anyway)
Control panel>Devices&Printers>device manager (under display adapter)
That will show you all the hardware you have installed.
As for GPU, YSFlight isn't very GPU intensive (as a result of it's age and it's nature), but having a good GPU can help with sustaining Framerates.
It could also be a result of severe bottlenecking (be it by your CPU, GPU or RAM) - Bottlenecking in computing is where one component is holding back the computing capabilities of other components, in this case, It's most likely your RAM.

That won't really help.KM6BZH wrote:You can have virtual RAM for the computer. What you need is a free disk space or a usb stick.
VRAM is used for preventing computers from freezing up due to lack of physical memory, and should never be used in lieu of internal physical RAM.

Reason I asked about your video card because sometimes text drawing gets messed up

It works better a bit when I put a USB memory which I make it into a VRAM. (it depends, but it kind of works)Nodoka Hanamura wrote:That won't really help.KM6BZH wrote:You can have virtual RAM for the computer. What you need is a free disk space or a usb stick.

Well, but I'm not really good with computers in general, so you decide if VRAM works

Galen Thurber is the creator of a Standalone version of YSFlight that he claims to be realistic. The guy has been known for stealing aircraft and using them without permission. He's Persona Non Grata here.PAINTRAIN_2003 wrote:thurber???
But back on topic. Paintrain, where exactly does the lag occur? also, how many mods do you have installed?

Re: ysflight lag problems pls read.....
Anyway, regarding your laggy menu, how many addons have you loaded? If you have many many aircraft then naturally it will lag.

Also, is your disk near full capacity? I'm just guessing here but generally if your disk is full your computer would slow down.
