FPS target for new system

[hokkaidobhoy]

I was wondering if someone could tell me what target FPS I should set for FS2004 with my computer. It was set at 20 and I changed it to 30, however my Just Flight Concorde Professional is still a bit jerky with these settings. I already have most of the sliders at around 70-80%.

Also, is it possible to fly on VATSIM while using FS Passengers at the same time?

My specs are as follows:

[ch9632]Intel Core

With some more RAM you could run FSX pretty well, but I don't see how you can get bad fps in FS2004 with that . I play it full my system (sig)
Only lag with auto gen on ultra dence in major citys

I've seen systems with far less horsepower than that run FS2004 with everything maxed out and get perfectly smooth flight. Something else may be going on. You should be able to run FSX with that system.

Did you set-up XP following Nick's guide? If not, do it now step by step! Don't leave anything out. Defrag that HUGE drive by his guide.

Thanks for the replies, lads. I am thinking about using FSX one day, but I want to be able to use my Concorde, which is only suitable for FS2004.

What fps would it be a good idea to set my machine at? Why is there such a function in the first place.

Also, where is the guide for defragging the hard drive? I'll have a look for it, but just in case...

Again, thanks for your input.

P.S. Would FS Passengers and VATSIM together be okay?

Wow, the Just Flight PSS Concorde must be an incredibly detailed plane. I can fly the Posky 777 (I know it's not that fps hard) in FS2004 in big cities with all settings on full. On my laptop. Specs in my sig.

*And I don't even have an i7, but a crappy Core 2 Duo *

PS: You can use Piriform Defraggler or the default MS Defrag tool.

Edit: Yes, in heavy cloud conditions too.. a stable, healthy 14-17 FPS.

FSX is another problem though.. (That's why i'm glad i'll be getting REX soon :-))

SubZero. I should have been expecting that!

I'm hoping to buy a new GPU for my laptop soon myself.. probably a 8800M GTX/S or 9800M ...

But yeah.. use whatever you want there are probably many more good defragmentation tools internet-wide.

No, use O&O only. I don't understand why people come here, ask for help and then don't do it! Read the sticky. The other types of defrag tools may do it but probably not. We know that O&O will. Why not use the correct tool for the job!

You mean... you understood that small bit of Faroese my mind was actually able to make sense of?
