Question Flight simulator for a potato pc

I wanna get into flight sims, but my PC doesn't really suport most of them.

I want something that looks good, and runs smooth on my PC.

I thinked of FSX, but then i found out that it runs on 32 bit.

My PC specs: Nvidia GT 750m, Intel core i7 4700mq, 16 gigs of RAM.

Aerofly fs4 without a doubt. It has really good scenery, flight physics, and default airports/planes. Plus the performance is insanely excellent. On my system I get a steady native 120 fps with all settings maxed out. On your specs I believe you could get 40 to 50 fps if you keep settings reasonable.

Maybe x plane 11 on low settings will work

FSX works perfectly on 64 bit systems. The Steam Edition at least.

However, there is a demo for X Plane 11. No harm in trying it.

As far as "looking good", I don't think that there will be much that looks good with your specs. XP11 can look decent, but you definitely won't get MSFS or XP12 with addons level. I think that XP11 will run decently on your system. I previously had a HD5450 for a GPU, with 8gb RAM and some i3 I think. FSX ran at about 40fps, and I could get XP11 to just barely run at 20. You should be fine.
