What kind of frames with live weather? Active sky and REX? Anyone know yet or try? I am very curious....
That is with REX textures and FSX's real world weather. It just happened to be clear.
I have yet to try it with ASX though.Felixthreeone

Let me know... I am interested....
Could you post a screenshot of the config manager with your settings? There's a real chance your 3 GB of slow ram is killing you here... though I'm curious what you've got set in the config manager.

Hi Chaps - Are there any reflections in the VC glass?
Also FSX crashes after I use the plane and try to exit FSX or load another aircraft? Not pretty!

Engine Options: None
External Model Options: Low Version
Vitual Cockpit Model Options: Low Version

What kind of dual core is your computer? An Intel Core 2 or one of the old Pentium Duals? It makes a huge difference. I'm not too sure what you could do to squeeze more performance out of it besides changing your FSX settings or upgrading your hardware. If you've got the J41 set that low already, there's not much else you can do.
Here are my settings:
Yeah, that's definitely why you're getting such low FPS. I wish I had a magic fix for you.

looks like a nice plane! with my comp (C2D at 3 ghz and 4gb ram) I think she'll handle fine with few things turned down. I run with no traffic anyways....
too bad its not TOO popular of a plane.... I wish they did a Fokker 50 or the saab 340 or something, oh well =/

What is it always with the popularity of planes? Do you rather get a as-close-to-perfection-J41 or a plain-fare-Airbus. Not that a Fokker or Saab is more popular than the J41. Just take the J41 for what it is ... the best regional airliner addon. And one that is suprisingly fps-friendly too. I get really nice rates (20-30fps) on a 4lbs-notebook. And last but not least, it's sanely priced by the devs.

Not sure who you're asking. Me? If so, I've to disappoint you. I'm flying on a small subnotebook with 2.53GHz DualCore (P9500), 4GB RAM and a NV9600GT. Not sure what an AMD6000+ compares to but in respect to GPU, HDD and RAM you're faster than me.
I don't really know what plane to compare with but for me there is a 5-10fps penalty in this over the FSX default airliners depending on situation and viewing angle etc. That's not too shabby given the detail and system simulation in here.
I don't own many plane addons but the J41 sits comfy in the middle between the L39 (which is better fps-wise) and the A2A 377 (which is worse) the F1 Cessna Mustang (which is much worse). The PMDG MD-11 is also noticeably worse and doesn't have the looks.

I was writing to Kiwi... I'm guessing you (Oli -tub) and I don't run the same settings. I don't even own it yet so I'm not sure but maybe I can do something nice for my beautiful wife to get it. I already recently spent moola on the Lotus L39 - good fps and excellent systems modeling/aerodynamics.
