Topic: system minimums question

Hi

Has anyone actually tried to run this aircraft on an older Imac?  Any experience would be welcome before i buy it!
I have an airbus type rating in two months, and need a practice sim.  cheers.

24 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX 1 GB

Re: system minimums question

yes maybe too low that is why i was asking if anyone HAS TRIED it.  Rather than speculate.

id accept a slower frame rate if still usable. Or turn scenery down to minimum levels when using the plane.

cheers

It was a polite form to answer (Not speculating).
If you have a JAR Aircraft you can see recommanded configuration ... so 1Gb is too low .
Bear in mind that if you want to use X-Plane 11  with custom airports you will need more resources and the very limiting part of computer is graphic card memory.

Miracle does not exist ...sorry
