Before I want to buy the Download of X-Plane 11, I decided to download the Demo. I was able to download it with no problems. When I got to the main screen, however, and decided to try a flight, it got stuck on 'Finishing Asynchronous loading', for about 30 minutes. I don't know if it was a problem with my computer, or a problem with the demo. My computer was not frozen, just didn't load. Any help on getting this working would be greatly appreciated!

It may be an issue with the resources in your computer.  

To run X-Plane 10 flat out or run X-Plane 11 at moderate settings, I recommend the following:
To run X-Plane 10 flat out or run X-Plane 11 at moderate settings, I recommend the following:
- A Quad-Core processor, or more.
- Each core running at 3.7 GHz, or faster.
- 16 GB of RAM (no more necessary).
- A SINGLE high-end, gaming-level Video Card (do not try and use 2 or more video cards in one machine) with at least 4 GB of dedicated, on-board VRAM, minimum.  6 or 8 GB OF VRAM WOULD BE RECOMMENDED.

To run X-Plane 11 on high settings, I recommend the following:
