I have been playing 1.6, and i get around 70 fps, which i think is kinda low but w/e it runs perfectly smooth. Then when i play Condition Zero i only get 20 fps max, which is beyond choppy.

I have the macbook pro with the 256 mb X1600 video card, 2.33 GHZ C2D blah blah blah.

Whats the problem?

Not sure what "1.6" is and not familiar with Condition Zero, but try lowering/playing with the shadow quality slightly - it made a big difference in Real-Flight G3. The shadows still look fine. I usually can get up to 100fps at 1680 res, and everything else on high quality. Most [PC users] I show that performance to (especially at high-res) are impressed, as Real-Flight G3 is very GPU intensive.

btw: same MBP C2D, running XP. Just upgraded to 3GB RAM, but haven't run XP and RealFlight yet to see if any difference. But, with all the settings at high, except shadow, I don't think I would.
