Thanks Sharrow,i appreciate your help,one more question,as you seem to know your stuff,very light levels of traffic on the ground.very few aircraft,removed aircraft shadow which helped a bit,but still light traffic.
Regards.

get both SP1 & SP2 as they will allow you to play online if thats what you want aswell as fix things, to set up trafic go to settings>trafic>custom the make take all the sliders to high that will give you the most ai trafic on fsx without an addon
