We all should not have to set our settings to minimum to run SMP because of the pauses, bascially we are not complaining but suggestion that in the future updates of SMP 3 that this should be addressed. Besides most of us and myself are running XP10 and SMP3 at average/moderate settings on decent PCs. Mostly of us came from or still use FSX/P3d and with the various third party weather injectors , Opus, REX and FSGRW to name a few seem to work well within FSX/P3D.
