Just got the Flight1 Ultimate Terrain USA. Dont know why I did without consulting the minds here in the forum.
QUESTION...
Does this add on create much of an impact on a medium performance computer frame rate?
I have an ATI video card with 256 meg onboard RAM, Pentium 4,and 2 gig of ram. Nothing major by a long shot.

Four of my favourite add-ons for my Flight Sims are "Ultimate Terrain USA", "OrbX FTX Global", "Accu Feel" and "Instant Scenery 3".

UT USA and FTX Global dramatically improve the realism of my FS 2004 and FSX with no noticeable frame rate hits, either on my previous Pentium 4, 2.8 GHz Processor, or my present Intel i7, 3.4 GHz Processor!
"UT USA" brings the whole USA scenery to life, with its roads, railways, waterways, and coast lines..
...and "FTX Global" shows very accurate scenery mesh!
("FS Global SE" for my FS 2004)

Whichever add-on you have, either for FS 2004 or FSX, they are always worth a try!

"UT USA" is particularly realistic on FSX because of FSX's moving traffic!

My daily USA scenery flights are highly realistic, according to Videos and Photographs I see!

If you like "scenery", you wont be disappointed with "UT USA", either for FS 2004 or FSX!.... ...!

Your computer,per the specs you show,would run circles around my computer. My video card has only 256mb RAM,...my RAM on the motherboard is 2 gig,...my processor is a Pentium 4 at around 3 ghz. And my hard drives are the old type that are connected using the wide ribbon cable. Yep,...it's been stone age for me far too long,but my finances keep me there for the foreseeable future. So,...frame rate hits from even the simplest addons dont surprise me anymore.

If you thought that my Computer specs are truly amazing....

...you should experience my Briggs and Stratton Petrol Lawn Mower in my list....

...that would surely blow you away!
