Hey Guys, wishing that your days are good to you.

Here's a wish that as far as I know don't exist. If it does, pass the info on to me and the others, if it don't, perhaps someone can put a "bug" in the ear of some programers.

When and while my super-duper computer that I use for my flying is down and being repaired or upgraded, I'm lost - - -I can't fly. THAT'S a DISASTER. What I " NEED " is a small flight simulator that has an airstrip and a small plane or two that I can practice my touch and go landings. No scenery other than right around the airstrip with a cloud or two perhaps. Something that don't need much oomph [power] to run it. Roll Eyes

My 2nd PC is such a wimp it struggles to just turn on

Anyway, - - - you get the picture. Any help ?

Have a good one, caveman

Hey Guys, You've made my day.

I had my old copy of "Fly" and it crashed right away. It never did play right for me though. However, I still have my copy of FS 2002.

BUT - - - this sorry 2nd PC of mine might not run it. Roll Eyes

Thanks Guys for the help. I hope to have my good PC back sometime next week - - - I hope - - -I hope- - -I hope. I'm also having the " Guy" upgrade my drivers and install 2 GB more of RAM, then I'll have 4 GB of RAM. Sometime soon I wish to add another 7900GTX. Little by little I'm getting there.

Thanks again for your help. Have a good one, caveman

Good morning Guys, sure hope your day goes well for you.

I think I should start a new post on this - - but to carry the thought - - -

igorski, THANKS MUCH for your input. Gave me much to think about. I "hear" you about the RAM. Perhaps the money would be better spent on another 7900GTX. I'm sure many of you Guys have a 7900GTX. What about a second one ?

Your input- - -thoughts - - - are indeed GREATLY appreciated.

Have a good one, caveman

If you are willing to do it, limit visibility to 5 miles and your puter will probably run FS 2k or FS 2k2. You said all you wanted to do is FLY,

YES?

well...? Go FLY!

Interestingly, I saw a copy of FS 2k2 at Target yesterday
