Hi everyone, I need some suggestions. My system : lap top, P4 1.3 GHz,
64mb Intel Video card, 1 gig ram.

What I like are Aircraft that have realistic start up and procedures
or semi-realistic will do. What I have: Feel There ERJ145, Flight1
Meridian, Cessna 172R & Piper 441, Aerowrox B-200.

What I am looking for:
1st choice a turboprop commuter aircraft like (PMDG’s Beech 1900D
$14.95 but at this price I am not sure that it is really what I want.
Its pretty simple according to there web site which means I would
probably be disappointed.) So I looked at the PMDG’s ATR 72-500 Now
this is more like it But there is a problem. There system req. are
slightly above what I have: P4 1.6 GHz, 128mb video card ( that’s
really going to hurt me), 512 Ram ( I have 1 gig, it will help but not
make up for all my shortages.

2nd choice: PMDG’s 737. Looks good again I am short on the video card
and a tiny bit short on processor they want 1.4 GHz. But they say it
will run on minimum FS9 requirements which means it will fly on my lap
top.

I have also looked at Capt Sim 707 but can’t find system requirements
but something tells me I won’t come close. Also looked at Eaglesoft
corporate jets but they seem to require very high end computer. I will
have a very high end computer in a few months, P4 3.8 GHz, 256mb
G-Force Video card, 16 Gig Ram, 2-80 Gig hard drives, with everything
being able to be swapped out when better components come on the market.
But I do not have that now. So what I need is something preferably a
turboprop , that will run minimally now and run better when I get new
computer. Also considering as last resort FSD’s Cheyenne 400LS. Now I
like this aircraft especially the fact that it offers real damage
modeling and has component that keeps track of expense on the aircraft
I really like that, but I was looking for something a little bigger in
the turboprop area, and it can not be downloaded so I am hurting there
cause unless they are willing to ship over night express to my hotel I
am out in the cold cause I am on my way overseas for all of next year.
Of course I am looking for something now not 6 weeks from now and that
is what it will take if I have to have them ship it to me overseas so
it is really out of the question. Ok any suggestions?

Thanks,

Ken

Sounds like you might like the Aeroworx version of Beechcraft Super King Air
200.

http://www.aussim.com.au/reviews/aw_ka200/Aeroworx%20Beechcraft%20Super%20King%20Air%20B200.htm

Performance reportedly decreases as engine hours build. The link above take
you to a good narrative about the product.

I'm guessing you meant Flight1's ATR?

I do have a suggestion, Phoenix Simulation's DeHavilland Dash-8-300 . I
think this might fit your requirements as it was designed to run on FS2002
and was patched to fly in FS9. The requirements call for a 800 MHZ
Processor.

It's very nicely done, the cockpit systems are all modeled and it sports a
programmable FMC. It's a joy to fly... It's sorta not my style, I'm a GA
pilot, but I like it. Best of all it's only 15 euros.
