system requirements

Due to the detailed 3D graphics and the time consuming physics simulation it is highly recommended that your computer system matches the following requirements to achieve a smooth simulation speed.

Minimum

  • 100% Pentium II compatible processor with at least 300Mhz
  • 32MB RAM
  • 20MB free hard disc memory
  • CD-ROM drive
  • OpenGL ICD compatible graphic card with at least 8MB
  • 100% DirectX compatible sound card
  • 100% DirectX compatible joystick (only required if you haven’t purchased the interface-version)
  • Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP with DirectX version 8.0a or higher
  • A free serial port (COM port) if you purchase the interface-version and a trainer output on your transmitter

Optimum

  • Pentium II-300 or AMD K6-300
  • 64MB RAM
  • OpenGL ICD compatible graphic card with 16MB
  • 100% DirectX compatible joystick with 4 axis (only required of you don’t want to use your own transmitter)

Supported transmitters

  • Graupner (FM314, MC10, MC16/20, MC24, ...)
  • JR
  • Multiplex (2020,3030, 4040)
  • Sanwa
  • Robbe
  • Futaba (F14, FC16, FC18, FC18, ...)
  • HITEC

Please note, that the 3D graphic card is the most important component for a smooth operation of easyFly. About 70-90% of all calculations are done on the graphic card. A fast processor will therefore be of not much help without the appropriate graphic card.
