As was stated above, FS2K is a demanding program (some say too demanding and I'd agree). You should take a look at www.flightsim.com - there should be info there on tuning.
Make sure you have the latest patch from Microsoft.
If all else fails, give Fly!2K by Terminal Reality a try, although the new version of Fly! is due out soon.
PS - FS2002 has been announced... Either they'll fix the performance problems or we'll all need Pentium IVs!

Hi, like many others I had teething probs with fs2k (Pent III, 450MHz, 224Mb RAM, rage fury graphics card). After dowmnloading and installing ALL updates avbl (Direct X 8.0, FS2K patch 2, graphics card, sound card etc etc), things have settled down just fine. I'd like to echo the help avbl at www.flightsim.com - not only is there every goodie you'd like (FREE), but also pages of FAQ's and also a forum. Stick with it - I believe the rewards are worth it.

I forget the exact numbers but once you're over the coastline and in Oceanic airspace you should be doing about M0.95. You then have to re-ignite the afterburners until you reach about M1.5. Also, once you get to about 40000ft you should go into a cruise/climb where you climb at about 500ft/min. Any faster and you will lose airspeed. I don't have the book handy so as I said, these numbers may not be 100% accurate but I'm pretty sure one of these two solutions should help.

OK here are the details:
The steps:
1.) Load FS2000
2.) Choose an airplane of your choice
3.) Go to airport: Stanstead
4.) Once on runway taxi to any apron (as long as your not on the runway its OK)
5.) Do not choose any real world weather
6.) Go to Flights > Multiplayer > Connect
7.) Give yourself a callsign - preferably your Pprune name
8.) From the protocol list choose TCP/IP
9.) In the IP address box type the IP address and click SEARCH
10.) wait about 30 secs and in the sessions box choose 'Pprune flight' then click JOIN
and that should do it.
We can all chat using the FS2000 chat window. If this dissappears you can bring it back by
going to Flights > Multiplayer > Chat Window.
Lets see how it works out then.

Try Abacus FS Design Studio from www.abacuspub.com. It will cost you, though!
