I have a laptop that does not have a Graphics chipset that will support OpenGL 2.0. It only supports Open GL 1.4. I have been told the physics in AFPD out do any other sim on the market. So I REALLY want to buy it. I am not interested in scenery, exploding planes or water. I do want real physics.

Can I use AFPD and will it run in some sort of cut back mode? For example, the planes still fly realistically but maybe I give up 3d scenery or shadows?

Any suggestions on what to buy if I cannot do AFPD? I really do not want the expense of a new pc as this one is only one year old.

Details of my graphics board inside my laptop..........
