Will FS2K2 work on my PC?

[George_Alpha_Lima]

I have been looking to buy FS 2002 but before I do I was wondering if my machine is up to the job, if its not I wont waste my money. Currently I am running a Pentium 4 1.6Ghz, 128MD SDRAM and a 16MB Graphics card. And if I were to run FS 2002 on this what would I expect to get for fps? Anyones input is appreciated, Thanks :-wave

I belive it will run on your comp although not very well, you may want to get another 128 or 256 mb of ram, just to kind of speed it up. My friend runs the same rig only with 256 mb ram and gets about 15-20 FPS its ok, but having everything cranked may not be the best idea.

Hi,

Looking at your spec, you had got quite a fast pc! The only thing is that you MUST get a good solid Gracphic card! 16mb isn't enough at all. You should get a 64mb or 128mb-type GC.

For your information, I'm running my FS2002 on PII 350mhz with a 32 mb ATI Randeon 7000 GC. By setting a maximun of 2 to 3 aircrafts at the airport(tuning from the Flightplans and DISPLAY option basically set to low-medium setting), I get around 14fps at the airport with 2 or 3 aircrafs, and 22fps with no aircarf at all in those "low-medium" designed airports. The moment I'm at the crusing altitide, I constantly get 22-23 fps with Cloud Density set to 10. I locked my frame rate at 23.

I don't fly to those heavyly-designed airports like KLAX, KSFO, VHHH, EGLL, LFPG and etc. because my frame rate will reduced to 1 ro 5 fps!

I guess all the major USA airport are very detail-designed that required one to have a fast pc to fly in and out of these airports. That is why I don't flying in the USA. I fly around Europe, Africa and Asia where the airport are designed in "medium" complexity. Of cause, airports like Hearthrow, Paris, Bruseels in Europe,Hong Kong in Asia are very complex! I don't fly to these airports too.

So, go get your FS2002 now, you surely will enjoy it very much!

* By the way, by fine tuning your flightplans.txt, I get a lot of AI traffics while on the air and during cruising which does not effect my frame rate at all!

Cheers,
