Thread: Flight simulator

I have a Compaq SR5110NX desktop PC and I want to play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 on it. Is this possible, and if so, what changes possibly required? Thanks in advanced.

Yes it will run the game. But to run the game well. I would suggest at least an upgrade of RAM to at least 1 GB and possibly a new video card too. With the video card you might have to get a PSU to run it correctly .when you consider the cost of all of those things you might also buy a new PC.

If your external hard disk is USB 2 (TWO!), then it's faster then an ATA 133 Mbps hard disk (the standard hard disk on most PCs until about a year ago) and be fine to install FS.
you have however to make sure that the USB is indeed USB 2, because USB 1.1 is simply too slow for anything but off line data storage.
keep in mind that the external hard disk as well as the connectors on your PC have to be USB2, otherwise it will settle for the speed of the slower device)

Ya that's the only thing you need to take care of that the connectors and the usb be must be 2.

Your question about a COMPUTER GAME belongs in the section about "Consumer Electronics", and not in the section dealing with questions about REAL AIRPLANES!
