I need help running Flight Simulator 2020

Hello. I am a newbe to flight Simulator, and my issue isit is running so bad that its almost unplayable. my pc specs are:

cPU: ryzen 3 2200g

ram: 16gb (2x8) ddR4 3000

HARD DRIVE: 500GB NVME SSD

Gpu: RADEON rx 580, 8GB

oS: Windows 10 home

 

i don't have other apps running in the background.

 

Even in 'loW" game settings, the game freezes every few seconds. I read somewhere that Sedona airport is low demanding, and even in there, same happens.

 

Anything i can do to improve this game, or just my hardware is too lacking to even play the game in LOW settings?

 

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum(s). I think your hardware "should" be OK at those settings. A couple of thoughts...do you have any anti-virus or anti-malware programs running? If so try it with them disabled. Also, be sure nothing is creating a periodic "dump" or imaging of part of the system. How long do the freezes last when they occur. Is it really a freeze or just a long stutter? Is everything running smoothly between the freezes? What is the framerate your seeing? This info would really help the folks here with trying to diagnose your problem.....Doug

I have the same specs except for the hard drive. I have a non SSD 1 TB drive, other than that I have the same processor, video card and 16gb mem. I was afraid I would have problems but so far I have had no issues. I will add that I am using the default scenery. I am not downloading the extra online scenery. I let the sim install and I agreed to the default settings and it chose high settings. You do not indicate if you are using the online scenery or not. I'm wondering if that is a factor in the freezes.

Good point. I didn't think of that. It could be the internet connection/speed/modem/etc. Scenery loading could, indeed, be the cause of pauses/freezes if the the connection is too slow or faulty.....Doug
