Please direct me to the correct forum if this isn’t the right spot.
I am a pilot irl and looking in to getting XPlane primarily for procedural practice. I used to play FlightSims and had some basic knowledge of computers and requirements, but it’s all greek to me now.
I also travel too much to get much usage out of a desktop PC. I would like to get a laptop that is capable of running XPlane 11, but since I’m not a real gamer, would like to save a little money and go with a “capable†system ... no need for a fire breather.
Can anyone point me to a system that would offer acceptable performance (again, I’m tech ignorant about system specs)? What is a bang-for-the-buck balance (not minimum requirements)? How large a screen is truly necessary when really just intent to focus on procedural training (and yes, some fun too)?
