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.


Ah the bane of laptops ...
What graphics chipset is it using?
Does it have dedicated video memory or does it use shared system memory?

If it's one of those slow (practically non-accelerated) Sis or Intel jobs
with shared video memory you're unlikely to have a nice flight experience
anyway. Flying with less than 1 frame per second is no fun.
