Flight sim. X frame drops dramaticly when moving on the ground

Hallo,
I have a very strainge problem with Flight Simulator X.
When my aircraft moves on the grond I get about 1 fps, but as soon as I fly
(or stop on the ground) the frame rate is normal.
So I tried some things to find an answer. First I installed the newest video
drivers but this didn't help. Then I changed the Display settings, setting it
all to 'minimal' and 'very low', but also this doesn't change a thing. Again
when I touch the ground, or start taking of the frame rate drops dramaticly!
And as soon as the aircraft flies it works fine.
This are the specs of my system:
- Pentium D945 Dual Core Processor 3.4 GHz, 800MHz fsb, 2x2MB Cache
- 3 GB ddr2 533 memory
- NVIDIA GeForce 7300 Turbocache with 256 MB memory
- 250 GB SATA 7200 rpm hard drive (with 40 GB available on drive where game
installed)

Does anyone know what's wrong, and how to fix this?

Are you using a force feedback joystick? If yes disable the ground
bump effect in the simulator...
