erratic behavior

[Leon Luke]

First time to this topic.

Just wondering if any has any thoughts on why after about an hour of simming the heli piros much faster and the collective and general behaviour of the heli becomes faster and more jumpy.

It becomes normal again once I restart the computer?

A heating problem or memory issue?

I have a dual core 4400 amd and dual 7800gtx cards

Thanks

Sounds like the physics engine in the software might be a little buggy. Do you have an onboard video system or a video card. It could be overheating or not getting enough juice from your power supply.

When was the last time you cleaned the dust out. Also look and see in the setting if there is some type of AI function enabled in your sim. Other than that I am shooting in the dark.

I can't say I've ever heard of or seen this problem myself.

I have my doubts that it is a problem with the software, but it is theoretically possible that some calculations may become less precise the longer the software is running. I would think that the effects would not be noticeable.

On my home desktop PC HP pavilion my helis start to slow down when the dust builds up. Very noticable when it happens. BUT, it's odd that it actually gets faster.

I would clean the dust bunnies out first.

Its clean inside, got the computer 2 months ago.

And yes, it does get faster as session gets longer.

Thanks
