What's embarrassing is for someone to make a statement like this. If everyone was having this issue, then yes, I could understand that statement. But as I am running this on an old laptop, see above post for specs, and I am having nothing but fun with it. Not to mention how fast the devs were with the most recent set of patches. You need to check your settings, in sim and graphics, especially when flying near big cities and extremely detailed airports. Tons of videos on YT.
