Hi
I have now read trough the threads in this group, in search of an answer to my question.
What resources will be in most demand? The question is of course not easy to answer. It all depends on what you are to run on it.
As I have understood there there is 3 main flightsim programs; FSX, P3D, Xplane. In my case I would like to run FSX with the possibility to go into P3D in the future. The FSX has some shortcomings due to not being able utilize the 64bit windows (or something like that). There is no problem finding the requirements for the different programs, but it gets tricky when you install PMDG and several scenery add ons.
I have heard many people struggling with heavy loads on the system. But what do you actually need to fulfill these requirements? more RAM? more CPU? Cores? more GPU RAM? I need to address this problem before speculating on building a new rig.
