I assume you have "Detailed Terrain" disabled and are not forcing any type of anti-aliasing to be done as well?

A DXDIAG output would be helpful.  Please consider emailing it to me.

this has nothing to do with IN GAME settings.   From the second I click the AH shortcut on my desktop and bring up the game menu..the moment the mouse cursor passes over the game window..it pauses...then pauses again.  If I bring up the game the pause every second or so continues.  even if I bring up a plane that plane's peformance pauses.


I've loved this game, but I DON'T GET this.  I may be out after all these years.

Ok, sounds like you are not running the latest release of the game.  The latest version is "Version 2.19 Patch 2".  Check the upper left corner of the screen for the version number.

Also, make sure you have the "Maximum Texture Size" in the game's "Video Settings" set to 256 with no anti-aliasing.

Next, you need to make sure your computer is running clean.  Your CPU is a little on the low end side and the video card is low end.  Please review this post to make sure your computer is running clean.

Skuzzy setting it to 256 and getting rid of anti aliasing has seemed to solve the problem in the game menu..gonna try to play now and see what happens.
