The patch is great !!!!I had tried top end videocards hoping to get just what the patch delivered. But only the patch was needed. I returned the videocards because I was not getting what the patch gives. And then came the patch...Great patch. It dilevered what I was not getting. Thanks MSallen

>I really can't believe that the patch would give you equal to>better performance then a high end videocard..what system are>you running.. i really doubt that the patch is that>magical...I never said it replaced the high frame rates of these cards Im saying that for "what I was looking for" it did the repair the problem enough, whereas not the high end cards "pre-patch" with which I had tried to alieviate the problems I had at that time.I prefer 14 fps with smooth autogen loadings and reduced stutters to a stuttering 55 fps. But of course both is better. Much better. I just say the patch works for me.allen

I feel the same way. I was thinking about upgrading to a new video card, but with Autostart and the patch, I feel I can wait another year or so when I plan to buy a new system and replace this lowly one I have. I can now use that money for more add-ons. Thanks Microsoft!

>... I can now use that money for>more add-ons. Thanks Microsoft!ExactlyUnless you have been accustomed to the higher frame rates, it now is flyable with the patch at the lowly rates of 12 to 30 fps.allen

Well FYI a new video card does not even make much a difference for flight simulator anyways, a fast CPU and loads of ram will do much more than the best video card could hope for. Of course this is the other way around for FPS games...Best Wishes,[h4]Randy J. Smith[/h4]http://www.rawbw.com/~bdoolin/shinault/Animation1.gifCaution!
