Gentlemen,
Just purchased FSX today, and need help updating my graphics card so I can run the program.

First of all, I am told that I need to upgrade my graphic card drivers in order for the game to even start. My graphics card is a VIA/S3G UniChrome IGP. I have searched the S3G site and cannot find a driver for this card. Any help would be appreciated.

I think you need to get your drivers from here Arrow http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=2

Choose your OS and download the Intergrated Graphics driver.

Good luck

You may encounter some problems if this thread is anything to go by...

I've a feeling that the VIA/S3G card doesn't support the direct x 9 features required to run the game
