There are a couple of options if I understand the question. Fly from the 2D cockpit rather than the VC. Use simple skins. Turn down other settings like AI.

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

Well your specs are pretty weak, that would explain it. You need more RAM at least, I'm sure that is a big part of the problem

Yes, minumum. Usually when something lists a minimum requirement it's not recommended. Look at the back of the FS9 box. It says minimum requirements are a really slow processor, a 64MB graphics card, and 128MB RAM. I have a fairly quick processor, a 256MB graphics card, and 1 gigabyte of ram and I STILL can't run FS at maximum settings.

When I upgraded my RAM from 256mb to 1gb, it didn't make my computer run any faster - but it made it run smoother, and it could do a whole lot more before it slowed down or got overloaded.

RAM is a whole lot cheaper than it used to be, I'd suggest the single biggest improvement you can make in this case is to get more of it.

If your Hard Drive kicks in now and again (observe the light) whilst flying, spooling scenery data for the Sim and slowing everything down, then you do not have enough RAM installed... Wink

...!

Once I have started the Sim, my Hard Drive has no further use, all my data is stored in my fast RAM.

If something says it needs 512Mb RAM, remember to add that figure to anything else using RAM at the same time (ie, your operating system).
If XP is using 512Mb of your systems 512Mb RAM and you add another app requiring 512Mb of RAM, you will need another 512Mb RAM for it to use.

Incidentally, if you're also using firewall / anti-virus / other background prog's, you'll need sufficient RAM for all.

Sadly, it depends.
But for your system it might be good news.

First priority is to make sure it's exactly the same as the RAM you have already.
There are different speeds / latency's etc.

I also belong to the Build Your Own P.C. forum.
If you post your specs on there they'll tell you exactly what you need.

They're easy enough to fit providing you have the right stuff.

Cool
