I didn't set details to low for not needed to. Currently most of setting are set on high, I can maintain 20-40 fps in area that I'm flying (8Q0) but since I got sim 6 hours ago, I didn't fly that much. I'll see how it performs in large cities.

My system.
Xp2000+ /GF4 4400 /512Mb Ram Pc2700/

btw FS04 runs much better then FS02 IMHO.

My defult installed directory is 2,66 GB. I used max install, but minual install requies something around 1.5G.

Looks hi-res to me, and quite good.

Fltsim 2002 runs great on my system, and I will buy this once Fltsim 2002 runs is course. I hear the ATC is way improved, and that's why I will upgrade if for nothing else. Plus, it will have tons of fixes and addons like the rest of the series in due time.

Great pic of the DC-3 if thats what it is. Ill try and find my 737 shot from fs2002, it's like looking out our hangar door.

Could you post a picture of LAX?

I haven't noticed a FR drop between '02' and '04'. I just got it yesterday so that's a very preliminary judgment.

So far I really, really, like it!

Best thing about those flight sims is trying to land with gear up. or take a 747 and try and to a loop at 20k.

I have a 1gig PIII, GeForce2. Dont think that game would run on my system.

How about practicing real world procedures? That should save me couple hundred bucks when I get my PPL.

Does this have ATC interaction? I thought one of this MS sims had some sort of voice recognition that would actually respond to your requests for take-off etc...

Or am I smoking dope?

Nice screen shots. Might have to go out and by this, even tho you can't shoot anyone down...
