X-Plane 10 Global is built with the future in mind & makes full use of the hardware in your system If you own a fast multi-core machine you will be able to simulate more aircraft around you & see more details but even with a moderate machine "X-Plane 10 Global" is capable of displaying a tremendous amount of objects without slowing down Super accurate flight characteristics using a virtual wind tunnel
