Since I am running it on a P4 2.8 GHz with 612 MB RAM (128 MB shared with and Intel on board GFX), I would say it will run on your computer. You may not be able to move all the settings to ultra high, but you will get better results than I do.

If you haven't noticed in previous posts, autogen and traffic are the biggest problem areas. I can have my scenery detail on ultra high, 19m mesh resolved to 1m with no problem, but that is with no autogen and aircraft traffic at zero.

Laughing It wasn't excessive. Laughing

The only public areas they exist is in the FSX forum her. I've ratcheted back the number of shots I've posted because while I have posted them to show what can be done on a mediocre computer, the art critics have decided they weren't worthy of Rembrandt.

I will try to post a few later today under the subject, "for Fryingpan", so yoou can find them.

ROFL

Hey, the crap may be true. Laughing It could just be that I am back on my medication, today. Wink

I can be abrasive and won't back away from an argument. It will surprise people that I don't dislike those I argue with. It would be very boring if there isn't an occasional food fight.
