Sims should come with their own processor... and also their own computer as well as a desk and a room and a building to put them in... then it truly would be plug and play. For real. I'm assuming you would have to supply your own electricity though, hard to include that in the simulator's box.

: )

In all seriousness, any of the modern day computers will run the simulators with flying colors. You don't have to know the specs much, but anything in the $1,500 price range, from Dell all the way to Costco, will do just fine.

Actually, I have 3 hours of simulator time in a full-motion DC-10 simulator just like you're describing... It did indeed have it's own building, computer(s) and power supply and I'm sure it didn't run off of 110v out of a wall socket. It was a truly amazing experience.

Now, how do I get that thing in my car so I can bring it home???
