For FlightGear to run smoothly, it requires a video card with OpenGL drivers. OpenGL 2.0 or higher is required for FlightGear 2.0 and later. Most modern PCs support OpenGL, but if you are having trouble with slow frame-rates, see [[Hardware Recommendations]] for more information. | For FlightGear to run smoothly, it requires a video card with OpenGL drivers.

Many laptops with insufficient 3D hardware acceleration capabilities are known to have issues with running FlightGear. Since laptops are smaller, the graphics card(s) on them are usually lower-end. See [[notebooks known to run FlightGear]] for reviews of several laptop systems. | Many laptops with insufficient 3D hardware acceleration capabilities are known to have issues with running FlightGear.
