Hey there! I was wondering if the IPad gen 10 is enough to handle this game. I want to know how well Aerofly performs on my device before I buy the subscription and airplanes. Thanks! 
Is the IPad gen 10 an acceptable device to play on?

Hey i found this:
To run Aerofly FS Global (the latest mobile version) smoothly, you generally need an iPad with at least an A12 Bionic chip or newer, running iPadOS 15.6 or higher.
Recommended iPad Models
For the best experience with high graphic settings (like 3D buildings and complex clouds), these models are preferred:
- iPad Pro (M1 chip or newer): Users report that the simulator runs "very smoothly" on these chips, even on ultra settings. The 11-inch model is often cited as the sweet spot for handling and screen size.
- iPad Air (5th Gen or newer): Equipped with the M1 chip (or newer), this offers near-Pro performance for a better price and runs Aerofly excellently.
- iPad mini (6th Gen or newer): A great choice if you have limited space (like in a real cockpit), as it is powerful but compact.
Minimum Hardware Requirements
According to official specifications:
- Processor: A12 Bionic chip or later (e.g., iPad 8th Gen, iPad Air 3rd Gen, iPad mini 5th Gen).
- Operating System: iPadOS 15.6 or newer.
- Storage: At least 8 GB of free space for the base app and streaming data. Some versions can take up to 22 GB if you download high-resolution scenery.
Pro-Tips for Performance
- Heat & Battery: Flight sims are demanding. Even on a Pro model, the iPad can get warm. Some users recommend locking the frame rate to 30 fps to prevent overheating and save battery during long flights.
- GPS for Navigation: If you plan to sync Aerofly with moving map apps like ForeFlight, consider a Wi-Fi + Cellular model, as these are the only ones with a built-in GPS chip.
