The return of the Flight Simulator series is an anticipated one among fans. The game aims to take us high in the air with stunning graphics and recreations of many real life airplanes and airports. Just look at some of the screenshots of this baby and try not to be amazed at how incredible it looks. Like all Microsoft titles, it will also be coming to PC, and today we got the official specs for that. And boy, what a range of different settings.

First and foremost, the minimum requirements will need a AMD Ryzen 3 1200 or an Intel i5 4460 CPU, 8 GB of RAM and a recommendation of a 5Mbps internet connection. The recommended requirements bump it up to 16 GB of RAM, a AMD Radeon RX 590 or an NVIDIA GTX 970 and 20Mbps internet. Generally, there is only two settings, but Flight Simulator bumps it up to three with an ideal setting that sees a required Intel i7 9800X or an AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 2700X, a whooping 32 GB of RAM and a 50Mbps internet connection. All three need 150 GB of HDD space with ideal also listing the need of a SSD one.
