This is not cheap PC.
Try run FlightGear on cheap laptops produced before 2010.
- themodelplumber 6y agoWow, 11 years? That's getting pretty far back. Still, I wonder...my FG settings are low but not terribly low. I would guess it could be done. For example, I'm not using the 2D cockpit. Edit: 2019.1.1/Linux
- app4soft 6y ago> Wow, 11 years? As for me, if desktop software can't properly work under Linux on cheap 10-year-old laptop then this is not good enough or not optimized app at all. > I'm not using the 2D cockpit. Because it will drop FPS under 30 FPS, right?
- themodelplumber 6y agoI would guess you represent the extreme case then. :-) Using the 2D cockpit should result in more FPS, rather than fewer. It's worth a try.
- stonogo 6y agoThe T420 came out in 2011. They're available on ebay for under a hundred dollars.
- anthk 6y agoBack in the day I played FG on a Geforce 2, but things changed a lot. But you can play FG on lowest settings at 1024x768 in a 2008-9 laptop perfectly.
