i9300 and Flight simulator 2004

hi guys, my system specs are as the following :

Pentium-m 1.73Ghz
2gb RAM
60G 5400RPM HD
geforce go 6800 (375/780)

I was able to run flight simulator 2004 at 1920x1200, max details, shadows, extremely dense scenery, 3d clouds without any lag.

But here's the problem. Once I added AI traffic ( added planes from Delta/Continental/AA/TED and so on....) to my airports, the game slows down significantly . Only 3-5 fps when I'm in a busy airport, with about 25 planes parked at the gates. I understand that by adding AI planes it slows down my game because it needs to load more txtures/models. But during loading (in game ), i notice the hard disk whirring, while waiting for the textures on the planes to load .At this time, the planes are just white 3d models without textures on them.It takes about 8 seconds to finish loading all the textures on AI planes. Even if i lower the game resolution to 800x600, set all textures and details to low/ it's still very slow. about 6-8 fps.

With all AI traffic disabled , i usually get about 18-25 fps at 1920x1200. So I thought to myself , it can't possibly be a lack of RAM, neither the video card. It might be the problem with the slow 5400rpm or even the pentium m 1.73 that's holding me back. I notice that my CPU is working at 100% constantly with that game running. Tha'ts why I'm considering an upgrade. I wonder if changing to a 7200rpm and a pentium m 2.26Ghz would help.

And for those of you who don't play flight simulator, I wanna show this wonderful screenshot I took while I was flying around Tokyo Narita airport in a chopper. (added all the traffic by myself). Lovely isn't it ? But I had to pause the game and max out all the details to get this screenshot because If i fly at this resolution and with all these details, i'll be doing it at just 2-3 fps, which suks big time.

i think its the processor thats slowing me down...i want an fx-60 in my laptop

thanks for the reply angry nude. pai does not give that man liveries for commercial jets, espacially if u were to look at the ones in the picture above. what settings are u running FS at ?

here are mine :

1920x1200
terain mesh :50
terrain details : medium
water details : high
custom scenery : extremely dense
autogen : normal
aircraft : maxed out
weather : simple with 50 % 3d clouds
texture filtering : bilinear
antialiasing : on
global texture : max

And how did u manage to get 100++ planes in one airport ? my LAX is 30% full , about 30 aircraft, but i get extremely low frame rates.

I will give that program a try and see if it does help. And one more thing, my GPU's overcclocked t0 (375/780) and it's still slow .

ok thanks fot the help andry nude, but I'm wondering, how do u find the plane liveries from PAI ? They look really really bad. Some of the engines look like hexagons or octagons i'm dead serious. textures are very blur too. I tried lowering my traffic density but now my JFK looks empty. But the good thing is my FPS increases by a significant amount.

Also, what's the difference in between using TTOOLS and ultimate traffic ? As long as I get to download flight plans and compile them myself, it should pretty much be the same am i right ? thnaks z!
