I’v played AH3 on a Intel MacBook Pro from early 2017 using BootCamp and Windows 10 without problem. I now play it on a MacBook Air from 2021 with an M1 chipset using Parallels and Windows 11 - works like a charm.
Best,
Marc

As an aside, I play it using an ethernet optic fiber access to the internet: bandwith is not a factor, can’t say if it would work as well with wifi only.

Marc, may I ask what kind of frame rates you are experiencing?   I have a 2021 MacBook Air.    Only two ports, though - both USB-C.

How do you hook up flight controllers?   Do you plug them all into a USB hub and then connect it to the MacBook with a USB-to-USB-C adapter?

I have anything between 45 and 60 fps - not perfect but way better than the 30-ish fps I had on the MacBook Pro with Bootcamp.
I plug my stick and pedals on a USB-C Saitechi adapter (which provides two USB ports and a power one) with the headset on the second USB-C port.
Hope it helps,
Marc
