Will this work with EFB and PFPX?


Recommended Posts

I found this on avsim.  I know the specs are pretty bad, but I only want to use it to run Aivlasoft's EFB, PFPX, & TOPCAT.  Would this computer run those?  I would network it to my current PC that has FSX on it.  The only thing that concerns me is the CPU.

Thanks,

Hello 

if you're going to use your PC for these programs mainly then you're better of purchasing a laptop (its what i use for the exact same programs ). cause its smaller and more powerful than the pc you have in the link . this is my recommendation although it has photos of win8 running on it . it says in the description that it comes with win7 pre-installed ( which is better IMO for these types of programs ) .

Having tried EFB on a laptop with a 1366*768 display I found the display too small for the Approach screen. I switched to a 2nd PC with a 1280*1024 display and it was perfect. I think that's the recommended res for EFB anyway.

 

That PC with its 1600*900 display may just be a bit tight to show EFB at its best.
