Just a couple of things Innis;
0.9.8a started fine and worked within a few minor limitations (long flights
over land in fast a/c seemed to make the autopilot lose a grip at about 2
hours).
This is not a totally new problem Durk Talsma found a year or so ago that
the sim would crash after a couple of hours on longhaul flights but he was
testing between Amsterdam and the states and I thought that the problem
was fixed, Durk?.
It seems that most of the problems come back to the graphics card and anyone
not using a Nvidia card of around GF4 -400 series or better.See the problems
the
guys using high end ATI cards are having.While not wishing to be a walking
advert
for Nvidia a casual look through the FG archives would say if you use
anything else
in FG you may get trouble
and
The PC is running Me.
It may not be helping but I also notice some people using XP have
problems from time to time
As this is my partners PC and she gets would have a fit if I started
changing this like OS or hardware.
Get her hooked on some graphics intensive game and then casually
mention that a better graphics card would help.:-)
I am searching for a reasonably priced approx 1Ghz, p3 machine I can play
with for this (OS and hardware)
Anywhere from 850 Mhz on as I dont see any great fps change between
my 850 box and my 2 Gig box both running the same power graphics
card.As I found yesterday to my supprise 9.9 will even run on a 400 Mhz
machine just takes awhile to do things
I have noted some comments about a "compatibility table" or
"minimum/recommended platform" being available. This would really be handy
for people looking to get a dedicated box for FG.
If you got a machine that didn't have a Nvidia card in it you could hardly
come back here and complain you weren't warned.
Cheers
Innis
