Hello friends I am considering buying this flight simulator and I have a just one question.
My computer is a m1 iMac 7 cores with 8gb ram and I am wondering how this simulator would run on it.
Many thanks

We haven't tested this specific iMac model, but it is really at the lower end of what we recommend as it shares it's 8 GB of RAM for the graphics and the CPU, there might not be much left to run Aerofly FS 4. That being said: If you purchase from Steam, you can give it a try and if you don't like it or it doesn't perform well, you can always get a refund.
We have test Aerofly FS 4 on Mac Book Pro M1 16 inch and it runs just great on that computer, but they do offer more memory and more GPU power so it's hard to compare.

A quick update here: We just have a customer reporting back Aerofly FS 4 works fine on an Apple M1 MacBook Air with a 7 core GPU and 8 GB of RAM.

You should encounter a very low frame rate around New York, LA, and other big cities. I encounter them with a M1 Pro, so!
But, for the rest of world, the M1 Pro is under used. It looks like to be a choice of IPACS. Because another flight sim uses it clearly a lot many times more.
So, I can even imagine if you run Aerofly on a M1, M1 Pro, or more, their no difference.

Thanks for this new insight, if you don’t mind me asking what settings you are you on when you experience such a drop and how much of a fps drop it is. With this information I can probably estimate how much I will lose. Thanks!
