My machine I bought way back in about 2011 is still pretty current and runs FSXA no problem. 64bit. 8GB ram, I5 processor. OK they've updated things a bit but not that much in all that time. Guess most development now is going into mobile devices
You are so right. My "other" computer is from early 2008. It is a 3ghz dual core with 4 gigs slow ram [3.5 gigs usable due to running Windows XP], 32 bit , Gts-450 video card. It runs FSX very well and it was my main computer until just recently.
That is pretty darn good, and we still use it almost daily for various things. I hope my current computer has a useful life that is that long, but I doubt it. Due to the current developments in Flight-Sims and complex aircraft to go with them , I think that new high-perf. computers may be needed to really run them well.
