Flight Simulator 2018 Requirements

FSTD Information Bulletins are an information tool that alerts and educates the aviation community by providing information regarding compliance with Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 60 pertaining to the Evaluation and Qualification of Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTD). Analysing the market and making predictions for revenue is a very tricky art, but the research firm JPR (Jon Peddie Research) estimates that the recent release of Microsoft Flight Simulator will.

Minimum Hardware Requirements:

Contents

• A flight simulator is a device that artificially re-creates aircraft flight and the environment in which it flies, for pilot training, design, or other purposes. It includes replicating the equations that govern how aircraft fly, how they react to applications of flight controls, the effects of other aircraft systems, and how the aircraft reacts to external factors such as air density.
• Certified Flight Simulator Trainers. Charts and Maps. Holiday Gift Guide. Sectional Charts. Terminal Procedures Publications (Approach Plates) Chart Organization. Canadian Charts. Chart Accessories. VFR Terminal Area Charts. Airport-Facility Directory (Chart Supplement).

• CPU: Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 CPU with 2 or more cores, or AMD equivalent. (Dual-core CPUs slower than 3 GHz should try the demo before purchasing.)
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Video Card: a DirectX 11-capable video card from NVIDIA, AMD or Intel with at least 1 GB VRAM

If your system is borderline, we encourage you to try the demo first. The full version of the simulator will perform exactly the same as the demo—neither better nor worse.

Recommended Hardware Requirements:

• CPU: Intel Core i5 6600K at 3.5 ghz or faster
• Memory: 16-24 GB RAM or more
• Video Card: a DirectX 12-capable video card from NVIDIA, AMD or Intel with at least 4 GB VRAM (GeForce GTX 1070 or better or similar from AMD)

Supported Video Cards:

• NVIDIA: NVIDIA GeForce 600 or newer
• AMD: AMD HD7000 with GCN core or newer
• Intel: HD4000 or newer

Supported Operating Systems:

• OS X: OS X 10.11 or newer (e.g. El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina)
• Windows: Windows 8 or 10, 64-bit
• Linux: Varies
  • While X-Plane 11 will run on Linux, we don't provide support for specific distributions; if you want to run on Linux, you will need to try X-Plane on your distribution to see if it is compatible. With that in mind, we have developers using Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 LTS successfully.
  • For Linux, we require the proprietary driver from AMD or NVIDIA to run X-Plane. You may be able to get X-Plane to run on the Mesa/Gallium driver with an Intel GPU, but this is unsupported. We absolutely do not support the fully open source drivers for AMD and NVIDIA.
