Yo Dudes..
Taking up what Smithcorp mentioned.. I let FSX rebuild the cfg this morning, not only because of SP1 but because I'd changed the graphics card too and the results don't look half bad.
With the remake, FSX has tweaked rather more things up than with the old card (I didn't have AI boats on for a start!!) but it was still a little jerky at the default 20fps. I tried unlimited as had already been suggested.. 40 and finally 30 before settling on 25. OK.. Friday Harbour isn't what I'd consider to be an acid test but there is an improvement there so I expect one everywhere!!

Ricks gorgeous Alan Mann repaint looks a dream and the only sign of protestation I got was close to the water.. close enough to kick up spray. You can see that the very impressive FSX water textures aren't up very high but don't forget.. this is a fresh cfg and the only things I've done is changed the screen res and moved the fps lock up by 5 frames.
Prior to SP1.. I had the frame slider up to 30fps and any degree of autogen tree would halve that immediately. Considering I now have tree's and AI boats.. this aint bad.. not bad at all
System..
Athlon XP3200 (not 64bit variety)
1.28gig DDR333
1x SATA1 160gig
1x SATA2 500gig (pulled back to SATA1) - FSX drive and unpartitioned
Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe (NFORCE2 chipset)
Nvidia 6800GT running 9371 drivers
WinXP SP2
There's hope for us git's with low-end systems yet. All you have to do is fall on the right combination but first things first.. try remaking your cfg then take it from there
