I did the switch about 2 years ago and never looked back. I hope I can get some decent responses so I can make up my mind about this. But I already found that in the least GPU stressing video software (games) things can get quite hairy on a linux machine. I know flight simulator software mainly stresses a CPU.
#XPLANE VS FLIGHTGEAR DRIVERS#
Does any of the available Flight simulators work well on open source graphics drivers? If not, the propriatary graphics drivers for my Videocard are sometimes better but may underperform depending on what game or program I'm running. I would like for the sim to atleast look alike vanilla FSX with good framerates. Multiplayer support that works within Linux (either build in or through third party software)Īnd by that I mean that graphics software does tend to run a little slower then I'm used to on Windows. I would however stress that I desire a fully impartial opinion on both products by anyone that's willing to advise me hence forth (unless one only has advice about one of the particular simulators) I have no experience with either of the Flight simulators, although X-plane 10 does seem to be a little more popular. (if there are other alternative Flight simulators, please specify)
I could use Wine, but I'm confident that's going to cause all sorts of performance issues and I expect many mods would present quite the challenge for them to be successfully installed so I decided I should forget thinking about using FSX on a Linux computer. I know Flight simulator X doesn't run on Linux, aswell as so many other games. I had always been very much into Microsoft flight simulator (2004, X)Īlthough I did take a large break in flight simming due to all sorts of priorities. Since a few months I've switched from using Windows to Linux (Ubuntu)
