XPlane11 vs XPlane12

btonnet Guest

As of the date I am posting this (10/09/2025) my Windows 10 PC is no longer being supported as Microsoft is moving to the Windows 11 OS. I currently have XP11 on my PC. My computer will need to be replaced and this leades to my first question. I would like my next PC to be able to handle everything that an XPlane 12 upgrade will throw at it so that I have the best simulation experience possible.
I read Ian's post on this forum about the differences between XP11 and12 and I wonder if he could recommend the PC specs that will help XP12 perform at it's best?
It sounds like the ATC in XP12 has been upgraded and I hope that means that I will no longer crash into terrain when following ATC direction on final approach. This happens almost everytime I'm on final in clouds. I thought it was me at first but I have recorded my flights and written down ATC directions and gone back and double checked altitude, heading, speed, barometric prx, etc. 
I love flying in Alaska but my computer constantly crashes, I think, because of a problem with scenery. This could be my computer. Does anyone else have this problem with flying XP11 in Alaska?
