Um...how smoothly does FS2004 run on your machine?

I only ask because you seem to have a lot running in your system tray...

I get around 14 FPS right now with sliders at max. I also have Traffic2004 installed so that slows my FPS as well. Yraffic2004 requires at least a 1.7Ghz processor.  Im only running a 1.5Ghz.  When I get around LAX, I have to put sliders at half in order to bring rates up to around 20 and thats with traffic at max.  Im not doing too bad though. The pic quality is good I thionk.  New system in the making. I have always built Pentiums, (this is my third) but the local parts store talked me into building an AMD this time around.

I love people who are "only" running 1.5ghz machines. Better than my Duron 950. Sorry, just getting a bit angry that my Athlon XP hasn't arrived yet. The guy who sold it to me had to send it by USPS. There's a reason they call it snail mail.

Close down the junk in your task bar before running FS and your frames will increase. Try running it on full screen mode as well.

And, nice shots. That's one fine lookin shela of an airplane by crikey.  ;D

fly in the full screen mode! you'll get better graphics and your shots will be a thousand times better...not that these aren't nice, but just try it, and you'll see what i mean!  ;)

Great shoots...
