Oh right this helps a lot thanks, just tryinng to plan the next course of action with my flying and like most people would like to do it in the most constructive cost efficient way. I have a recent HP laptop pavillion 3gb Ram Core2 duo processor but expected it to be a bit slow, I always had the impression that flight sims were a waste unless the Pc was super quick. But good point about not needing the scenery and wasting space with the amazing graphics of the airport! cheers guys
