Frame rates (FPS) with FMS
 

I have an AMD-2 750 Mhz computer w/256 mb RAM and a "basic" 2-4 mg video card. The FPS is 2-3 and the aircraft is slow. When turning, you have to stop the roll with substantial aileron and then it rolls the other way.

Do I need a better graphics card? If so, what should I buy?

FMS seems to be working OK except for the above.

What's "AMD-2"? Athlon?
Then, it should have an AGP slot. Buy any GeForce or Radeon-based card (check out www.newegg.com -- I've bought some nice cards from them quite cheap) and FPS will increase dramatically.
If your motherboard doesn't have an AGP slot, buy a PCI version of the above cards.

Yep....

Sounds like you need to be investing in a much new video card. With prices as low as they are now-a-days, you pop a 32MB or 64MB card for around the same price as a gallon of fuel or two. It is definately worth the investment.

Thanks guys! I just ordered a GeForce 4 MX 440 64mb card for $65.00 from www.pricewatch.com

my PC is really old (5yrs) with AMD K5 133Mhz, onboard graphics & I get 10FPS. Am I just lucky ? FMS instructions says need 200Mhz minimum, seems not !!
