Specifications
While cutting edge add-on aircraft such as
this will "run" on a system with the minimum
specifications outlined by Microsoft for Flight Simulator 2004, the following are minimum guidelines to achieve acceptable
performance:
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 - *Required
for use of this software
Pentium IV or AMD Athlon/Duron microprocessor or
higher with 2 GHz MHz + speed and 512 MB RAM minimum
Windows 2000 minimum. Windows XP recommended
*
Nvidia or ATI Radeon based 3D accelerator video
card with full antialiasing and T&L lighting capability and a
minimum of 128 MB onboard RAM
SoundBlaster Live or equivalent
128-bit DirectX sound device
Up-to-date DirectX video and sound drivers
Obviously, higher end systems with 3.0 GHz+ speed
CPU, 1 GB system RAM and 256 MB or preferably 512 MB video RAM will perform
much better.
*The
aircraft may install and run in Windows 98/ME, providing your
Windows software environment is in good order. But since the Windows 9X
platform was notorious for program installation problems, driver conflicts,
general instability and poor memory management compared to contemporary
operating systems we cannot support problems
resulting from the use of this long obsolete platform. Windows 9X
is generally considered inadequate for today's DirectX
applications and Windows XP is strongly recommended. We cannot
support issues arising from the Windows 9X software environment.
