Q: Are the DVDs necessary if I already have X Plane 11 installed through a separate purchase?Ī: If you already have X-Plane, you should get the Logitech G Saitek Pro Flight Yoke, Throttle, and Rudders Bundle instead. Q: How much memory does the PC or Mac need?Ī: You can find the requirements for X-Plane 11 Global Flight Simulator Software here. Q: Where do i purchase the DVD's for the sim.? Q: Can I log instrument approaches with this?Ī: No, this is not FAA certified for logging time. With that in mind, we have developers using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS new newer successfully. While X-Plane 12 will run on Linux, support is not provided for specific distributions if you want to run on Linux, you will need to try X-Plane on your distribution to see if it is compatible.

#X PLANE 12 ON MAC DRIVER#

NVIDIA: Nvidia 900 series Desktop GPU or newer, or GeForce 965M, 970M, 980M and 980MX or newer (Second generation Maxwell or newer) driver version 510 or newerĪMD: AMD Radeon RX 500 or newer, driver version Adrenaline 22.2.1or newer Video Card: a DirectX 12-capable video card from NVIDIA or AMD with at least 4-8 GB VRAM (GeForce GTX 2070 or better, or similar from AMD) However, for the best experience, we highly recommend at least the following:ĬPU: Intel Core i5 8600k or Ryor better, or Apple Silicon

The full version of the simulator will perform exactly the same as the demo-neither better nor worse. If your system is borderline, we encourage you to try the demo first.

Note: Intel GPUs are not supported by X-Plane 12. Video Card: a Vulkan 1.3-capable video card from NVIDIA or AMD with at least 2 GB VRAM (Those with other CPUs should try the demo before purchasing.) In addition, Parallels advertises it can emulate/run Windows, but fails to mention clearly it's the ARM version of Windows that can barely run anything, including SQL database Server which I need for work.Q: What are the computer requirements for X-Plane 12 with the rudder pedals, yoke and throttles?Ī: X-Plane 12 System Requirements: X-Plane 12 requires a high end machine.ĬPU: Intel Core i3, i5, i7, or i9 CPU with 4 or more cores, or AMD Ryzen 3, 5, 7 or 9.

However, what I failed to realise is how few games actually are compiled for the ARM64 platform (ignoring the iPad/iPhone games). I guess because it's such a massive improvement for me over my Windows 2080 laptop and my previous Macbook that I can forgive some issues for now, but I certainly did notice some issues such as flickering clouds and things like powerlines flickering like crazy. I was able to do this on my last mac, but the experience wasn't prettyĪs for performance. Yeah, there are a few utilities floating around that switches the screen to its native resolution (not using Retina scaling), once you set that, you'll need glasses to read your screen but you can then run X-Plane at native resolution. So even when I am above 30FPS, frame times are all over the place and it's a shoddy experience fluidity wise.

My main pain points are a) I can't set resolution to 2560x1440 (that would be half of my 5K display), simply nothing happens when I set that resolution, the dropdown seems to be defunct, and b) there is no way on a Mac to lock to 30 FPS.
