November 9, 200223 yr Howdy,I noticed that you video card memory is reported at 2MB. That may have something to do with your frame rate. I have a Visiontek Xtasty Geforce 4 64MB card and my average frame rates are around 18-20 FPS. The sim is very smooth for me at those frames rates, but if your video card only has 2MB of memory, that's not going to be enough for Flight Simulator to run very well.Anyways, you might consider upgrading to a Nvidia Geforce card.Scott :-)ATP/CFIIP.S. I see your a fellow Falcon 20 pilot. I am typed in the Falcon 20, flew one for 4 years. Great Jet! N666DA, SN129.
November 9, 200223 yr Ahaha.. I had a similar system.. when i ran 2000.. but i had a voodoo 2yea 10 fps is amazing for that.. from what I see that s3 video card sucks.You are prob not even running fs in harware render.. Its prob stuck in software.10 fps is damn good for what u got.. U hsould be happy
November 9, 200223 yr It's a nice jet, very easy to fly, we have a fleet of about 15 Falcon 20's, 15 Lear 24's, 2 737's and 3 DC-9's. I think I'll buy one of these, probably run fs2k2 a lot better.
November 9, 200223 yr yeah, I run a fairly bad system:Intel Celeron 633mhz256mb SDRAM11mb Graphics Accelerator30gb HDDand I get only about 5 fps on the ground and 10 from the cockpit when flying. don't even mention spot view... :(You are doing amazing with what you've got. :)
November 9, 200223 yr I'm surprised a 266MHz system will even run FS2k2, let alone get 10FPS. Not bad.
