Hello Plainsman. Many thanks for your reply. My interest is mainly for airliners of the 1960s and 70s; I find I can access a lot of freeware that models these and also airports of the period, but almost solely for FSX or earlier, hence my thoughts in that direction. I must admit my main concern was for the graphics card being able to support the four screen set up - I felt the CPU and RAM would probably be a bit ott for FSX, but would allow me to dabble with eurotruck and train sims when I fancied an occassional change of challenges. Kind regards

Hi Folks. In need of a little advice. I'm in the process of setting up my flight sim. "cockpit" having been away from simming for some years. Basically going for a four screen set-up, with FSX and Windows 7. Considering a 10 core 5.2 GHz CPU, 32 GB RAM and AMD Radeon 12 GB graphics card. Are these likely to be man enough for the job? I will want to turn the detail up to take full advantage but have no experience of using FSX to know what hardware specs are required to keep it running smoothly. (I'd rather rely on experience than what it says on the tin any day!) Can any time served FSX pilots help, please? Wolfie
