New to Sim...need faster framerates

[IntelHog 0]

Hi...I'm new to this sim, and although I think I can really get into this filght sim, right now it's way too slow, as far as frame rates go. I've updated the sim with the current patch, but still get crummy frame rates. My system isn't the problem I don't think...here's my specs:

 

1.3 Ghz Pentium 4

384 MB Ram/Rambus

ATI 9000 Video Card

WD 120 Gig Hd

 

Any suggestions?

SF doesn't get on well with ATI cards (fixed in the 2nd patched we are told).

Make sure that you have mirrors & shadows turned off.

in your setting make sure to disable mirrors and shadows..that will help alot.and yes the ATI cards don't do well with SF..for now.the new patch will fix this.

the patch does fix the ATI issue and boost perf a little on NVidia as well
