Hi-

I'm evaluating your JFK and ORD scenery for FS9 and I am extremely impressed with what I see! 

However, I am thinking I am going to have to pass on JFK at this point unless someone can help.  I select to start at the active runway and it puts me at the hold short area of 4R.  As I taxi into position for takeoff, I get two very violent stutters for a split second.  It's like the sim pauses for a moment and then unlocks both times.  After that I am completely back to normal performance of 25-35 fps.  When I circle the airport and check it out in spot view, the same thing happens again in a certain area.  It's almost like the way one/some of the terminals is rendered seems to cause the problem.

I have noticed the threads below that may relate to the same problem:

My system specs are:
E6420 @ 2.8ghz, ATI 4870 512mb, 8gb GSkill memory

I am working on a fresh FS9 install with the 9.1 update.  I did a full reinstall and the JFK demo was the first "addon" I installed to test.  The problem is still there and it must relate to the FS9 version on the scenery.  Can this possibly be addressed?  I really believe there is a problem that lies within the scenery.  Hopefully I am wrong and I can get this corrected so I can purchase JFK.  I also tried the ORD demo and I don't notice any issues with it, although JFK seems more fluid as far as frames go.  (Minus the pauses!)

If anyone can offer insight or possible solutions, I'd really like to hear a way to fix this.

Thank you,
Scott
