Hi, is this computer good for X-plane 10?

Melissa,Based on the system requirements currently listed for X-Plane 10, while most of the system requirements are met or exceeded, the video requirements are not. You may want to look at the CybertronPC Borg-Q, which meets or exceeds all of the system requirements. The Borg-Q can be found: CybertronPC Borg-Q (Blue) TGM4213A Gaming PC (3.8 GHz AMD FX-4130 Quad Core, 1GB GeForce GT610, 8GB DDR3 1600MHz, 1TB HDD, Windows 8.1 64-bit)

Sincerely I don't use that kind of programs but I don't see any reason why I shouldn't! With the included Graphics adapter and processor speed it will work fine

The minimum operating system requirements I will state right off the hard copy package I have: "Microsoft Flight Simulator X (SP2) (which is FSX Special Performance 2), Intel Dual Core or similar, Video Card Direct X 9 with 512 MB, with minimum operating system XP/Vista/7, 3 GB free hard disc space, and 2 GB RAM. SHort Answer for FS 2004: No.

Absolutely. You would want to use an i5 or i7 in it. And at least 8 gig RAM. The on-board video may or may not please you for gaming, so you may have to add a decent quality Video card. This board is an excellent platform for most anything someone wants to use it for. It will depend on what CPU and RAM you put in it.

It'll run Minecraft at MAXIMUM settings without lag. I'm not sure about other games, but I use X-Plane 10, a flight sim, and I get pretty good FPS when using it.

If you have dedicated graphic card yes, if not then no. It can play basic non-intensive 3D games like TF2 or KSP.

Yes...i will be using it for 3d....the quadcore, speed, and ram will be strong. And is easy to upgrade ram to 32 gigs, thats what i will do . Should get my replacement tommorow and begin loading software and test it out.

It depends what type of gaming. I had to install an aftermarket graphics card to get it to play Microsoft Flight Simulator at a decent frame rate, so I'd say no (out of the box).

No you must download drivers from xsaitekpanels thru x-plane.org/utilities/plugins

If you are not going to use a super performance graphic card then yes. that would be good enough.

Everything I've read shows FSX works well through Windows 7. I have tried to make it work in Windows 8/8.1 with no luck. Runs well for about 10 minutes then crashes, youtube had some fixes but none have worked for me. Right now FSX is a door stop for newer systems it is not supported any more, so I went to X-Plane 10 North American region, it works well and is supported with continual updates. Good luck and best of luck!!!!! Oh by the way FSX is 32 bit and will only use 3 meg of memory no matter how much you have in your machine, X-Plane is 64 bit and will use all the memory you have and will use the GPU graphics chip more when you tax the simulator with detail.

I am not sure of the x2 specs but if the x2 has support then that would be the way to go.

I will admit I have used neither X-Plane or MS Flight Simulator; howeverm, every mac user I have discussed flight simulators basically says X-Plane leaves every other flight sim in the dust.

Well I run Microsoft flight simulators on this at high settings...no lag or anything. So use that as a guide. Its also rated well for the high graphics games like cod and bf.

Yes...but you must download the XSaitekpanels plug-ins in order to make Saitek products work with X-Plane.

I just downloaded the demo and cranked up all of the settings (@2560x1600) with my GTX 780... I was getting about 200 FPS in the flight sim part.In other words, this card is about 3x more powerful than you really need--anything over 60 frames per second is wasted on most monitors. You could spend only $150-200 and get something that's more than enough for flight sims. The GTX 760 is reasonably priced, as are the older versions of the Radeon cards (ex. 7950 Boost).

I've got the DX6i, it works fine with this plane. The receiver on the plane is DSM2/DSMX.
