Considering jumping to X-Plane

Featured Replies

Hello all, after years and years of FSX (a a year of Prepar3d), I'm actually considering jumping to X-Plane. I guess one gets fed up of tweaking an aged product that can't keep up with modern hardware. Anyhow,  can you tell me if this would do the trick with X-Plane - especially letting me know if it just doesn't cut it. Thanks a bunch.

 

 

3rd Gen Intel® Core™ i7-3632QM processor (6MB cache, up to 3.2Ghz)
Windows 8, 64-bit
8GB3 Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz
1TB 5400RPM SATA HDD + 32GB mSATA SSD w/Intel Smart Response
8X Tray Load CD/DVD Burner (Dual Layer DVD+/-RW Drive)
Radeon™ HD 7730M 2GB

your laptop settings will be ok for xp10 with most settings high, try out the demo first :good: the complete 8 dvd package is amazing when you decide to jump in.

Demo demo demo... always try the demo!

 

Rather than relying on outside opinions to find out how it will run, the demo gives you the chance to both see your performance AND get a feel for what X-Plane is all about before you make your purchase.

Mario, this is NOT great advice---do NOT download and try out the DEMO...., for afterwards, you'll have a severe case of plastic-itis.

 

How do I know?  Don't ask.....lol!      Seriously, have fun with it....   My copy is about two days to landing on the doorstep...
