I really want to try to run flight simulator 2004 (already have x-plane).
I have two computers, but I need to know if the simulator will run
acceptably (20-30 frames per second) on the following systems. Thanks !

1. What's the result (quality) of using Microsoft Flight Simulator on an
Apple Powerbook G4 1 gz with 700+ram on OS 10.3.3 using Virtual PC?

2. How well does Microsoft Flight Simulator run on a Pentium III 500 mhz
PC with 128 ram?


I get 20-30 frames per second on this (800x600, all sliders maxed but no
generated/fake scenery and no glare/lens/special effects, and default
weather settings).

....Athlon XP 2400+ (2 GHz) CPU
....512 MB, 133 MHz RAM
....GeForce3 video which is faster than low end GeForce4

Except in cities where it might fall to 15 FPS.








Please reply to this newsgroup, I cannot use my email address for non-
work related stuff.

Thanks
