“On my system my framerates stayed pegged at my Vsync-limited 85 FPS at all times in single-screen mode. At 3840×1024, though, framerates are in the high teens while viewing the 3D cockpit. To be fair I had my settings at 16xAF and 16xQ AA, but also to be fair the 3D cockpit looks horrendous without some serious image quality improvement (even then the shimmering and legibility in the displays can be any issue). However, since SSM2007 is a systems simulator and there are no fast twitch reactions required, I found a framerate in the high teens entirely tolerable, even while landing. When I dropped the resolution to 3072×768, framerates jumped into the mid-40s.”

“My system runs SSM2007 without a hiccup. SSM2007 is not graphically intensive at all compared to other simulators out there, and you shouldn’t have a problem running SSM2007 on a 3-4 year old system. I am limited to 1280×1024 because of my older monitor, and only run 4xAA and 2xAF, without vsync. My framerate is always in the 200s with one exception; when I switch to an external view during the ascent phase, where there is a ton of smoke, I have seen the framerate drop down into the 80s.”
