After much research, I have almost decided toe go with X-Plane 11. the only caveat I have is when I attempted to download the demo, it would never complete the download. After looking at various sources of MSFS, the rating were poor, therefore I decided upon X-Plane 11, using Win 11. I plan to purchase the Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls Yoke with Honeycomb Aeronautical Bravo Throttle Quadrant Bundle and a 34 inch curved Dell monitor. I am using a Alienware R8 PC. My question; do I need more than a single DVD port to run the software? I have read a plethora on flight sims, but still have many questions. Thanks for the info.
