Hello. Since LevelD Sim is getting ready to come out and I am still using FS2002 I need some advice on how much of a new computer system I will need to get to run FS2004 with level D Sim and everything basically maxed out. I also like to use FS Traffic from time to time too. I normally don't add much other scenery though. What will I need to have everything run smoothly so it can be enjoyed? If it wasn't for the Level D I think I would stick with FS2002. PIC 767 is basically all I fly. Any advice on this would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.Aaron.

HiThere is no computer that will run flight sim 2004 with everything maxxed out. Sorry, but thats the way it is.

Recommend 1GB of RAM and something around 3.0Ghz processor and a 128MB graphics card.

Hey Aaron, If my 2.8Ghz, 512mb RAM can run the PMDG 737NG with VC without a problem I fully expect it to run this, especially without scenery add ons....Best RegardsBoone,[email protected]"Flying a plane is no different from riding a bicycle.

Thanks Boone and Eric for your responses. Aaron.

Lots of ram (1g), fast cpu (>3ghz), good quality MB (Asus, MSI) and a mid to high level graphics card (i.e ATI X800) and you should be happy. Take a look at a site like www.firingsquad.com to get up to speed on whats hot and what not.If you dont fancy putting one together yourself, buy from a quality brand (cant go wrong with Alienware). Avoid HP, Compaq et all!!!
