    Hello

    I’m just wondering could someone advise me on a computer that could run the simulator comfortably. I’d be hoping to play offline for a while till I get more comfortable with it all. I’d then hope to play online. I have got the logistick waiter pro g flight yoke and rudder pedals. I have monitor and rest of hardware. How much would I be looking at paying ? I do not really understand all the computer lingo

    Liam

    Hurl_Lad, it really depends on what sim you are look at, and the specs of your current hardware.

    There's really no upper limit on flight sims. I'd pick a budget and get the lads over at building and upgrading to spec you a machine. If you need help building many of us are willing to help.

    I'm not sure what game I will be playing yet. From the web I can gather Xplane 11 is the best and newest. It seems do youd want a monster of a computer to run it.

    What sort of price range would I be looking at for the pc ?

    Thanks

    Their recommended specs are a 6600k and a 1070, so maybe €1200-1400 new, the minimum specs are way lower though, so at 1080p and if you were willing to buy second hand parts you could definitely do it for under €1k ID say
