Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7

Mac OS X 10.10, 10.9, 10.8

10 Gb+ hard drive space

At least 2-4 Gb free RAM

At least a quad core processor with ~ 2 GHz each, 64 bit architecture (and operating system)

High speed internet connection such as cable internet to load in flight area scenery

Screen with a resolution of at least 1024x768 @32bpp (most GUI dialogs cannot be used otherwise currently)

A 3D video card (with AMD or NVIDIA chipset) with support for OpenGL 2.1 or better and at least 1024-2048MB of dedicated DDR3+ (DDR5 preferred) VRAM (i.e. 512 Mb VRAM minimum).
