My 10-year-old son, who became a dab hand at flying the C172 inverted under most London bridges in FS98, is extremely fed up with FS2000 which I got for Xmas because our computer cannot handle it properly.
The note on the box said min requirements 166Mhz, 32MB etc etc and while our machine is 200MHz, has 96MB, plenty of space HD space, the frames rate is so low the sim is like a slide show (2.5 to 8frames pc with lowest density for scenery etc).
I now need to spend about £500-£600 upgrading the computer to run the sim properly. I can say that I am not best pleased with Microsoft for publishing apparently misleading info on the sim packaging.
FS2000 experts reckon you need at least a 500MHz processor, 256MB ram and graphics card with at least 16MB, but preferably 32MB RAM to make it work properly at around 30 frames per sec.
