Strain on your system will more likely come from addon aircraft , AI aircraft, and scenery upgrades.

Thanks for the frame rate information. What is a good baseline frame rate?

I must have totally misunderstood the Global and Victor add-on; I thought they added or cleaned up the default scenery and texture. What do they actually do?

Any suggestions for a good scenery add-on?

Just wanting to see what this really can look like.

HINT: Try to limit everything running in the background!! There are a lot of processes that may self-run without your knowledge. They take up time your CPU doesn't have to waste! CPU SPEED IS THE END ALL BE ALL OF FS!

Perhaps you can offer some clarification. I am new to this hobby and was under the impression by adding the Global and Vector add-ons it would significantly increase the strain on the system; thus far I don't really see any strain.

I need to figure out how to check what my frame rate is to understand if its in the good/bad range too.

Is there something else, scenery-wise that I would add to increase the visual affects?

I'm running it on the following:

Intel Core i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30 GHz 2.30 GHz

AMD Radeon HD 7400M Display Adapter

16 GB RAM

2x 500GB SSD HDD

Windows 10 Pro (64 Bit)

I have FSX:SE and Orbx (Global and Vector) and I don't see any real issues with appearance and flight.

Of course I am only flying the Cessna 172 and Baron 58 right now as I just got into simulations.

Hope this helps.
