What settings should i be able to fly with??

[Curtisimo81]

I have an amd atholon 64x2 2.2ghz processer, 3 gigs ram, ati radeon 4650hd video with 1 gig ram, 250 gig 10000rpm hd, and it seems on all high i only get around 15-18 and all maxed out except weather on medium i get round 10-12, what can i do to get better fps???  Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
Shut down any programs you don'd need before starting fs9

Play around with the hardware resolution settings but be aware if your running in windows mode or full screen.

The higher the res, the slower the frame rate can be. If in windows mode, for dual screen for example, the resolution is the settings you can do either from desktop, ie right click and select properties and setup your preferred res there or via control panel with the display icon.

If full screen the setting within fs9 on the options/display/hardware screen will be used.

I find if I have res high and have dense clouds, mine drops to around 18 but can get 24 ish and i don't think my spec is as high as yours.

Try a clear day, and no fog settings. I think there are so many settings within fs9 that can slow it down that you'll have to play around until it's fairly smooth.

Any lag on the flight sim is a no no.
