Make sure that it will run on devices with RAM below 4GB RAM since I have 3.9 GB usable and below 1.8 GHz. I can't afford a new PC and I have to make use of my [email protected] laptop from my mother.

I has a same configuration and YSFLight versions 20120701 & 20181124 works normally for me under Linux (version 20150425 is less usable on Linux)Ruskiwaffle1991 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 9:11 amrun on devices with RAM below 4GB RAM since I have 3.9 GB usable and below 1.8 GHz
Just use YSFlight OpenGL1 (not D3D or OpenGL2) executable try disable "clouds" in YSFlight graphics configuration settings.
P.S. Otherwise try "ACM" — very lightweight free & open-source flightsim:

It's not free, but FS2004 is pretty good at running on weak comps. I could run it on a 2010 laptop with 2 GB total RAM.

@u2fly ACM looks complicated to download and I am good to go with YS. Also there is a website where you could download IL-2 1946 with a few mods.

If you have 4 GB of memory and only .1GB of memory is being used for graphics (I'm assuming you are using the integrated graphics from your CPU), that might be a problem.
In my experience, Windows 10 barely works with 4 GB if any updates are going on in the background. Maybe check the task manager and see what's using your memory and stop it?
