I have the FS2002 and FS2004 Install disks, and I have 2002 Installed Now. I didnt wanto install FS2004 because currently I have an integrated 8MB Video Card which runs fine with FS2002, but FS2004 was all skippy. After Tonight the 9200 will be installed and I dont know if I should stick with FS2002 or go with FS2004. The scenery is ALOT better in FS2004 as I heard, and there are more aircraft. By the way, I have a Duron 900 with 256 MB RAM... I was looking for SW Aircraft, because I am a member of Southwest Virtual and there aren't lots of SW Aircraft for FS2002. Thanks, Nick

Your computer and memory are way underpowered for 2004, but if you turn some of the default settings down you should be able to run it away from airports and cities nicely.

Would FS2002 run good and can I put the Sliders to the Max?

With another 256mb ram it'll run better with that new card but your CPU is still slow.
Run 2002 maxed out, I doubt it but you will get better results with it on your machine than you will with 2004.
Shut down the unimportant ones like low clouds, water off, scenery at default, traffic as low as possible and use the latest drivers for your video card, not the old ones that they give you with the card.
Got to ATI for them.

Good luck with it and let us know how you do.
