@Casey,

you see you're not alone, in case SP2 does not solve your problems:

http://forum.avsim.net/topic/396263-...ntly-unstable/

Not really comforting, but still...

Two alternmatives. X-Plane I just mentioned, but be advised that there are some major differences between it and FSX.

The other option is to try the student'S licence of Lockheed's Prepar3D . They bought the rights for FSX and have started to push further developement on basis of the FSX core code, that's why it looks almost identical to FSX, it also is compatible with FSX addons, at leats most of them, and new FSX addons are made to be compatible for sure, since word has made the round that many people use Prepar3D as a replacement for FSX. I just have not been able to secure solid info on to what degree they indeed improved the code over the original FSX code. Lockheed does a very inferior job in that regard, but then, their market is a very different one, a bit like with Steel Beasts: private home users are not their main interest with Prepar3D.

I myself would be willing to give Pepar3D a chance if I would get solid confirmation that they have turned it into a truly multi-core-optimized platform. My beloved 737NGX also is compatible with it, like almost all addons for FSX.

The scope of Prepar3D goes beyond that of FSX and its flight simming aspect. Lockheed'S commercial video - but I cannot tell you whether the shown content is part of the package for the public, I do not know. :
