I play all my games(simulators) great FPS all maximum details however it takes some time for getting the detail graphics every time I change view , for example in CFS 2 I look out the window to the wing and first appears a solid color for a second then the low level detail wing, sometimes I get the full level detail wing (I have settins to full detail).
On outside view it takes like 30 seconds for the graphics to go from low to full detail.

In B17 II , the terrain takes long to draw also.

Is there a way to fix this, does my machine needs more RAM , will that fix it?

Sys
AMD T Bird 1 Gig
256 Ram
Voodoo 5

With 256 MB RAM, I saw the same thing in B-17.

But it hardly ever happens in CFS2, with Voodoo3 or Voodoo5. I would assume it's more a CPU/RAM issue than a vid card issue.

Try reading (print it out) the folder on graphics settings which is on the CFS2 CD. It gives much more info than the readme!
