I posted this message before but it did not seem to show upin the forum so I hope this does not end up as a double. :-(I have a 1.8ghz with 512 ram and nvidia gforce3 64mb ram videocard.Is it worth upgrading to fs9 with my system? :-hmmmI asked this in another forum and they said that it would run just as good as fs2002 but I'm skeptical.I am fine with 2002 and don't see a need to upgrade just to get better looking clouds. :-roll

What the other forum said is correct.My son is running FS9 quite happily on a system with the exactly same specs as yours.He flies online using all the other programs you need to do that with no problem.He gets respectable frame rates.Dave

You will struggle IF you set the cloud slider up. There are many great tweaks here on the forum that can help increade FPS so I would go for it. I would like to add that I personally think FS9 should be pulled from the shelfs and burned for it's stupid unrealistic over sensitive TRIM!!!!!!!!!, just fly the default Cessna around to see what I mean ;(...[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J.

I have an AMD 1800, 512 ram but my Graphics card is a Geforce 4 128meg. I run all sliders maxed, 3D clowds 100% (range 40mi) and my frames at the defult start point drops to 8 when I have more than 3 AI on the screen. I adverage 20 FPS.
