I purchase a PNY GeFORCE FX.5200 PCI/Verto-2D-3D, 128MB graphics card for my system. Had to upgrade the power supply to accomadate it. After loading the drivers and such, I am still having the sticking issues, during gameplay, when I am at an airport with high traffic or if my aircraft window faces a direction where there are high traffic. How can I resolve the issue of speeding up the game with such a high end graphic card?

What are the rest of your system specs?

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Coppershot it won't do you any good to update a video card if you only have say 64 megs of ram.
It is your systems ram along with your cpu that controls the speed at which your system runs. A faster video card will not help a slow cpu or a system with not much ram.
It's like trying to accerlate your car with your foot on the brake Grin

I have a 733mhz microprocessor, about 5 gigs left for storage and 256 mb of memory. Thanks for asking the question first ozzy. Get back to me with what you think. Thanks.

Your processor and lack of RAM seem to be the problem here. 512mb of RAM will give much better performance.
Other things you can do are;
defrag the hard disk regularly
make certain no background programs are running

Coppershot I agree with ozzy The more ram you can add the better. Not sure How much if any you can add due to the processer you are using. But if you have a empty slot or a slot not maxed out it would help alot.
And as ozzy has said make sure nothing else is running.
Lots of luck
