Graphics Are Choppy On My High-End Machine

[rustywater]

I recently upgraded my computer (2.8 GigHz, 512 Mb Ram, GForce4 Ti 4600 (128 Mb Ram Video), WidowsXP Pro), and my MS Flight Sim 2002 is running choppy. It seems that it isn't using the accelerated drivers. It use to work smoothly on my 1.0 Gig computer on my Windows 98se machine and I would think it would be much better on this one. My other games work very well and smooth (even Lo-Mac for crying out loud). Can I say "Lo-Mac" on this forum? Anyway, is there a patch that I don't know about? Can anyone help me.

Thanks,
Russ

when u mean choppy do u mean running choppy on full settings?.... i would defragment your hard drive and reinstall latest drivers and direct x9. then go to google and search for enditall. this will close any programs you have running in the background so you get the most out of the cpu as far as performance goes whilst running fs.

i would also check bios to make sure the agp rate is set at 4xagp not 1 or 2x and that the aperature size is at 128mb also.. if this doesnt help try back here and im sure the forum users can sort it out... fs2002 should run fine at mostly high settings... i had a ti4200 128mb on an athlon thunderbird 1.4 and it run very smootly even fs9 did

hope this helps

I purchased FS 2004 and it worked fine. It must be something that FS 2002 didn't like about my system. I didn't change anything in the bios or anything... just installed the newer version of Flight Simulator, boosted up some detail and it works B-E-A-Utiful. There should be no choppiness on a 2.8 Gig computer anyway (that is, unless you're running Lock-On Modern Air Combat). Thanks for your help.

This will work better than enditall.its called FSautostart go to the download section in the link.it will shut down non used back ground programs you chose and it starts up flight simulator and when you close flight simulator it restarts back ground programs.neat program.it works great for me.one good thing about this program is its made for running fs2004.
