Phoenix 5 performance question
 

I am running Phoenix 5 on my TOSHIBA Laptop and find the airplane physics slow to the real world. I am also running RealFlight 3.5 and 4.5 and the 3D performance is slow to me. I think it is ok for learning a new maneuver. I have increased the SIM speed from 100 to 120% and do not see a difference. Even roll rate is slow. Anyone using RF and Phoenix 5 please give me your input.

TOSHIBA Qosmio X505 Intel CORE i7
Windows rating 6.7
Q720 1.6 GHz
6 GB RAM
WIN 7/ 64 PRO
TX is JR X347 with NO EXPO turned on

I ran the SIM for 3 days running slow and I cannot explain why it is working fine today. I did update the Phoenix 5 yesterday but after the update there was no change. Turned it on today and all the planes fly like I would expect. I think powering down the laptop changed something. I had to put the SIM speed back to 100%
Problem solved.

Sometimes updates actually do not take effect until the operating system is restarted.

Yes, that is true but this is the first time I have ever had an upgrade to software not prompted me to restart or do it automatically. I am not too happy with the out of the box performance of this SIM. Not happy with the product info supplied on the CD. Manual ?
