the only 2 games that give me performance issues are this and arma2, both which i read are more cpu hungry than gpu which is why i upgraded my cpu.

if i upgrade my gpu im also gonna have to get a new psu as it only pumps out 500 watts.

Yeah u need a vid card for this sim. I would wait until the 2-3GB cards come down in price

Also, you could try back when the 50% improvement in performance comes with near future patches

Or if you simply must fly now, I'm sure you could squeeze some playable performance bc of your cpu by tweaking your setup. If you have low expectations, you could prob get some cool channel flying in
