Today, I have found out about this game and wanted to give it a try. However, when I pressed "Launch Orbiter", it was on the loading screen, and then crashed. I acknowledge that all my computer requirements exceed the recommendations, and I am currently reinstalling it.
 
Last night it started working, but the problem is my memory cannot handle the game and is at 1 fps (8GB RAM btw).
How strange! My computer runs it even though I had 4GB of RAM. Now I have 8GB but I still have no fluidity problems and it even works better on Windows (11) than on Linux (Manjaro Linux).
 
8 GB of RAM should be enough to handle Orbiter 2016. The speed is almost only limited by the GPU / Graphics-System.
Are you sure you are not using "Software rendering"?
And (to rephrase @gattispilot) : "[...]please post the orbiter.log file. It [usually helps] in troubleshooting[...]"
