Posted: Fri Feb 06, 2004 5:36 pmin that case, more ram and a non intergrated graphics card, the P4 should be just fine, of course dont know if its 800FSB or 533FSB but either way it should be good enough

Posted: Fri Feb 06, 2004 8:47 pmYeah your processor is fine. More RAM and a good video card would do the trick.

Posted: Sun Feb 08, 2004 12:51 pmYup, fine cpu, ram needs to be much improved..... 
512mb as a minimum and an FX5700 or better will bring you one hell of an improvement, no question.

Re: Frame Rates
Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2004 11:38 amMy frame rate is about 15 and descents to 6 when there is bad weather. Is it my GeForce 4 ti 4200 that causes this terrible rates. Any suggestions???
Re: Frame Rates
Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2004 2:26 pmWell it's not likely the Video card alone will take it that low in FPS.
What are your system specs?

Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2004 6:46 amMy apologies bm_727,
I hope you don't mind me posting this in for Black Thunder.........
Black_Thunder,
My spec is AMD XP2600+ 333mhz FSB, 1024mb PC2700, (I checked while the sim is running and I have around half my ram still free), 80gig Seagate HDD, GeForce 4 Ti4200 8XAGP.
You see we have a similar spec.
The following screenshot was taken over Hong Kong in FS2004, 1152 x 864 x 32 resolution, 4Sx antialiasing on, anisotropic filtering off. Everything else pretty maxed out.
Here I was getting around 18 FPS despite the dense scenery and clouds with antialiasing.
I'd say you have room for improvement.
