Discover which PC set-up is right for you and why it will make the difference as you take off across the skies in our helpful buying guide.
A flight sim PC is a computer designed specifically with simulation flying in mind. It will be spec'd to deliver a smooth gaming experience that ensures the simulation is as true to life as possible, bringing a level of realism unobtainable by other gaming consoles.
To get the full flight simulation experience it is key to firstly have a PC spec'd for your intended flying game and a monitor with a high refresh rate and response time to enable smooth stutter-free gameplay. On top of this you'll want to expand your set-up with a compatible joystick and throttle, while those after an even more realistic experience will accompany this with pedals and a yoke. To finish off you'll want invest in a flight cockpit, especially when flying for long periods of time. This provides great comfort but also allows you to sit in the prime flight position.
When purchasing a PC for Flight Simulation, several factors are crucial:
The minimum system requirements vary depending on the Flight Simulation software you intend to use. However, as a general guideline:
While laptops can handle Flight Simulation, desktop PCs generally offer better performance and upgradability. If you opt for a laptop, ensure it meets or exceeds the recommended system requirements for your chosen Flight Simulation software. Additionally, consider factors like cooling and portability based on your usage preferences. Laptops can also suffer from limited connectivity due to their size. Not having enough ports can mean flight simulation peripherals like joysticks, yokes, pedals and headsets can't all be used at once, unless you have a USB hub to extend the number of ports.
Both options have their pros and cons. Building a custom PC allows you to tailor the components to your specific needs and budget, potentially saving money and ensuring higher quality parts. However, it requires technical expertise and time for assembly. On the other hand, buying a pre-built PC offers convenience and may come with warranties and support, but you may pay a premium for the service. Evaluate your comfort level with DIY projects and your budget before deciding.
While a high refresh rate monitor (such as 144Hz or 240Hz) can enhance the overall gaming experience by providing smoother visuals, it's not essential for Flight Simulation. Flight Simulators focus more on realism and detailed graphics rather than fast-paced action. However, if you also play other games or desire a more immersive experience, a high refresh rate monitor can be beneficial.
