FS:X says it will not support my graphics card with original install.
Upgraded to FS:X SP1 and will still not. After attempt to install FS:X SP2
it gives an error saying you must have a graphics card that supports Shader
Model 1.1 or later. Graphics card is as follows:
ATI Radeon 3850 AGP 512MB DDR3 RAM Shader Model 3.0

Now... How do I fix?

Your card came out after FSX was released, probably just misdetecting the
card.

here's a link to 8.4 catalyst drivers (released 4/16/08)
http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/radeonx-xp

Try installing those, see if that helps.

If not respond here with the rest of your system specs including OS, CPU,
RAM, Audio card, mobo model, etc.

You COULD also try Omega Drivers, they are nVidia and ATi Drivers that've
been tweaked a little... Doesn't look like they've been updated recently
though. use at own risk.
