I am having a servere problem with FS2004.I have a Toshiba Satellite 1415 laptop. It comes with an NVIDIA GeForce 4 Go video card with 16 Mbs. When I use FS2004 with my laptop, the frame rate is absolutely HORRIBLE! I am getting max about 8 frames per second with all of the graphics options turned off or at thier minimum! When I turn them all the way up, I get 2 frames per second. Even with all the options turned up, the graphics look terrible. With FS2002, I can turn the options all the way up and I get 50 frames per second, and the graphics are great. I wanted to use FS2004 so I can look at the taxiway signs and fly the DC3, my favourite aircraft, but I am very dissapointed at the performance. What is so new in FS2004 that the frame rate goes to nothing? Why is it so slow with the options turned off? Any one else expereience this problem? I really appreciate any help with this. I don't want to have to return FS2004!
