I have Windows XP SP2, and have recently bought Microsoft Flight Simulator X Deluxe (about 3 weeks ago). I want to play FSX on my PC without any problems.
However, FSX runs really slow, the picture keeps juddering, and the sound (ATC Voice etc.) starts and stops when it wants to. Overall, the game is just not worth playing, as it is that bad. I have turned all the settings (on FSX) to low resolution, and still, I have a juddering picture and very poor graphics.
I have over 42gb of space on my PC, so memory isn't a problem. I have checked the back of the FSX box, and my PC is fine with the system requirements (processor: 3.0 Ghz etc.)
Is there any settings I can change to help FSX run better? I know I could buy Vista, but I don't really want to get it for another 2 years. What can I do/change/add to my computer to make FSX the game it really should be?
Desperate help needed! Thanks!

Thanks so far. Another question:
How can I find out which graphics driver my PC has?

Go into the settings of the game and set them to run to the lower settings.
The game will run alot better.
Try that.....
If the game still wont play well then you probably need more RAM or a better video card.
You can also go to this website just select the game and it will automatically tell you if your PC will run the game correctly.(of it meets the requirements.)
Very handy website.....go here.....

FSX is one of the most hardware intensive games available. Even with a thousand plus dollars of upgrades you will not be able to run it at medium/high settings without a good frame rate. You will need a new graphics card first. Purchase an 8800GTS (640mb) if you have a PCI-E slot in your computer. If you have an AGP slot, purchase a 7800GS. Both will offer improved performance. Also, if you should upgrade to at least 1GB of RAM.

You consistent with probability able to get the linux homestead windows emulator to run it yet... it could be like working 3 vista's at as quickly as and the only flight simulating could be a Valuejet airplane someplace over the florida everglades.

you probably need a better graphics card or more ram. I would probably upgrade my ram and get a new graphics card.
