Hmm isn't the Radeon 9200 from year 2003 or something like that ?
If this is really the case, I would strongly suggest you to forget about FSX. :/

There is no such thing as "Overkill" when it comes to graphics cards.  I went for "cheap" at first on my old computer, then worked my way up, and ended up wasting a lot of buckaroos before the lightbulb went on, and I went for "expensive".  In the end, it's best to go big or stay home, even if you have to save up for a couple of weeks or months.

Hi Derek, you'll have to turn the quality down a lot.
Until christmas I had a radeon 9250 which was new with the pc in 2005.
My processor in the pc is a 3.2GHZ and that helped it cope, now replaced video card with latest agp 1gb card and changed memory to 2gb (5 weeks ago the wife treated me to a new laptop but the PC is still far from the quality of a modern laptop..

I hope you didn't spend much on the graphics card.

As an example, near to Logan international

May the Mynd be with you.
So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs.

It's only 128mb isn't it ??

I would have thought that even FS2004 would struggle with that low setting ??
