a fellow Aussie . . .. nice to meet you!

With a system like that you should be able to run FS2002 nearly at full settings. FS2004 might have issues due to the clouds. But it is a nice quick system.

Yeah, that's with everything maxed out. It doesn't seem to be as much of a problem using a weather preset but when using real world weather.. woa! The framerate drop is very noticable. I'm guessing if I slid the graphical goodies back a bit I wouldn't have a problem though. With them maxed and not many clouds around I get a minimum of 28 fps. ( i have it locked at 30) It usually sets right at 30 though.

clouds are probably the most intense thing on fs...there is texture replacements for them that improve things alot by reducing the file sizes by half. find them at all major fs sites... hope this helps
