Hi Cody,
I think FMS and RCFS2001 are in the same category. I never said either of them was great
If you already fly RC planes, you will notice that in both sims the planes fly strangely at low speeds. But what upsets me the most is the "rattle" stall seen in RCFS2001. I think it's a bug in the software or the physics modeling.
None of these sims do tip stalls. RCFS 2001 does snap rolls though.
Mmm, 10 FPS in that nice system? I bet the problem (if any) is the S3 (legacy?) video card. Maybe it is not a "3D Accelerator" card. Check the manuals. Is that card integrated in a VIA mobo or laptop?
