Default An open apology to Bassy and Dan..

Dan, I was using MS Flight Sim 98 until I got MS Flight Sim X, which is
way cooler! What exactly happens, does the screen seem to step or jump
for lack of better words? My computer is new, and I think it may have
the same graphics card as yours. I'll look into it. But, I'm not having
any problems with Flight Sim X. I'll look this evening and find out
exactly what I have for graphics, etc. and let you know! I successfully
flew with another person via broadband for the first time ever the other
night, now that's fun! Anyway, I'll get back to you about my particular
hardware, hope it will help. Nothing worse than trying to fly a 747 with
the screen jerking around!

Bassy. The frame rates are really slow around the big Metro areas, so
yes its like stepping.
I started with MS 2004 using a Saitek joystick with a 17" monitor. Now
using CH products flight sim yoke, and rudder pedals with a Olevia 28"
monitor, big difference! I've yet been able to land the 747 without
crashing, but have done ok with the others. and most of the missions.
