X-Plane 10 is the latest version of a nearly 20 year series of high
realistic simulators. At its core is a virtual wind tunnel that creates
the most realistic flight modeling available on a desktop. As all versions
before it is an incredible flexible and extendable simulator. With
thousands of compatible add-on`s there is no kind of flying craft that is
not simulated and a whole world to explore.
Notes:
This retail version includes the fixed installers. The Community Edition
includes high detailed scenery for NICE (LFMN), Paderborn-Lippstadt (EDLP)
and Faro (LPFR) on last dvd.
Looking for:
* You, if you bought some simulaton addon
* Private location affilsites
X-Plane 10 requires, at the minimum,
a 2 GHz, dual-core CPU,
2 GB of RAM,
a DVD-ROM, and
a DirectX 9.0c-capable video card with 128 MB of on-board, dedicated video RAM (VRAM).
See here for graphics card compatibility.
However, for the best experience, we recommend the following:
a 3 GHz, multi-core CPU (or, even better, multiple processors),
4 GB of RAM,
a DVD-ROM, and
a DirectX 10-capable (DX11 preferred) video card with 1 GB of on-board, dedicated VRAM.
X-Plane will take advantage of as many cores or distinct processors as you can afford.
Having 16 cores split among 4 CPUs is not required by any means, but Version 10 would
be able to use every one. No more than 4 GB of RAM is necessary, but the more VRAM you have,
the better–X-Plane 10 can easily use 1.5 GB of VRAM at the maximum settings.
In order to use the full version of X-Plane, Disc 1 of the installation DVDs must be in
your disc drive when launching the simulator. (This is not the case when using X-Plane for
Professional Use; in that case, the USB key replaces the Disc 1
