May 2, 200521 yr Just out of curiosity, are the system requirements for the B747 and MD-11 correct? I inquired about the new PSS B777/B757 requirements, and they told me they would be "about like the Concorde". When I looked those up, they were way out of my league. I hope the requirements for the new PSS planes are listed correctly. If they are, I can still look forward to the new planes without a computer upgrade.Meanwhile, I am enjoying the two B1900 packages very much.Regards - Steve
May 2, 200521 yr Commercial Member Steve-to give you an idea-the PMDG 747-400 runs at 25-30FPS on my computer, in debug mode, with the debugger running, and a gazillion other services/programs in the background.My PC Specs:3.0GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, GeForce FX5900 256MB, average-speed hard drives.Most everyone else should be getting better performance than me, when the release version comes out, as it will be optimized etc.Hope this helps!

May 2, 200521 yr Thanks. I have a Dell Inspiron 8200 with a 1.8Ghz CPU, 32mb video card, and 512 mb RAM. The PMDG B747/MD-11 are the only future heavy products that list system requirements I can use.Regards - Steve
May 3, 200521 yr Steve... I have a similar 8200 with a 2.0 ghz CPU and a 64mb Radeon 9000 M and 1gb ram. The PMDG NG runs bad on mine, but how does it run on yours? (if you have the NG, of course :))
May 3, 200521 yr ALEX - I don't have the NG. The B1900's run fine. The DF 727, the Archer, Cardinal, 441, and 310 run fine. The Eaglesoft BJ and Hawker run OK. I quit using the FSD planes. If I upgrade, that will be like Christmas.I have been fooling around with the PSS Dash-8 and A340, both of which run very well. I was hoping for a full-featured heavy that would work on my machine, but it looks like SOL time. There is a lot to enjoy, still. I have no legitimate gripes beyond my wah-wah's.Regards - Steve
