So pretty much like the title says, I get a pretty solid 60fps or above in Jace's room (flight tutorial) and hit 200+ fps in the open space portion. Once I load into the Young Gun start, I get maybe 50~70 FPS in the starting station and surrounding sector, but once I start heading for the highway in Second Contact II Flashpoint, my FPS drops more and more until I finally hit the end (still in the same sector) where my fps absolutely dies and I cannot maintain above 27FPS. I've tried setting all my graphics to absolute lowest, I tried turning off all the filters in the map section, nothing helps. My FPS remains at 27 or below. What can I do?

I would suggest working through this advice thread for ideas.

Your VB Audio virtual cable sound device driver is a bit ancient and you may be able to update your Realtek onboard sound driver from the Realtek driver update site. I would disable any sound devices and drivers that you do not use in Control Panel, Device Manager, Sound/Audio Devices (right-click a device in the list for a disable/enable pop-up).

You are having a few BorderlessGaming.exe kernel issues that might be worth checking into if you use that app with X4 for any reason.
