These are the minimum requirements to run ORBITER 2010 on your computer:

  • Windows 98/2000/XP/Vista
  • 1.2 GHz Pentium or equivalent processor
  • 512 MB system RAM
  • DirectX 7 or newer
  • DirectX compatible graphics card with 64 MB of memory
  • Approx. 120 MB free hard disk space for minimum installation.

Running Orbiter on a lower-spec computer is likely to result in unsatisfactory performance.
