Performance
One of the main concerns of any flight simulator enthusiast is the performance impact of add-ons on their system. Aerosoft Mega Airport Madrid Barajas X is designed to be optimized for both low-end and high-end systems, with various options to adjust the level of detail and complexity. You can choose between three different settings: low, normal, and high. The low setting reduces the number of objects and animations to improve the frame rate, while the high setting increases them to enhance the realism. The normal setting is a balanced option that offers a good compromise between performance and quality.
In our tests, we found that Aerosoft Mega Airport Madrid Barajas X ran smoothly on our system, with no noticeable stutters or lags. We used the normal setting with a resolution of 1920x1080 and an average frame rate of 30 FPS. Our system specifications are:
Intel Core i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GPU
16 GB RAM
Windows 10 64-bit OS
Of course, your performance may vary depending on your system configuration and settings. We recommend that you follow the installation instructions and tweak your settings according to your preferences and needs.
