 Requirements

 

 

 

Due to the detailed 3D-graphics and the time consuming physics simulation it is highly recommended that your computer system matches the following minimum computer specifications to achieve a smooth simulation speed. For best performance and if you want to use 4D-sceneries your system should match the Recommended system requirements

 

 

System requirements for Microsoft Windows PCs

 

 

 

Minimum

  - Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon64 compatible CPU with 2,4 GHz
  - 1 GB of RAM
  - 8 GB free hard disc memory
  - DVD-ROM drive
  - OpenGL Version 2.1 compatible 3D-graphics card from NVIDIA
    or ATI with 256MB (at least as fast as NVIDIA 7600GT or ATI HD
    3650)
  - Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7
  - A free USB port to connect the USB Interface / GameCommander
  - If you want to use your own transmitter, please read here

 

Recommended

  - Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon 64 X2
  - OpenGL Version 3.1 compatible 3D-graphics card from NVDIA
    or ATI with 512 MB.  At least as fast as NVIDIA GeForce 8800 or
    ATI Radeon HD4850
  - For optimum sound quality we recommend a high quality
    stand-alone PCI soundcard, e.g. Creative Audigy

 

Please note: 4D sceneries only run on the recommended system platform.

 

 

 

 

 

System requirements for Apple Mac computers

 

 

 

apple-mac-logo

Minimum

  - Intel based Apple Mac computer with Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6
  - 1 GB RAM
  - 10 GB free hard disc space
  - OpenGL Version 2.1 compatible 3D-graphics card from NVDIA or
    ATI with 256 MB ( As fast as NVIDIA 9400 or ATI Radeon HD 2400 ).
  - A free USB port to connect the USB Interface / GameCommander
  - If you want to use your own transmitter, please read here

 

Recommended

  - 2 GB RAM
  - OpenGL Version 2.1 compatible 3D-graphics card from NVDIA
    or ATI with 512 MB.  At least as fast as NVIDIA 9600 or ATI
    Radeon HD 4850.
 

Please note: 4D sceneries only run on the recommended system platform.

 

 

 

 

 

Supported 3D graphic cards

 

 

 

Here we will give an overview of supported 3D graphic cards for AeroFly 5. Please note that the 3D graphic card is the most important part to achieve a smooth simulation. Therefore carefully review this text and check if your card matches the requirements.

Please note: All 3D graphic cards NOT listed here and older than these cards a likely not compatible and are not recommended for AeroFly 5. If in doubt, please contact us.

 

Compatible 3D graphic cards:

  - NVIDIA GeForce 7000 series: 7600GT, 7800, 7900, 7950
  - NVIDIA GeForce 8000 and 9000 series: 8600, 8800, 9600, 9800
  - NVIDIA GeForce 200er series: GTS 240, GTS 250, 260, 275, 280, 285, 295
  - NVIDIA GeForce M-series for Notebooks: 8800M, 9700M, 9800M, 160M and 250M
    (ensure you install the special NVIDIA notebook driver version 195.62 or newer!)
  - ATI Radeon HD 3000/4000/5000 series: 3650, 3690, 3830, 3850, 3870, 4650, 4670, 4730, 4750, 4770, 48x0, 5770, 58x0

 

The performance difference of the above cards is huge. To run the new 4D-sceneries or to run AeroFly 5 in a high resolution, we strongly recommend to install a high end 3D graphic card, like a NVIDIA GeForce 9800 with 1GB or an ATI HD Radeon 4870 with 1GB. If you are happy with only photo sceneries you can pick a slower graphics card.

 

Recommendation: Our current recommendation for good performance at a reasonable price we can recommend the ATI Radeon HD 4890 card with 1GB of RAM. This card can display all 4D-sceneries at high quality settings even at high resolutions of 1920x1200.
