Hey guys!

So I got a new PC and I have never been able to run FS like this before so I am curious as to what are the typical ideal settings for quality is?

My specs:
Intel Pentium D Dual Core 3.4ghz
3 GB DDR2 667mhz RAM
SoundBlaster sound card
nVidia geForce 9800GT PCI EXPRESS x16

I can get 23fps almost all the time with everything maxed, but I have seen others that have some really good looking FS9's out there and mine doesn't quite look like that.

Thanks!

There are quite a few articles about FS9 tweaks. I believe a few of them are saved in the WEB resources section. What might work for one PC may not for another. You will have to fiddle with your setup to find the best.
