Welcome to Great Planes G3! Thats why they had to put them photo fields in with the program, because unless you have a new alienware computer, the G3 is going to run like garbage if you try to use any of the features, unless you turn every single setting down to the minimum, and then you might as well just have found an old used G2 somewhere! Sorry to hear about your trouble with it, but it is a common problem for many that isn't running a High End computer system.
