1 Week till release and I am here planning alternates. What a sickness.Anyway. Here is my problem. I am buying COF the first day available. However, My 600MHz Celeron is right at system minumums. Now I have heard mixed signals on how it will fly.I am very satisfied with FS2002 on my system. I have made some compromises with reflections, the amout of AI traffic (50% most of the time) and amount of Autogen, and that does it for me.If I have to devoid all of FS2004 of anything interesting to run smoothly (15FPS or above, by FS2k2 standards), I will most likely stick with FS2002 until I upgrade my rig.So here's the question. The planes are one of the reasons I am excited, because this years offering is HUGE. Will FS2k4 planes be compatible with FS2002. I know it's a wierd request, but has anyone flown the DC-3 in FS2002, or anyone of the other planes in FS2002?If so, that would make COF a truly no brainer....

No, the FS2004 aircraft aren't backward compatable.

I know how fs2k2 flys on a celeron clocked at 550mhz...while I can't say how you'd see it, I'd be looking for upgrade options. are any of the faster cpus compatible with your motherboard? Could be pretty low cost to change cpus.Bob Bernstein
