Please help improve this article by updating it. There may be additional information on the talk page.

These hardware recommendations are based on informal user experience, be sure to consult other sources before making serious decisions regarding computer hardware.

You may also want to check out the following article on building your own FlightGear box based on decommissioned and refurbished server: Howto: Build a cheap FlightGear box.

Recommended Hardware for FlightGear 1.9.x

  • A 3D video card, with support for OpenGL 1.2 or better (OpenGL 2.0 is preferred) and at least 128-256 MB video RAM. Flightgear requires a hardware accelerated 3D video card with OpenGL drivers to run at reasonable frame-rates. Most modern PCs have hardware accelerated 3D cards. If your FlightGear video is not running smoothly, see Configuring OpenGL. See Supported Video Cards) for a list of video cards known to work with FlightGear. Note that cards with working shader support will enable FlightGear to run with more visual effects.
  • At least 512-1024 MB free RAM (and more is better). FlightGear uses more than 500 MB of RAM by default. If less free RAM is available, FlightGear would be slowed down significantly due to OS swapping
  • A 1-2 GHZ CPU (multi-core processors have benefits for some FlightGear components such as the tile loader)
  • 500 MB HD space for a minimum installation, 3 GB if you want to compile it yourself, plus up to 8 GB for optional world-wide scenery
  • A 3 button mouse or 2 button mouse with scroll wheel
  • An optional sound card, Soundblaster compatible, preferably with EAX support
  • An optional joystick/yoke and/or pedals - Gameport or USB (HID compatible), see Supported Peripherals for a list of input hardware known to work with FlightGear.
