specs:

athlon AMD 2000xp 1,7mhz <--- is this why i have lag? ???
a gig ram
ATI radeon 256mb AGP 8X

getting about 1-2 fps around Princess Juliana Intl, but that's only when i look towards the island... facing the ocean i get about 12 fps... :P

i managed to get the water effects slider up to 2X low, however, the autogen and scenery slider need to be at sparse or less so i can get anyhing flyable

overall, my water looks great, but my ground looks like FS2004 after you just came out of 128X time accel :(

road traffic looks weird, i can only see the shadows of the cars, unless i get VERY close.... the same happens with some of the boats............

i haven

I have the same processor, but I get around 12-18FPS constant. I have less RAM also, and a GeForce FX 5600XT (128mb).

I've turned off all autogen, but put all textures to highest, aircraft settings to highest, and water settings as high as my graphics card can handle. I also have 100% AI aircraft with ground vehicles at the airport. Turn these off, and I can also have 100% road traffic with playable frame rates.

Just going to have to reduce your settings until you get some decent results.  Make sure nothing is running in the background that doesnt need to be too!

As for the pilot, mine is missing out of the Baron too!!

It does.  Go to the learning centre, click on getting started, and click introductary flight.  It has a start with a cinematic feel, and some guy rambling on about why you're here with FSX, watch the screen near the bottom carefully.  At some point, in the water, you'll see something which looks like a still dolphin (maybe its dead or something).

people must put the plastic harnesses on six packs on the  in the water in fsx too (the dolphins get them stuck around their nose in real life and suffucate)
