Phoenix compatibility

[fiercebadger]

Hello,

I want to order phoenix, but how do I know if my netbook has the capability? I know the specs for the demo are on the website, but I am a numpty and dont know how to find if my netbook has what is needed. It has windows 7 and the latest version of Direct X installed, but I cant even get the demo to work and dont want to pi55 money up the wall if it is not going to work.

Anyone with a computer knowledge able to point me in the right direction please?

Cheers.

I have an NC10 and a lenovo S10....the answer is no....I have tried

Here is a cut and paste from the website as suggested earlier.

Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7 (all editions)
- 1.0 Ghz Pentium 3/4 or AMD Athlon/64 compatible processor
- 256MB system memory (RAM)
- 1.5 GB free, uncompressed hard-disk space*
- ATI Radeon 9800/NVidia Geforce Ti4200 with at least 128MB memory
- Microsoft DirectX 9.0c or higher*
- DVD-ROM Drive for installation
- 1 free USB 1.1/2.0 port
- 100% DirectX 9 compatible sound card (optional

I would say it would run, but not at it's optimum. Have tried downloading the demo and running that?

P.S.

I assume you have a dvd drive?

The general consensus seems to be leaning towards you being out of luck.

[fiercebadger]

Oh well, cheers guys, would realflight be the same deal?

[bolders]

Yes afraid so you just wont have enough CPU or GPU power. Net books are great and have there place (im on one now) but gaming is not one of there uses. Is this the only PC you have.

You would be struggling to play the sim in the tiny screen of it!

Have just tried on my nc10 and found its not possible. It just jumps even with every setting turned to low. If it could handle to the graphics etc i dont think the small screen would be too bad.

Ok, cheers guys.

Dont suppose anyone has a cheap laptop they want to sell by any chance, that I could run phoenix on, or even with phoenix already installed (I know rocking horse sh1t, but you never know). Or even a cheap desktop maybe?

Well skint at the minute, so the cheaper the better.

Cheers.

I may have a laptop you can purchase off me - cheap.
I'll have a look when I get home and see if I can get Phoenix running on it.
