Hello My Friends!

I hope all of you are fine, at this difficult World pandemic days.

I saw the published Flight Sim 2020 HW specs, and I became a litle "scared" with the optimal config... That is a huge and expensive machine.

What do you think? What are your actual specs used to virtual flying?

Bes Regards and Stay Safe!!

Luis Leal

I see the optimal configuration as the one for enthusiasts that like to max all settings while using complex add ons. It's most likely the recommended spec should be enough for airline flights. I'm sure the alpha testers will let us know as soon as they are allowed.

If other versions of FS and P3D are any indication, the recommended (middle tier) of specs will likely be fine for the stock scenery and planes; the ideal specs are likely more realistic once all the payware planes/scenery/weather are added. Caveat: I have no inside knowledge, i'm just speculating based on how things have worked previously. For example, P3d stock, with no addons runs at about 100-150 fps for me....with my heavy load of add-ons it runs more in the 35-65 range.

Well, I have to wait for the alpha testers inputs, no doubt about that... My PC config ha 10 years old, even if it has an i7 920, I am afraid that with this 6Gb of RAM I will have to re-think the issue...
