Hi guys I bought my first FS this week (FS9) and I have seen a lot of things in this and other forums regarding bad performance due to a computer that it is not fit for the task, so I wanted to know if any of you is using a set up like mine and getting good results. I'm very interested on getting screen shots as beautiful as the ones I've seen here........well at least I'll try my best :-[

This is my set up:

Intel (R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHZ (2CPUS)
1 GB RAM
DIRECT X9
RADEON X300 SE 128 MB HYPERMEMORY (ATI) 32 BIT 60HZ
160 GB Hard Drive

Thanks for any comments guys
Dan

Nothing wrong with that setup as far as Fs9 goes. Some careful organization and a few tweaks should have you kickin' some nice 'shots. Are you XP?

[Dan Morera]

Yes sir, W XP. Could you please tell me more about the careful organization and a few tweaks that you mention? Please keep in mind that I have no experience with the FS2004 (please explain like if I was an 8 year old) :oops:

And thank you
Dan :D

heh, 8 year olds already understand this stuff :lol: , how 'bout I relate it like a middle aged fart who had to figure it out on his own and still doesnt know half of it?

[Dan Morera]

That's sounds about right lol :wink:
