Thanks guys for the help/advice. I really appreciate it! I just tried the XP10 demo and it worked great on system 2. Smooth and no pauses or stuttering. Unfortunately they don't give enough time to really test out the features, but it was enough for me to purchase the global edition today. I know that XP10 may be out of date, but it seems to work on system 2 OK. Maybe I will try to get the demo to run on system 1(?). Scott

I checked the swap file on system 2 and it is 2Gb. Perhaps I should increase it to 4? Scott

Thank you. Will post this question there... Scott

I have been using FSX on Windows 7 and 10 since it was released in 2006(?). It was a great sim for what I used it for. Flying a Continental 757 out of KEWR. I had the game "tweaked" the way I wanted. Everything was great and enjoyable. However, I dumped Windows 7/10 and switched to using Linux Mint last month (and loving it!). I currently have 2 systems running Linux Mint 22.3. Here are the system specs... System 1 (2013). Motherboard: ASUS M4A87T AM3 AMD 870 CPU: AMD AthlonII X3 Triple-Core 3.3GHz PSU: Enermax 500W Memory: Kingston 8GB (2x 4GB) Value Ram DDR3 1333MHz Video Card: ASUS ENGT430/DI/1GD3(LP) 1GB DDR3 1600MHz System 2 (2020). Motherboard: ASUS Prime H310M-E R2.0 Intel H310 Chipset, LGA 1151, HDMI CPU: INTEL CORE i3-8350K 4-Core 4.0 GHz, LGA 1151, 91W TPD PSU: EVGA 600 BQ, 80 PLUS Bronze 600W, Semi Modular, ATX Memory: KINGSTON 16GB DDR4 2400Mhz, CL17 DIMM Video Card: EVGA GeForce GT 1030, 1189 - 1430MHz, 2GB SDDR4 I am think of downloading and trying X-Plane 10. Are these systems OK for running it? (I might have to turn the game settings down to low..) Thanks for your help. I will have more questions after I try to install it. Scott P.S. I tried to run the "demo" versions of XP 11 and 12. They installed but when I tried to run them, they just froze the computer and I had to re-boot. This is why I want to see if 10 will run on my system specs.
