Some specs on your machine would help.

You should also read eno's post on FAQs here: http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2 ... 1160553241

There are some tweaks in there that MIGHT help.

Keep in mind, FSX is going to require a fairly beefy machine to run at reasonable frame rates with graphics turned up a bit.

Good Luck

Sorry yea im running Windows XP (with SP2 installed.) 2518 mhz processor and im using the Verto graphics card by PNY i think ive had this pc since 2002 so its quite old

If you want it to run faster, without any tweaks you would have to upgrade your computer. If you have low ram, upgrade that. Then a new processor?

If it's an '02 computer then I don't think I would bother upgrading that one to run FSX. You might be able to upgrade it enough to run FS9 decently.  Otherwise, wait until Vista comes out and buy you a good machine then.

Always remember, forget about Manufacturers "Minimum Requirements". Look at "Recommended" and consider that a low end or middle of the road set up to run a program.

Yeah That game a ram killer. I had 1 gig ram and had to play with all sliders on minimum. Well almost all. Then yesterday I ran to the store and picked me up 2 - 512 ram sticks and poped em' in. So then I had 2 gigs. Now I can play with all sliders on high, with some custom. I got my Pc in 2003
