Hello, help me here with your thoughts.


This are my specs:

Amd Athlon 64  4000+ (2.4GHz ) 1MB cache
MB-Abit AN8 Fatality
2 GB RAM
BFG geforce 7950 GT OC 256mb
Primary disk- WD 80gb 7200rpm 8mb
Secondary disk- Seagate 160gb 7200rpm 8mb
Windows Xp Professional SP2

I have my Fs9 on my second disk (its not maxed out), i have some scenery from Aerosoft, Ai (project ai at 50% on traffic setup). From Wilco (Airbus 1 and 2)PMDG (737)Level D (767).

I also have installed the avg and Commodo firewall , threat fire anti-spy ware.All this to let you know what is going on,on background programs.

I guess my machine is not perfect, but its ok (for fs9).The thing is this machine will not go beyond 15/19 fps (and i have them set for 25fps limit).I guess this machine can handle anything you can put in fs9.
Any ideas??


i know that some times there isn't enough info so I'm sorry.I hope this is better for you guys to help me.Many thanks.

..a perfectly good Spec for FS 2004... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

If you have everything maxed, (as I do), then a Frame Rate locked at 25 FPS, and showing a reasonably steady Frame Rate of 19 FPS most of the time, seems OK to me...;)...!

...as long as it's "smooth", it's fine...;)...!
