External View (spot) locks up only in Dallas area, did a clean install with same problem. Turned down graphics demand, same problem.

hmm, what plane are you flying maybe that has something to do w/ it. I know the Dallas area is a little slower than alot of other cities because of DFW, KDAL and the graphics that go w/ downtown but I don't have huge issues w/ it. What do you have your AI set at? Dallas is a very busy sky... but like I said... I live in Big D and fly here in flightsim probably way too much considering there is a whole world out there to explore but my issues w/ framerate slowdowns aren't so much that it's truely annoying unless I'm flying a very graphic intensive plane.

You could definately upgrade your video card and things would pep up though. You could probably get a good 128meg card for fairly cheap these days.. you might also want to look into a AGP card the transfer rate is faster and w/ your CPU (which is a little stronger than mine) and a little more Ram you would probably be fine.
