Can simpleplane be played on intel celeron N2830 2.16 GHZ?

    @plane634 hey, hello its been a month i just want to say my laptop can run it smoothly even in the medium and lowest setiing (the physics though is on high) but it can run smoothly...

    @OldBomber well... I can't say for sure, however I'd estimate the FPS at that settings to be somewhere in the mid 20s (20-24 FPS) at best, and low 10s (10-5 FPS) at worst, I've tried mimicking your laptop's performance on my own laptop through the use of Window's power plan and here's what I found, do take this with a pinch of salt :
    • On purely medium settings, the game ran at around 7-14 FPS, and that's while doing nothing but being idle on the runway.
    • Upon setting Anti-Alisasing to none, aircraft reflection low, and no air nor ground AI, the game ran about 1-2 FPS more.
    • Flying around reduces the performance even more, down to 6-9 FPS.
    This data however may not be an exact match to the actual performance of the game when played at your specifications, so again take this with an pinch of salt.
    Someone asked a similar question several years ago if you're interested, there's also a comment in this post that stated an average performance of a Celeron 1017U on SP med settings, and a comment here that might estimate how many parts your CPU can handle

    @plane634 my ram is 4gb but you sure that my laptop can run it? Even in the medium setting?

    Technically yes, the minimum CPU requirement for SP is Core2Duo Q6867 which is released back in 2011, while the N2830 is released in 2014, what's as important is the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) requirements, for SP the minimum GPU is the 7200 GS, which only has 128mb of RAM and 450MHz clock speed, the integrated GPU on the Celeron is faster at 750MHz and had more RAM, as for the RAM of the laptop itself, as long as you've got more than 2gb it's should be enough.
    However, even though SP can run on this system I recommend using the lowest settings, if you want higher settings try slowly increasing the settings to find the perfect balance of quality and FPS.
