On a lesser AMD box with a Nvidia 6600 card I would expect ten times that
(and
more) for fps.
I know nothing about ATI cards - but it sounds rather like you're using
software rendering. In other words, your graphics card is not actually
doing
the hard work it specialises in at all, but leaving the CPU to struggle
away
with everything.
Which OS are you running and do you have the latest graphics drivers
installed? Do other OpenGL programs run at full speed?
Cheers,
AJ

I use Windows XP with SP2. I just downloaded the Omega drivers based on the
Catalyst 5.12 drivers, but I'll have to install them later. I run MSFS 2004,
not sure if it is OpenGL or not, but it too runs a little slower than what
should be expected. Perhaps when I install the drivers I'll expirement with
the card settings.
