Awesome guys, I figured the CPU is lacking however after I did some research and tweaking, used the nVidia inspector and the DX10 fixer I have increased the FPS to 19-22 at all the FSDT airports. They look great, and run smoothly, I turned my AI traffic down to 7% from 20% which still populates everything and looks good at the same time. This issue I have is not being able to overclock, any processor model that doesn't end in "K" cannot be overclocked. I'm stuck with the 2.8ghz unless I get a new processor, then I fear the motherboard will be too old to support the new processor, and it compounds from there. The GTX970 that I recently installed has made a world of difference so far, but I would love to upgrade the cpu still.
The 2D still gives me a huge increase in frames vs. the 3D. from 19-22 on the 3d to like 50 -100 on the 2d.
I bought 5 airports in a bundle a few weeks ago, I wanted KJFK, then noticed the savings the more I bought and blew through $250 bucks in one sitting. They are all activated and installed correctly.

As I fly to one of the airports the frames are great (27-30), then as the scenery loads it drops 10 fps or so. It's not a huge deal now that its better than 5-6fps, just want to make sure I'm getting the most from the system and the scenery. Also I should have mentioned too I just moved to FSX:SE. I feel like the fsx.cfg file is good, and the installs are fine. the Driver for the GPU is up to date so who knows.
