running all my flight sims

Post by op2 »

:lol: :cheers: :guinn: hi chaps, ive been pondering for some time about running all of my flight sims on the same pc. ive been recently running fs9 and fsx deluxe,without any mishaps. until i loaded fs2002pro on and so into a flight it crashes my pc.so i also tried the same test with fs2000,it also crashes my pc. so after countles hours and hair loss,distraction from my day time job by using 10% of my grey matter thinking of this. i came across a sollution, in the options in fs2000 and 2002pro under display,hardware, graphics card. my graphics card is listed twice,dont know why. i normally use the one listed at top,so instead i picked the second in the list and all flight sims worked fantastic. ati radeon saphire hd 3450 256mb pcie card. i think 99% of discoveries in life are just tickering. thought ide share this little gem with you gents. i will celebrate with a glass of brandy and a cigar in my easy chair with radio 3 on

Why anyone would want to install FS2000 or 2002 is beyond me mate, but fair play for giving it a go. 4 versions of the sim on the same PC must be a record. :lol:
