Chapter 3 Preparation and Installation 3.1 System Requirements Given X-Plane’s incredible capabilities and accuracy, it is not possible to run a current release of X-Plane on an exceptionally old computer. A good rule of thumb is that any machine built in the last 18 to 24 months will probably be able to run the simulator acceptably. Computers up to about 36 months old may be fine if they were top-of-the-line machines when manufactured. Even if they weren’t, X-Plane may still be able to run, albeit with its rendering options turned down. X-Plane 10 requires a computer with at least the following specifications: • A 2 GHz, dual-core processor, • 2 GB of RAM (physical memory), • a DirectX 9-capable video card with 128 MB of on-board, dedicated video RAM (VRAM), • 10 GB of hard drive space, and • a DVD-ROM drive. However, for the best experience, we recommend the following: • a 3 GHz, multi-core CPU (or, even better, multiple processors), • 4 GB of system RAM (physical memory), and • a DirectX 10-capable (DirectX 11 preferred) video card with 1 GB of on-board, dedicated VRAM, and • 10 GB of hard drive space, and • a DVD-ROM drive. To find your computer’s CPU speed and amount of RAM, Mac users can simply open the Apple Menu and click “About This Mac.” For Windows Vista and Windows 7 users, you can open the Start menu and type System to search for the Control Panel’s “System” item. Opening this will display the processor, its speed, and the amount of RAM installed. Windows XP users can get the same information by: 1. Opening the Start menu, 2. Selecting the Control Panel, 3. Clicking Performance and Maintenance, and 4. Clicking System. 17
