Ok now that i have realized that i can't get the 737 PIC (Needs 3.0 GHZ and i only have 2.6) {I also need a drop more of ram which dosn't concern me much but im not willing to take the risk} Sad

I was wondering if the A340 500/600 from CLS/ Just flight is a good buy. Once again, is it fully SP2 compatible? (they say it is but i dont trust that statement because my DC-10 Collection had ALOT of bugs with SP2, so many bugs that sometimes it is "unflyable") and also is it frame-rate friendly? Also im just wondering is it just an all around good buy, like very realistic, and easy to fly, but with complicated systems.
As always, thanks for posting replies!! Your replies help me ALOT!!
(Sorry for asking about two diffrent planes in two days, but i am in an URGE to get a good quality, but fun to fly payware Wink

Thats funny, the 737 flies well on my AMD 3800 dual core, now though I am on 3 gig. Same with A340 and the DC10. If you had problems with the DC10 then I`d be looking at your system first begore you move to another aircraft. It ran ok on my 3800 with Vista 32 bit, FSX and acceleration including SP1/2 and lots of other third party stuff.

I already checked, my sestem has all the minimum AND reccomended specs. Also i have the programs you need to have for it (FUSICP or whatever, and some other stuff)
So, in your opinion, do you think it will run good based on my system specs?:

FSX W/ SP1&2 No Acceleration
Windows Vista Premium SP1
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 4000+ 2.60 GHZ
1.00 GB Virtual DDR2 Ram
32 Bit OS

Although they do not seem popular on this forum, the Wilco airbus 1& 2 perform extremely well for me on SP2.

I am specificly looking at this product because it LOOKS like an all around good plane, but if somebody gives me any serious complaints i will probably not concider buying it (if there good enough complaints)

Try POSKY's A340's, if you can find a VC + a FDE update for them then I'd think they'd be about the same.

I think it's a quite good idea, go ahead.
