I know how you feel Alrot. Been right there and although my computer isn't super I so much appreciate what I have compared with what I used to have. Can be very frustrating.

If you find it so bad you could really help yourself by turning off the clouds completely and fly with totally clear skies. You should find that it really improves FS.

Be proud Alrot. There arn't many of us left now who measure our processor speeds in Mhz.

i share the same gripe about FS, i bought a 256mb video card a while ago and i made just about no difference at all to FS...

all my other games look amazing and run incredibly fast, exept....

FS performance is all about CPU power.....

I think the front side buss and trhe RAM speed is just as important as the CPU clocks.

best,
