As Ilya already told - huge space with good resolution terraine need more memory both graphics card and PC itself.

PS. It is possible to make excellent detail of surface with close look and forget about large map. Or to make flight some that will every 20 sec will upload with visible uncceptable for flight sim pause the surface that isn't in memory (just in common words without any specific).

Thank you for the answer. That should be a clear statement for people still on a 32Bit OS and 4GB of RAM. The 64Bit exe is a necessity for smooth gameplay then.

I'll look forward to seeing 8GB of memory filling up.
