Anyone tried this yet?

Is it heavy on frames rates. The minimum specs look pretty high

Thanks Dallas, useful info there. My 3-4 yr old machine looks like it will
struggle.

A couple of people I know have high end PC's and Eaglesoft aircraft seem to
eat frames even on their systems.

I asked a few weeks ago in this NG, why some writers manage to get their
aircraft 'frame friendly', while other are 'frame 'eaters'. I'm a big fan of
Dreamfleet - as their a/c seem to un smoothly even on my old machine.

I suppose it's time to upgrade my system!
