Running FSX on a laptop

[Daycab]

I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips for running FSX on my laptop, It's a 1,73 gig Dual Core with 3 gigs of ram and I'm not sure about the video card, but I don't think it's much.

Any suggestions would be helpful...

I suggest FS9 ;) Will run much more smooth and there are plenty of addons out there that surpass fsx for fs9. Do find out what your graphics set is. You can find it under Device Manage>Display Adapters.

I'm running FSX on a Laptop (2GHz SingleCore and 1Gig RAM, X700 ATI Card); it works but I bet FS2004 would be better - since your system is far better than mine I'd give FSX a try!  ;)

I run it on both desktop and lappy. My laptop is Acer TravelMate 7720, Duel core 2.2 Ghz with 2 Gig and a ATI 2400 XT graphic card. I run FSX at about 18 FPS with very reasonable graphic settings.

I wouldn't overload FSX with add ons though, don't get too many.

I can run FSX on my laptop (Core Duo 1.66 GHz, 1 G Ram) but not very well.  I could not run Acceleration, however.  My integrated graphic card couldn't handle it.  Things are much better on my desktop.

i run fsx on my laptop on max settings except for like ground vehicals and i get no lag at all. I also got my catalyst control center settings to max on everything. The results are very pleasing and i do the same with every game except crysis which i have to run on low medium and some high settings.

its not a joke i run fsx on high settings, my graphics are set to max and aircraft detail is set to max, except weather, traffic and scenery is set to custom and ground objects like cars i set to min because im flying not driving and yes not everything is to the right and no the custom settings are actually at medium high settings and it just went to custom because i took off crap i dont want. i run about 15-30 fps depending on what im doing, and i dont need to run anything more than 25 fps for this type of game.

when i play games i want to look at a clear crisp picture not some blocky, edgy bs.  I dont know its just my laptop is just that good and it plays everything i throw at it. When i bought my laptop it had ATI's top of the line laptop graphics card which is now probably obsolete, but it does the job well.

i never wrote that i play crysis at max settings what i wrote was i "run on low, medium and some high settings."
