Well, after gettin are new computer, I am now getting a good 7-10FPS in FSX with pretty high settings (but, Bi-linear filtering)
I decided to go out on a limb and try for the first time, the Amazon trek mission.
Wow.
I decided to go ahead and accept the "extra" mission and try to find the snake temple.
I finally found it, taxied into the little area. and waited.
HOLY !@#@!!!
When the snake heads came out of the ground I was admittedly surprised.
