Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 System Requirements

Today we're diving into the system requirements for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and comparing them with Flight Simulator 2020. With the new release coming up, it's important to check if your system is ready for the next-gen sim or if you might need an upgrade.
We'll cover:
Minimum, recommended, and ideal system specs for MSFS 2024
Key differences between MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024 requirements
Important changes like DirectX 12 exclusivity and increased RAM needs
How these changes affect performance and what they mean for you
The detailed specs are displayed on-screen throughout the video, so make sure to compare them with your current setup.
Let me know in the comments: Is your system ready for MSFS 2024, or are you planning some upgrades?

The people currently complaining about internet and gpu requirements are the same people complaining at MSFS 2020 launch and demanding single player, off-line. Luckily most of us want, at least some sims and games to break new ground.

I recently build a PC specs are: GPU: RTX 3060 12gb CPU: i5 13400f RAM: 32gb ddr4 3600mhz 512gb SSD my network is slow, It avg on about 75-125 mbps I wanna play the game on 1080p 45 fps with Dlss, Any idea on how it will perform?? please answer

It need 50 gb of storage that's great news for series s users

[@sheepdogproductions1272]

Would a RTX 3060 6gb vram 32gb ram and 12th gen i7 1200H cut it?

[@KAVaviation]

Well, I gues I gotta upgrade my 1650 to a 3050

[@suvkaka]

The specs are for VR mode? Or single screen?

[@VRFlightWorld]

Without VR.

is a 4070 good tho and a Ryzen 7 7800 ?

[@VRFlightWorld]

It’s going to be a bit of a rolling scale. That Gpu will definitely be great but from experiencing the 2020 version, I know that the sim will eat up any power you give it. I run a 4090 on the current sim and it still gets bogged down when things are very dense. But the short answer. I think that will be a solid Gpu.

[@VRFlightWorld]

What I like to do is take the current specs and compare them with an online tool that uses user comparisons. Gives you a bit more of an idea on how it will fit in. Here is a site that I’ve used before. gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-4090-vs-Nvidia-RTX-4070/4136vs4148

Do you think it will be optimised for Xbox series x?

[@VRFlightWorld]

I listened to a dev Q&A and they said it has been optimized for both the S and X. They said it will run at 1080p for the S and 4K on the X. I believe they were talking about 30 fps for these. Which if it is a steady 30, then that should be good. But it sounds like they spent time trying to optimize for these.

i have a 2060 is it good enough?

[@thedude3005]

You really can't tell from these requirements since nothing is really clear, these requirements are truly a nothing burger, but, as a guess, it probably will be similar to msfs2020, from the top of my head you should get a 60fps at medium settings at 1080p with dlss set to quality. Just don't pre order and wait a little after the release, proper benchmarks will drop and only then get it if they are up to your standards. It will most likely be playable, I wouldn't really stress it but better be safe than sorry

[@VRFlightWorld]

I suspect you will be fine with a 2060, however it is going to depend on what you want to get out of the sim. If you want 4K and 60fps, then you might be disappointed. As mentioned in the other comment, it’s pretty hard to know until the sim is released, but from what I can see, you should be ok to run the sim.

I have a 4070 I’m chilling
