Hey Guys,
I have a question,
I have an old Pc, Athlon, 1Ghz, GF5200FX 128mb ram, 256mb sdr ram, Sound Blaster Live Eax, what more, i cant remember, ah a 32x cd rom.
If you need to know more, i can tell you, but do you know how it runs on what settings ?
I want Fs9, I WANT A DH-88 Comet, and a DC3, I WANT IT.
But i´m 15, i cant buy me a new pc, just for one game...

You should upgrade the RAM to 512 and you won't have any serious problems.
I'm running a PIII 1GHz with 512mb SD-RAM, and a Ti4600 and getting good returns in FS9 on Windows XP Pro Wink

Should be no problem, i have win 98, it needs less ram, you think it may work ?

Go to the freeware screenshots forum and take a look at some of my pictures there, the most recent thread is Sushi at Shoreham Wink

Yeah, thanks ozzy, it looks quite well there. Are the frames ok ?
On Fs2002 it gets slow sometimes on my pc.
Thanks again.

If I fly into Heathrow with all sliders maxed (including AI), then FPS can drop as low as 8, but for normal hooning around I run at around 20-30 FPS no problem 8)

I have pretty much the exact same system and everything runs fine. I find sometimes mine runs slow but that's because I have a lot of complex addons. Take a look at any of my screenshots too if you wish.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink
