I have a win98se PC (pentium 3, 866) with 500MB RAM and a low-end
graphics card with 32MB of memory.
Flight Gear runs fairly well, I'm pleased to say, nice and smoothly
most of the time. However, it always crashes on exit and won't run
again until the PC is re-booted.
I tried the new windows exec, fgfs-win32-20051218, but that makes no
difference to the crashes on exit.
Those XP users having difficulties with FG might consider running
win98se in a dual-boot system. IMO it's more suitable for games than
XP OS. (CDs for the win98 OS are very cheap 2nd hand.)
I am running Win XP Home with FG version 0.7.5 (!), 0.9.9 and CVS
(newest version under Cygwin) without any problems.
First with Service Pack 1, now Service Pack 2.
Also running fine (for test-purposes) on the 2 PCs of my kids.
After my opinion it is more a question of hardware (graphic card/video
ram, etc) than of the Windows version.
The scope here is from
AMD Athlon 2200, 512 MB RAM, NVidia 64 RAM
AMD Athlon 2500 (Barton), 512 MB RAM, NVidia 128 MB RAM
AMD Athlon 64 3700, 1024 MB RAM, NVidia 256 MB RAM
Win XP Home
No problems with FlightGear so far.
Win 98SE might be a good choice for PCs with lower spec, but I think the
videocard RAM size is most important (and NVidia).
ONE QUESTION: how does one temporarily remove the windows interface in
full-screen mode -- I mean the control bar across the top ....<File>
<etc>.....?
Toggle with [F10] function key.
