There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I use FSGenesis mesh and have been very please with all of it. I do not know if they are still available, but buying a Galaxy membership was one of the best FSX purchases I ever made.

I agree, I started off with the freeware 10m mesh available on all the FS sites and saw many of the peaks. One being just north of Melbourne Fl where I almost always start. I switched to the FS Genesis mesh about 3 years ago and would not use any other. If a mesh is not available from them I will use a freeware mesh until FS Gen gets it, then I immediately change to their mesh.
One thing to keep in mind if you use any higher then default mesh is that airport altitudes that are set by MS to conform to the default mesh might be on a plateau or be in a hole when the 10 meter mesh is installed.

Where do you see these peaks, I see nothing but very flat flatness.
If I could "fly" there perhaps I might not see them?
You might be well advised to ensure that your mesh is working properly before installing another.
FsGenesis mesh is indeed good but not universally, Iceland is not a success
and there are parts of the UK where the mesh doesn't resemble reality.

You didn't say if you had an addon mesh installed.
The pictures are too small for me to see much more than
you appear to have no forward view out of the cockpit and
that and the mesh anomolies could be related to lack of
memory, especially if all those icons on the right in your
taskbar are active software.

All of those spikes in your terrain screenshot can also mean graphics problems. Maybe your GPU is overheating or you have your graphic settings to high.
If you have a bunch of programs running in the back round like someone else was asking then turn off all programs and only run FSX. I would turn everything off, reboot your PC and then start FSX with no other program running. If you still get the spikes turn your FSX graphic (scenery) settings down. If you still get them then check the temperature your GPU is running at.

Referring back to the screen shots posted at AVSIM, it looks like you are running some type of hardware monitor? There are four little boxes in the task bar with, what seems like, temperature readings. If that is the case, I would start checking out a system issue, as in one of the shots it's reading 69/94/64/89 and the other is 52/98/41/50. If those are Celcius readings, I don't believe they are to be sitting in the 90s. An overheating CPU would not be good for FSX and a whole bunch of other things.
Am no mesh or scenery expert but I had exactly those same spikes due to freeware add on mesh I found at simviation for Southern CA. Did some Googling and found that the author (forget the name) had kindly spotte the problem and added a texture that fixed it. Suggest removing any add on mesh to see if that goes away. I have had overheating "artifacts" and though similar, your screenie is the mesh IMHO, not a heat problem.
These "little boxes" are generated by Cacheman , I use this little tool for ...a long time these" little boxes" show the cpu usage of the 4 cores of the CPU and the "litte box" with green figures is the available memory . I also use 'cfos Speed" , ASUS AI SUITE II, eBooster, Intel Rapid Storage, No application other than AS2012, TML (texture max loader) , Plan-G,
Thanks for your reply

A simple test: IF you can fly elsewhere e.g. near a big city (London) and/or with AI around and you don't get spikes for any length of time AND you always are getting them when you come back to this part of FL ONLY, then this is very likely NOT a heat/hardware issue, but something specific to a mesh or scenery file.
