Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 was the protagonist of a new session of tests and close encounters in which several magazines participated, including us at Multiplayer.it, an occasion in which it substantially reiterated that it is one of the simulations more technically impressive never seen on the face of the Earth, but at what price does all this goodness come? Let’s find out with the Official hardware requirements published in these hours.
To be honest, the barrier to entry is set quite low: if you look at the wide scalability of the settings and therefore the minimum requirements, these are definitely affordablealthough obviously they increase significantly as the characteristics increase.
It starts with the request for rather widespread CPUs such as AMD Ryzen 5 2600X or Intel Core i7-6800K, with Radeon RX 5700 or GeForce GTX 970 GPU as requirements minimumstotally approachable, but obviously there will be several compromises to be made in this case.
Accessible requirements, all in all
You can see the full requirements in the image below, which is really worth a thousand words, even if it doesn’t give you the approximate resolution and frame-rate targets for the various configurations.
Even the specifications recommended not only absolutely science fiction, considering that they talk about Ryzen 7 2700X or Intel Core i7-10700K with Radeon RX 5700 XT or GeForce RTX 2080 as graphics cards, while something more substantial is seen in the “ideal” level.
Beyond the predictable Radeon RX 7900 XT and GeForce RTX 4080 required, what is surprising at this level is the requirement for 64 GB of RAM, but this is still the maximum expected configuration.
An element that instead stands out for its “modesty” is the quantity of required space in archive for installing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Despite the colossal amount of data that the software manages, relying entirely on streaming this data from the cloud has allowed Asobo to impressively reduce the space requirements on SSD.
The request is for 50 GB but the actual size will probably be around 30 GB, a space that is practically laughable if you think about current standards (even the previous chapter, which requires 130 GB just for the basic installation), achieved thanks to a total shift in data management.
This now happens through one streaming dynamic that changes the amount of data in real time also based on the proximity to the elements of the scenario and the amount of detail required, which also leads to the inclusion of internet bandwidth in the official hardware requirements of the game.
It’s a system that is also described in our new review of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 published just today, to which we refer you for all the information on the subject.
