X-Plane 11 Purchase Questions

Featured Replies

I am considering purchasing X-Plane and would like to try the demo first. How much drive space will the demo consume? Is the demo a fairly accurate measure of performance?  If I decide to buy this product how much drive space will the software consume? Will I be able to transition my sim hardware I.e.  rudder pedals, yoke and flightstick to X-Plane? 

Thanks for your help!

Less than 10GB.

Absolutely. The only two limitations of the demo are limited runtime (per session) and scenery limited to demo area. You can even install addons in the demo (except scenery).

Steam lists 65GB for the complete installation, so you're looking to 80+ GB free at least if you want to install the whole world and add-ons (aircrafts, airports, etc.)

If you want to install ortho-scenery (satellite photos), there are no space limits depending on how much of the world you want to cover.

Yes of course.
