Default Best Soaring Simulator??

Does anyone know if any of these simulators work on Laptops. I tried
installing Silent Wings, but it refused because the graphics card
wasn't up to it.

All depends on the Notebook.

My HP NC8230 (1.86Ghz, 512MB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon X600 with 128MB dedicated
RAM.) does a fine job on SFS-PC.

Have to drop the resolution from 1680x1050 to something more reasonable -
1200X800 is fine.

All of the simulators do a lot of texture rendering so expect to need a decent
OpenGL capable card for good results.
