Which flight simulator do you recommend for weaker pc's / laptops?

What does little performance mean?

Xplane needs so much, flightgear too.

It actually always depends on the model you are flying with, the settings and the scenery.

You just can't play a flight simulator with a toaster.

The best flight simulator on the market is by far the Microsoft Flight Simulator. The minimum requirements are not that high at all.

On an AMD computer there's a Ryzen 2 1200 chip, 8 GB of RAM and a Radeon RX graphics card with 2 GB of VRAM. Or at least an Intel Core i5-4460, 8 GB RAM and an Nvidia GTX 770 with 2 GB VRAM are required. In addition, a minimum of 5 Mbps bandwidth is required for the game.

Does your PC do this?

It won't be a good experience without a dedicated graphics card and with such a weak processor.

5 fps or something? Suppose it starts at all.

Flight simulation takes a lot of power.

If you have fun with it you can download flightgear, it's free. On my laptop on 2015 or so it ran halfway.

I think so, but I can't get it because my father says that my laptop is getting too weak and he knows his way around PC and flight simulators

What if you get a free Microsoft Game Pass trial? Then you can try out the game and see how it goes for you and show it to your father too.

If the game plays flawlessly, you can safely get it afterwards.

By far I wouldn't say.

Many features, such as replay, are missing, and there are also add-ons compared to xplane, etc. Few.

Currently, many continue to play xplane because there are simply no accurate models from large airlines for MSFS to buy.

There are many good reasons to choose other flight simulators.

I do maybe but can you suggest another flight simulator?

ki

In any case, X-Plane or FlightGear, as already suggested by jort93.

da

Really free

Pr

Yes

https://sourceforge.net/...ear/files/

I would try 2020.1 or 2030.3.

Flightgear isn't quite as stable as xplane or something, sometimes it just crashes. Maybe one version works and another doesn't.

But, in terms of the simulation, it's actually quite okay. The community also makes planes, some of which are good.

Is still being actively developed, but there was still no release in 2021.

Thank you is downloading

Pr

So, flightgear even has features that MSFS doesn't, like landing / taking off on aircraft carriers, properly with steam catapults and safety ropes.

So I can highly recommend this to you.

Cool. Are there airports from Germany?

Pr

Yes, you can take off from any commercial airport around the world. Flightgear has all airports. It's actually like that in every simulator.

But not all airports have elaborate 3D models and so on.

I think the FSX
