RealFLight On A Laptop

[rkkennard]

Has anyone had any luck running RealFlight on an older laptop ?

I keep getting a graphics card error. Is there anyway to reduce the graphics setting without starting the program ?

I have FMS and it runs fine.

Download the demo and see what happens.
If it runs fine, you're good, if not, you may have trouble.
Got to Realflight's website and download it. :)

I have V4 now and it fails to start on my laptop, I think because the graphics memory is not enough. Hoping that the settings could be changed somehow.

Most laptops have pretty poor graphic cards -- fast graphics require too much energy. My old Toshiba can barely run FMS but it is faster and higher resolution on my 1997 Win98 PC.
