And that is not mentioned on the AeroflyFS website. Myself and at least one other experienced simmer (William Ortis, a.k.a. Lionheart) have purchased the sim, waited weeks for delivery, spent 2 hours installing it, only to be greeted with the message that our graphics card is out of date.My card is an Nvidia GForce 7950GT, vintage 2007, while Bill's is a Radeon 2600 XT, vintage 2010.The error message says there is a list of suitable graphics cards on the AeroflyFS website, but I have not been able to find it.My 7950GT runs FSX, Flight, Rise of Flight very well. So I feel cheated - if AeroflyFS had made it clear what the video card requirements are, I would never have purchased the sim.Do you have any suggestions for a suitable graphics card? My PC has an AMD FX62 dual-core CPU.

Did you upgrade the graphic card drivers before installing the game? This was recommended... My PC and card are at least 4 years old - and my Radeon drivers definitely needed updating.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I did that before trying to install AeroflyFS - I am at 295.73 on my 7950GT.An update, though. IPACS Support says:''The problem is not, that your 3D card doesn't support Shaders (your card does that just fine), but your card is missing to important extensions (texture arrays and RG textures) that are required by aerofly FS. These cannot be added by updating the drivers, they are real "hardware features".''I would like to know what newer Nvidia cards work well with AeroflyFS?

I found an EVGA GTX-550ti on Amazon Canada for $147, ordered it at 9am Tuesday, it arrived 3pm Wednesday, and an hour later I was flying Aerofly FS at 60 fps! They should really add a list of suitable graphics cards to the requirements page on the Aerofly FS website.

Lionheart use a Radeon 2600 XT ?!? ........... man, you both have old cards, not really suited to any flight sim. I got you got a 550 and are enjoying the sim now.

Nvidia G80 and later (GeForce 8x00 series) which came out in 2006, or six years ago.
