Have you tried altering your performance and display settings and defragmenting and scanning your hard drive? Make sure FS2004 is installed on the C drive. I find applications installed on the C drive run better than if they were installed on another drive such as Drive D.
With all my performance settings maxed out (except water) I've discovered that it doesn't decrease my FPS but it does take longer to load such as the VC and external views. The delay only occures once though and once 'in memory' the system runs pretty well with very sharp graphics.
maybe you need more RAM?
a better graphics card?
faster processor?
