hello,
I'm new to flight simulator.......being shortly presented with F.S. 2000 software.

My operating system is Windows XP Home
COMPAQ PRESARIO MODEL S 5500 UK
PROCESSOR AMD ATHLON XP-3000+(2.17GHz)
H.D. 120 GB SEAGATE
RAM 1.00GB ( 2 x 512 )
POWER SUPPLY BESTEC ATX 250W OUT PUT MAX
MOTHERBOARD HP FOCUS
GRAPHIC CARD ATI RADEON 9200 128 MB in AGP slot
( LATEST DRIVER SP26454.EXE INSTALLED)
SOUND CARD AUREON 5.1 PCI.

Is my existing pc capable of running F.S 2000.

Would I benefit from upgrading my graphic card to a radeon 9550 256MB agp.

Any assistance would be appreciated

I'm no expert Harry but your system is better than mine except i have an ATI 9800 pro . I run fs 2004 with most of the sims display setting set to high. I would say your machine would easily run fs 2000 .

Hi Meylan.

Now in possession of F S 2000 disc 1 & disc 2. (no manual or instructions)

Am acheiving some results. so your assumption appears to be correct...... thanks !

Could you please explain how one gets to the "Sims Display settings " that you mentioned.

Glad to hear you've got it , in fs 2004 whilst in flight you press the ALT key and a menu bar appears at the top of the screen click options>setting >display . I doubt it'll be the same in 2000 but i'm sure you'll find it . 😀
