Great Job, very Informative. I'm a real world pilot and use x plane 11 to stay sharp when not flying. One thing I would like to see for X plane 12 is ground crew for GA Aircraft/FBO'S. There are a bunch of corporate pilots out there and would bring a more realism to the practice. Thanks again for a great video
That would be a great feature! That was something I wish I could have found years ago when I was instructing. Having the ability to create familiarity with an unknown airport would have been or would be great.
I just tested X-Plane 12 yesterday with a RYZEN 7 3700X 1080Ti and 16GB of ram runs flawlessly
That is good news!!!
You're providing very accurate information. Currently, if someone starting out wants a "good" Flight Simulator experience, he or she will need to set aside a minimum $2500 for a capable PC. It is simply an investment that one has to make. Maybe graphics cards will come down in the near future; and maybe not? Over the past 15 years I've built 5 desktops strictly for the purpose of FS; however, it is not getting cheaper.
I agree with you about the investment statement and the fact that both pc components and flight sim peripherals are all getting more expensive. I only hope that with the new generation of pc parts we see low end parts that can run "FS' at medium settings or better at 1080p at 60 fps. I think it can happen and hope to see it in Q3/Q4 this year.
Just go with older sims like fsx steam
@@MatrixMaverick1980 When I built my robust rig 3 years ago, it was for the purpose of FSX. However, after simply adding 16GB of RAM and downloading MSFS 2020; I could never go back. The difference is just too extreme.
I have an MSI GF65 Thin 10UE with an Intel I5 10500H processor up to 4.5Ghz turbo boost. RTX 3060 Graphics card with 6 GB of Vram, 500 GB SSD, and 8 GB of Ram. I plan on upgrading the ram to 64 GB at 3200 Mhz(which is it's max) and a 2TB SSD high performance hard drive for a total of 2.5TB of SSD hard drive space. I think that Xplane 12 and Flight Simulator 2020 will run pretty good on this setup. Price of my laptop was $698 after tax and the cost of upgrades will be anywhere from $300 to $400. I think a pretty good setup gaming laptop coming out at a total of $1100 to $1200 is not too shabby, especially for someone who is on a budget. Great video buddy! keep up the great content!
Thank you!
That sounds like a nice laptop setup! I am intrigued to hear what your FPS are.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION Thank you! It actually is pretty nice. Using Windows 11 itself is pretty fast and hassle free. I don't know the actual fps, but right now without the upgrades I can play DCS World on medium settings and still have pretty smooth game play with no stuttering. I think the biggest issue is the ram at only 8GB. I will be getting the upgrades ordered around the 9th of December and get them installed as soon as they arrive
I have x plane 11 and 12. great performance on 11. On 12 is more challenging on my pc, but the performance is acceptable.
I found the same for me as well. The fps have improved in X-Plane 12 with the recent update.
I am running both x11 and 12 on a iMac 24 M1 chip and run 35-50 frames on x11, but dies to 18-22 frames on x12. thinking about building a flight simming pc.
For Intel about anything based around socket LGA 1200 motherboards will work pretty well. You can always upgrade your CPU or RAM at a later date. Whatever you can possibly afford for graphic cards is better. I agree that 6 gig is probably minimum and not 4. Great video and I agree.
Hi, im planning to by this equipment: Intel i7-12700F, 16GB, 2TB and NVIDIA GeForece RTX 4060...it will works? Thk ;)
That will work medium to high settings.
I run xplane 11 and 12 on a 24" iMac M1 chip and get 30-50frames and 19-30 frames respectfully (settings range from medium to low with a few settings on high). I was thinking about transitioning to a PC for flight simming but hearing what some of the low frame rates PC users are getting on what seems to be pretty powerful computers, now I don't know if it would be worth flopping down another $2500 bucks to build a PC???
X-12 will run faster as it matures. This is the usual run on system resources that will eventually be ironed out. I would stick with your current setup for now.
Years ago, I can remember people running top tier i7 and Nvidia Titan cards. They were still running in the low 40 FPS range due to X-Plane not utilizing all those resources properly.
By about X-Plane 12.2r5 or 12.3r5, we should see better system utilization.
Joe I need help with x-plane12. I cannot get the brakes to release flying the A320. No matter what I do, the airplane is locked into position. I can't find any help any where. Thanks in advance if you can help me solve this problem.
Which A320 in X-Plane 12 are you flying?
If you don't have the parking brake assigned to a joystick/yoke, I think the parking brake defaults to your spacebar or "b" key on your keyboard. That should release the brakes as sometimes the toe brakes on rudder pedals don't always suffice.
Is windows 11 OK to run xlane12???
Thx
It is. I am running the latest Beta of X12 on the latest version of Windows 11 with no issues.
What would you think about an Rtx 2060, i7-9700F, 16 gb DDR4? I am really excited for Xp12 but am wondering if I should upgrade any parts to prepare.
Are you looking to upgrade?
If not, maybe just add some more RAM. You should be able to run medium settings and maybe some high settings as well.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION Gotcha. I am thinking about upgrading towards a 30 card in the future. But I might look into more ram. Maybe 32.
@@kaikattogaming7361 The RTX 30 card would be a great update. I am trying to hold out for the RTX 40 cards. The rumor mill has them showing serious gains over the 30 series already.
Hey man I’m looking to build a pc later In the year, I’m not trying to break the threshold of $1300 I was thinking of a i5 10600K, Radeon 6600XT (8gb vram) and 16/32 gb of ram, do you think I should be safe to get decent visuals?
That should work for medium and some high settings.
May I ask why the 10600k? Do you already own that cpu or a compatible motherboard?
If you are building from scratch, buy the 12600k and you will be much happier moving forward. That cpu will also support newer tech like faster PCIe lanes and better utilize newer GPUs.
I'm going to wait and see if my 8700K, 32G and NVidia 1080TI will do the work before upgrading.
Cheers
You have no need to update yet! That 1080 Ti will carry you forward. Do you have the 8700k overclocked and cooled?
@@JoeNDBAVIATION I did overclocked but only as an in bios option and in the limits of the CPU cooler, so I think the safest boost I can get is around 4.6Ghz. Come to think of it, maybe investing in better CPU fan will allow for better overclock, but I prefer to play safe.
I have the same components too and will see if upgrading is necessary. I have my 8700K OC'd to 5.0Ghz with the Noctua NH-D15s cooler.
i always had problems with xplane 10 and 11 12 cant even install
You may need a more powerful computer.
Rtx 3050 will it run in my laptop
It will, but at reduced visual settings.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION But sir I have 8 gb ram, i5 11tg gen 512 gb ssd, Will it run smoothly and storage will cover
i have an i5-6400 CPU, GTX 1070, 8GB of ram. is that ok for x plane 12?
Not sure yet, but I think that you should be able to get away with medium settings depending on how they setup the "sliders" for other visual settings.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION well on x plane 11 i get usually 28-34 fps on high settings just world objects turned down to High from maximum and visual effects 1 notch down
Heyy is my I7-9700 good enough and my rtx 3070 and 16GB
I bet that will work perfectly! If you add some serious add-ons, maybe upgrade the memory to 32 GB of ram.
How do you like your RTX 3070? I'm still working with my old 1080 GTX.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION alright thx mate appreciate it!
@@JoeNDBAVIATION it’s a very good gpu
How about Mac. I meet the requirements for the demo of X Plane 10 but very slow. OS Mojave 2.9Ghz Intel core i5, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 512 MB, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
That is a tuff call! IF you are still on X10 and it is very slow.... I am assuming X12 will not run any better if at all. Sorry.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION I can still get 9 online. Is version 9 still a decent flight simulator? The view of the cockpit looks fine to me not sure about the scenery, I haven't got that far. I may go ahead and get 9 since it runs ok with my Mac.
@@Berkner80 what are your visual setting in X10?
@@JoeNDBAVIATION 10 plays better but still can't zoom out much, tried everything. I made a video on it. th-cam.com/video/F6CGzhD7GZc/w-d-xo.html&feature=share9
Using render 1280x720 but tried other settings also.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION I updated to Catalina on my iMac so can run the 11 demo. Could not load the 12 demo said something like missing metal or something. It's ok 11 is fine. Can zoom a little better but not perfect, I hold down the right key on mouse and can pull out. I will keep working on it.
Am I good to go with a RTX 3060, Ryzen 7 5800x, and 32 GB of RAM?
You should be golden! The issue you might run into will be high to ultra graphics settings. Looking at previous releases, you should be in a sweet spot with that rig for medium and slightly above.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION Thank you so much for letting me know!
Those are decent specs. Are you cooling the 5800x with air or an AIO? Also, are you using an M.2 drive or an SSD?
@@zingwilder9989 I’m using a dual tower air cooler for my CPU and average to about 80 and 85 celcius in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
I’m also using two SSD’s, one with 500GB and the other with 1TB
@@armanchermakyan9924 You should be OK if it stays under 90C, but MSFS 2020 is certainly taxing. Also, you've got some nice size SSD's. Currently, I'm running an i7-8700k with a Corsair H100i AIO. It stays under 60C at full load (stock no overclock). For storage, I've got 2 x 1TB and 1 x 500GB SSD's. About 5 months ago, I did install an M.2 drive in my wife's PC and the boot time is completely unbelievable. My GPU is an MSI (Armor) 1070ti. I can get about 42-44 fps with MSFS on High (some Ultra) settings at 1440p resolution. The card was getting warm with MSFS at about 78-79C. I was fortunate enough to have a CM Scout 2 Advanced case with two side panel spots for fans. After installing a couple of Noctua 120's, the card is now maxing out at about 67C.
my specs are amd ryzon 3, gtx 1650 and 24 gigs of ram do you think i can play xplane 12 alright? i get about 20 fps in xplane and the same in mfs :( but thinking about upgrading to ryon 5 processor
What are the visual settings you are using in X-Plane and MSFS?
20 FPS is already on the low side. You want at a minimum of 30 FPS for basic realism.
Upgrading to a Ryzen 5 won't solve all of your issues. You may want to look at a RTX 3060 or AMD equivalent as the prices continue to drop.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION ok my settings on mfs are medium and low my xplane settings are abit high but I will lower them
@@Kailum8866 Let me know what you end up with after lowering them. Nvidia has a built in slider within the "Nvidia GeForece Experience" that can assist in hitting a specified fps.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION currently my xplane is just a black screen :/ so I can't play
Do you know if it will come to xbox series x?
I'm going out on a limb here and going to say no. I haven't had a chance to catch up on all the news from Oshkosh yet, but console porting has not been a focus.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION ah okay 👌, i know how hard it is to compete with msfs but more and more, you see console players on msfs really appreciating other aspects of the sim. I think atleast 80 percent of console players would not have otherwise picked up a pc only flight sim. I hope there's plans for us down the line but i definitely understand why at the moment it too much of an ask. How cool would it be though, in 5 years or so, if you could swap between DCS, msfs and x-plane on your Xbox.
@@molo2793 It would be amazing to port X-Plane over, but they have spent a lot of time and money on the mobile version.
I doubt that Laminar has much in the plans for a console port. The big issues with a console port comes down to the compatibility with the OS. There is a potential for it, but until we see a large proliferation of sim peripherals that work with xbox, I don't see this happening.
The large gripe I have with the latest consoles, was that they moved to an x86 architecture but still require "special" devices for connecting to them. All together the licensing issues around product peripheral support and software support are the issue that inhibit many from going to the xbox/PS5.
What can i expect with i5 12600/rtx 3060/16ram?
1600*900 monitor
I would hope for medium settings. We should be hearing news soon for the BETA and from there we will be able to get actual baseline numbers and expect the FPS to get better with future updates.
I have an Intel i3 processor but the x plane 12 installer opens and then after a few seconds it closes. But I do not want to upgrade my GPU. Is there a way I can allow x plane 12 to work with my current GPU?
What GPU do you have?
@@JoeNDBAVIATION 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1115G4 @ 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz.
@@seminnesotatrainsairplanes839 Do you have a graphics card or just the CPU?
Hi, and a 11400f with a gtx 1650 and 16GB of RAM?
You will be able to run it, but it will depend on settings somewhere around medium or below.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION i've tried the Xplane 11 demo and get around 45-50 FPS on medium-high settings. Would be good not to buy Xplane 12 and purchase the actual version?
@@santoschacon6973 You might be able to achieve 30 fps in medium settings depending on the overall visual settings.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION well, if that's the case it won't be enough for me, in fact I've bought X-Plane 11 and in some sceneries I got 75 fps. I hope to buy a better graphic card in the future when the new version is polished.
@@santoschacon6973 I'm in a similar boat concerning the graphics card. I'm saving up for a 4090 and a new PSU. My 1080 is truly beginning to struggle.
Playing on a laptop :/ i have a rtx 2060, 16gb ram, i7 and 1 tb ssd. And a laptop cooler... is it good enugh?
That should be enough for medium settings. Is the ram upgradable and which i7 do you have?
@@JoeNDBAVIATION i dont remember and mabye i can
@@JoeNDBAVIATION i7 10750 and windows 11. i dont think ic an install more ram no
@@birdie8271 what manufacturer and model laptop if I mas ask? I will look and see if it is soldered.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION msi
What about macOS ? Any updates on AppleM1 chip?
I'm not flying for a couple of days. I will reach out. I would assume support, but it would be nice to know how it is going.
Should be all set with my 5900x , with 125mhz pbo curve optimiser ,-8 on all cores , artic liquid freezer Ii 360 the best high performance aio for the money , 64gb ddr4 cl16 3600mhz running at cl14 , 16 ,14 ,16 ,16 34 with a palit gaming pro 3080 . If then decide to upgrade to zen 5 in the futuremy aio is fully compatible
We have a similar setup. I am now saving for a new RTX 4000 or Radeon 7000 series GPU, and most likely a new PSU while I am at it.
You have a nice PC setup!! How do you like the artic liquid freezer? I went with the Kraken x53 and am pretty happy.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION I love the artic freezer Ii 360 it's been so rebust and reliable , it's basically high performance with out the bling and RGB for only £89 at the time I've had it two years ( they do have an RGB version now though ), artic cust service Is fantastic lost some screws sent me them free , needed rev 4 mounting bracket due to a conflict with vrms on x570 master rev1.1 they sent the brackets free of charge , sinxing using rev 4 mounting kit my idle temps are 28-30c , in xp11 with Orbx TE , DD Seattle ,DD airports , Enhanced skyscapes , 4k , XP settings tweak of ai road traffic to 100 from 2 same with car density my lowest fps at 4k is 27fps at taxi g airports in the air 40 fps in airliner at 36000ft 50-60fps , i disabled ht CPU usage still only 12% - expect when new areas load and best part my temps are like 55c a couple more fps too :) ( 68 with mt enabled when running XP )I can render , have files decompressing while simming which great it's the reason I went for a 5900x , it's a good multitasker and still kickass , I have heard some point in xp12 s cycle there's going to be architecture restructure so more mutil thread scheduling , obviously it's a complex to keep everything synched but it's about time flightsim were less single thread bound for some processes. I will see how stock and pricing goes on the 40 series and actual performance increase , Im not one for hype train , also , for xp12 I can set a 80% custom resolution of 4k if needed at I really can't tell much like much difference in sharpness through my not so amazing eye sight with my glasses on 34 inch monitor , put will get an fps increase if gpu limited compared to native 4k , also there going be fsr 1.0 I'd would of preferred 2.0 but it's a start consider XP is not a fast to twitch shooter or triple AAA game the results maybe be quite good
is a i5 11400f and RTX 3060ti and 16GB ram good enough?
I would assume medium settings. Maybe slightly better depending on how you set all of the rendering options. But you should be good to go with that. Maybe more Ram at some point.
I am highly disturbed by this mans excessively athletic eyebrows. 😷😷😷
They have a mind of their own.
Thats BS man.. my 2080TI is still still dropping smooth awesome visuals with x11 stunning.. AMD5900x, ROG STRIX MB, 32gig Dominator RAM, 1TB M 2. drive 20TB Solid State DR, 2080TI 11 gig its going to make Xplane 12 look like a dream.. Then REVERB G2 time.. or build an all touch panel home cockpit
You have a great PC!
My reference is to the times in the past where even those running Titan cards were brought to their knees because of coding issues. An early run version of a sim can be difficult even on high end pcs.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION let's hope this time around, x12 utilizes the CPU cores better put some of the load on the CPU and code better for visuals.
I run triple 1440p screens with XP11. I have Ryzen 5950X and RTX 3080 and it barely gets 30fps. Even down to 20fps in some places. I think XP12 is not possible for me unless they improve multi core CPU use. My CPU is only 8% utilised and GPU 55% utilised with triple screens.
The Multi core use and Gpu usage I am hoping to hear updates about. You are a prime example of the a power user that has all of the required goods to run the sim at medium - high on multiple screens.
What are you visuals set at for the 3 screens?
It has been strange over the years how multiple screens have been so obstructive to FPS even with high powered components.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION It doesn't seem to matter what settings I use on the left-hand-side of settings (The GPU-centric ones). It's the single-core CPU performance that seems to be holding it up, not the GPU. The settings that make a difference to framerate are "World Objects", which I have set to "High" and also "Reflections" which I have to "Minimum". I am sure I used to get better performance under Windows 10. Currently I'm on Windows 11 and regretting the upgrade
@@flightsimdeskuk I have also noticed a drop in performance in Windows 11. I am going through all my settings and double checking unnecessary settings are off.
Go with fsx steam for some savings
If the goal is to save and have a flight sim experience, sure. But it's difficult to argue the advances in overall sim integrity and visuals with MSFS 2020 and the upcoming X-Plane 12 vs sticking with older sim tech.
FSX is a fine budget friendly solution that works on older PC's, large library of add ons, and large support community.
