The Reality XP version actually runs off of the Garmin GPS simulator so it's right on in terms of 'buttonology'. I know you didn't ask but I also wanted to share some advice about using X-plane for IFR training.įirst, you should purchase the Reality XP 530 and the X-plane version is not exactly like the real thing. You should be able to get this setup or better for well under $1000. I use X-plane 11 with an Intel i5-8600K with an nVidia GTX 1070 and it works great especially since X-Plane implemented Vulkan as an alternative to OpenGL. If not, waiting for 11.50 to be production or a newer graphics card might be in order. I would say download the current demo, set the graphics options low as I don't think they impact the cockpit which is where you will mostly be focused, and see it it meets your needs. Without knowing your graphics card it will be hard to guesstimate how your performance will be. The new 11.50 will replace the entire graphics engine and has sped it up anywhere from 25 - 100% however, that release is still probably a month away of being in production and will be downloadable through the 'Try demo' button. It may still run good enough but you won't know until you try. SInce 11.50 is still in beta, I don't think you get that version if you click on 'Try Demo' and expect you will get the older and slower 11.41 version.
As drummer4468 mentions above, Xplane can run fairly well on an older graphics card as long as you stay at 1080p and do not turn the graphics settings too high and create too much of a load on either or both your CPU and graphics card. The current beta version of Xplane 11 runs better than before and can run fairly well on lower level graphics cards.
