This may have been discussed from the first few days of FS9, but since having a new graphics card and not knowing too much about the technical aspects of FS9, I have noticed that the sim stutters when scenery pops up and the hard drive makes a clicking noise as it's accessed.
My question is, even though my settings are on max, how do I get scenery to pop up earlier, or which is the best way to get the hard drive to work faster.
It may be an odd question, but since the new card I just want to get things even better. Its rather bad when approaching to land and taking off at the Isle of Man.
Sorry if it seems a stupid question and obvious.

Thanks Ben, that was the first thing I did, but its still not brilliant. The biggest problem is scenery appearing too late on approach causing it to stutter. I assume it is read off the hard drive. I have recently defragged and FS is on a partitioned drive away from the main C Drive.
I just don't understand why with a computer that's not too bad, 2GB of RAM and a new card it still stutters as you approach places. It's like one minute the building isn't there, then it just appears.
Is there any way of configuring the hard drive to access it faster?
Lots of questions, but this is the first time I have looked into it.
Thanks!

Indeed, it is not only good practice, it is also a near must. If you look in your current cfg file under the [DISPLAY.Device.xxxxx] - section you will see you former card mentioned (instead of the x'es)....
As Ben said rename the one you have, let FS build a new, adjust your sliders, and finally re-add any manual edition you have done to your formaer cfg-filer (if necessary, though) try using the sliders first, and see what you can get with them alone, and then if it si not enough, go to your manual editions...
Good luck
