Hi. Being a 550hr CPL and not flown for a few years I decided to purchase FS2004. I have loaded it into my computer. Its a Toshiba laptop. Im not computer savy and every now and then my machine shuts down during a flight. Is it a major computer problem. Can anyone list the minimum power, and computer bits,etc required to run this properly. I can get my IT guy to fix and problems once I know what I need. Cheers and hop to see you in the circuit.

FS is a very demanding simulation, so you probably won't get the most out of it on a laptop with integrated graphics, but, of course, this doesn't explain the unexpected shutdowns. Please post your setup specifications - processor, GPU, RAM, etc.Pat
