Does cleaning up computer speed up the simulator

[Jack Turano]

Hello,

Does anyone know if I reset my computer to factory settings, will X-plane run much faster?

How much %increase in the FPS should I see?

This question makes me think that you should leave everything as it is.

I did not get that

From your question I conclude that you do not understand a lot of hardware, system configuration and X-Plane performance.

And since this is a VERY complicated matter and can lead to serious trouble this is not something that can be helped with via forum chatter.

PS: You can read up on system building, XP-Performance/tuning, bottlenecks, drivers, rendering options etc. in numerous forum threads and other sources, though.
And if you come up with a more "qualified" and specific question and the appropriate information, a lot of people will happily try to help you, including me.

I have been using X-plane for 2 years now, and I have read many forums and I know a lot about the rendering settings.

I am not a full bottleneck in computers like you're saying and I understand performance specs of computers and simulator performance.

 

Now my question explained more explicitly:

I bought a new computer at the same time that I bought X-plane, and it was working fine in the beggining. Now I've got many programs on it and there is a bunch of backround tasks because of that.

As I understand, this slows down the simulator.

So I ask if it will help if I will have no other programs and have a sim-only computer and how much will it help (how much %FPS increase will I see)?

I'm not stupid, and PLEASE no more sarcasm. please...

You were given advice in your other thread about poor FPS.

 

You were instructed to install a blank demo copy of X-Plane.

 

This will give you a reference point.

Is it your system or is it all the stuff you've installed inside X-Plane.

 

It's probably just all the stuff you've added to X-Plane.

 

Re-installing your system is a pointless exercise until you reset to a blank default demo copy of X-Plane and re-test.

Please post more information regarding how a default copy of X-Plane performs.

OK, Thank you. I can't test this for a few more days because I'm away right now from my computer.

I will install a blank demo, and I'm sure it will do a lot better (because I did the same thing last year, installed blank demo, and it worked very good).

The only problem is, how do I put back my custom scenery and addons? I don't want to fly with the default X-plane engine. But putting them in one by one would take up SO much time.

What's your advice on what to do after I've installed a blank demo and seen an improvement in the FPS?
