those screenshots reinforce what was said earlier...your graphics card (or lack thereof) is the problem.

Hi War.ace,

In the mean time find a copy of FS 2004 and use that.

Hi War.ace,

In the mean time find a copy of FS 2004 and use that.

I only have about 150 dollars left, I dont want to buy anything else except a new computer that will play FSX delux acelleration. I wish there's a computer out there that cost only around 200 dollars canadian.

 

[JSkorna]

Nope. And surely not anything that is going to run FSX very well.

 

[war.ace]

atleast well? because I already lost a quarter of my money when I bought fsx gold

if you buy a decent graphics card you will be able to play fsx. maybe not as good as snuffy but still playable. how do i know? because my computer isn't even as nice as your and i fly fsx every single day.

i bought my graphics card at staples for less than $100 canadian.

here's what i have:
dell dimension 2400
widows xp/sp2
pentium 4 @ 2.8 (a single core proccessor)
2 gig ram, and a geforce fx5500 card which is not even pci-e it's pci slot.
no soundcard


if i can run fsx, so can you. you just need a card, and to play with your settings a little and definitely get a program (free) called alacrity pc

Hi all,
War.Ace what make is your machine.Yes you do need a decent graphics card.Nvidea or ATI.But please check whether you have an AGP or PCI-E slot or as my Son found out no slot at all.YES folks for the sake of cheapness some companies have been known to remove the graphics slot.If you let us know we can then say what type of card you should get.
