In the Air

Hello fellow flyers. I got FS-X and have been checking it out for the last few days. Sorry to read so many of you having problems (locking up, freezing & so on) I have a Gateway PC running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600) with 2.00 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4, 8 kilobyte primary memory cache, 512 kilobyte secondary memory cache. 1024 Megabytes Installed Memory, Slot 'J6G1' has 512 MB, Slot 'J6G2' has 512 MB. I am using an ALL-IN-WONDER RADEON 8500DV [Display adapter] with a Gateway FPD1830 [Monitor] (18.2 "vis), Now with the information I have given do I need a new p.c? The reason being, when I fly into an airport, the runway is in the air, if in a chopper I can land on the runway or hover to the edge of the runway and decend down to the ground. ( Look @ the top of a desk, go to the edge & look @ the floor) is my example. While on the ground I can Look up and see the runway and towers above me. Also when in a jet and taxiing to the buildings I as of yet seen a gateway come up to the aircraft as stated in the commercial on TV. One other thing, in F-2004 an option was, being able to have a tool bar to the top of your monitor, (it had exit, options) and so on. Can I have that or activate that in FS-X? Oh one more thing, in FS-2004 I was able to revue my flight, I could play it back and look at it just as it looked when I flew the craft. So far all I am able to do is view a chart. Thanks for taking the time to read all this, and I hope you might have a few answers to my questions. Keep Flying!
