Nor is that necessary to enjoy this aircraft. I'm running FSX-SE on a mid-level machine (i5-2500K at 4.4, 980GTX) and am able to enjoy a smooth experience with autogen at sparse, scenery complexity at mid-point, and light settings for commercial AI. This is with ORBX Global and Vector, AS16/ASCA, and payware airports. I found Matt Davies' settings video for this aircraft quite useful but dialed back some of his recommended settings.
