Hello Lee, thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community. I am here to help and provide assistance with any questions or concerns you may have.
As of 2023, here are the recommended specifications for the game:
CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X.
RAM: At least 16 GB.
- GPU:
AMD: Radeon RX 590.
NVIDIA: GeForce GTX 970.
Storage Space: A whopping 150 GB.
DirectX: Version 11.
Your laptop specifications are as follows:
CPU: Intel Core i7-11800H (11th Generation).
RAM: 16 GB.
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 with 6 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory.
Comparing your specs to the recommended requirements, your laptop should be able to handle Microsoft Flight Simulator quite well!
The CPU and RAM meet or exceed the recommendations, and your GPU, while slightly different from the recommended GTX 970, is still powerful enough for a good experience.
Let me know if you have any other questions or if there is anything else I can do to assist you.
