I have a VGA, and I've seen *tremendous* differences between having "Monitor Ports" set for "Text" and "High Graphics." I haven't tried Flight Simulator, but other graphics games (SimCity, Krynn, etc.) are all unplayably slow when MP is set for HG. Set it for "Text," and there's only about a 10% performance hit.
