How would I be able to get more FPS, I don't really want to get any new equipment , and I updated my drivers

I don't really know all these computer terms, but this is what I have......

1 64GB hard drive
1 15GB hard drive
800 MHz processer with 256mb of ram
Intel 82810E graphics controller I think it has 32mb of memory but i'm not sure

If anybody could help that would be great

The graphics card is holding you back, it is using the CPU and system RAM in-order to work, getting a separate graphics card will improve performance massively depending on what you get, and whether you have an AGP slot?

My system:Intel Q6600@3.6GHz, Corsair XMS2 4GB DDR2-6400 (4-4-4-12-1T) , Sapphire 7850 OC 2BG 920/5000, X-Fi Fatality, Corsair AX 750, 7 Pro x64

If I understand what Hi-D is saying, your graphics card is linked to/sharing your RAM. I had that problem when I bought my newest Compaq. He has the right idea to get a new, seperate graphics card. That will help your simulation incredibly. If you have the cash, get 128Mb video card. If you have even more money, get a 256Mb card. Although, if money is tight, a 64Mb card would get you decent gameplay.

Awwww, crap!

Considering you have a built in graphics controller, it is highly unlikely you have an AGP slot. You will need to get a PCI Graphics card.

Also double your RAM to a total of 512.

Unfortunately, you're not left with many options, other than to upgrade some areas of your computer.

MINIMUM. The more you can get, the happier you'll be.

And keep in mind that these improvements will help with most other areas of computing, not just simming and gaming.

Good luck!
