Hello everyone 😀

Mmm, so I actually got FSX for christmas, woohoo! 😂
Anyways... Been playing it a lot the last couple of days, and I've tried playing a bit with the graphics settings. What really bothers me, is that I don't think my comp is handling the game very well. Right now I'm running it with these settings, lag free:

Graphics: High
Aircraft: Ultra High
Scenery: Medium High
Weather: Medium High
Traffic: Medium Low

I actually thought (I'm pretty naive, eventually) that my comp would be able to run it with at least Graphics, Aircraft and Scenery at Ultra high... But I found out that it isn't... So, I was wondering, does anyone know a way to squeeze some more out of my comp? My specs are:

Intel Pentium 4 processor; 3.2Ghz
Asus Nvidia GeForce En7900GT 256mb
1gb ram
Windows XP home ed.

Thanks a lot 😉

I would add another 1 gig of memory and wait untill geforce 8800 come down in price. having more then 2 gig will not make any difference as FSX does not use more then 2 gig. but you will need 3 gig for VISTA
There are reports of FSX running a little faster under VISTA

I have Pentium 4Duel core 3.4Ghz
GeForce 7600GT 256mb
3 gig ram
500 gig HDD
XP media edition

I have my setting about the same as you
I will wait untill geforce 8800 come down in price maybe in 6 months

The only way you are going to get Ultra high setting is with the next generation of graphic cards like the GeForce 8800 with 768mb, you may even need 2 in SLI set up.
We will have to wait and see how Direct X 10 effects FSX, it should help to make it run faster.

I have just spent £1250.00 on a new base unit just to try and get something out of this game in frame rates. I know I will not be able to play it with high settings throughout but it will be better than what I have got. I will get it in a week or two. I don't expect it to double the frame rates though.
