Hello @Lenkarepublika,

If you're referring to Microsoft's newest Flight Simulator released last year, you will need to purchase a high-end gaming laptop or workstation with a powerful graphics card. I ran the new Flight Simulator on my own device which uses an eGPU with a full-sized GTX 1070 and it was struggling on low to medium graphics settings. The GTX 1070 was definitely bottlenecked due to limitations of the PCIe lanes over Thunderbolt 3 and also due to the CPU hence the GTX 1070 wasn't actually running at its full potential. However, you can basically get the idea that the new game is extremely intensive and you should only expect to play it on low to medium settings on a laptop.

You can check out HP's OMEN gaming lineup or their workstations. 

Kind regards,

Edward
