    One of your best videos! This is helpful for so many who got stuck in the black hole of tweaking things not understanding the basic and most important sliders already in the sim.

    • @adamfarkas5327
      @adamfarkas5327 ปีที่แล้ว

      I totally agree. These videos helped me gain a lot of performance in my sim as I have a mid-tier laptop. So for me, who's flying in a stuttery way, it helped me a lot, especially when I'm on VATSIM.

  • @wilfredgroeneweg
    @wilfredgroeneweg ปีที่แล้ว +1

    After watching this video I realized I was adjusting the wrong settings all the time!!
    So OpenXR doesn't need to be 130 or more to get a higher FPS rate. And changing configuration files is now also a thing of the past.
    Another nice explanation, thanks Mark!

    My system is now eight years old (GPU GTX 970, CPU i7-6700K 4.00GHz on a 1920x1200 monitor) but I'm shocked that it can still run MSFS very well, stutter-free on High settings. I can only imagine what modern rigs can achieve.

    I suggest your next video will be about AI Traffic FSLTL. I have installed it with the injector....I start the injector and when in the cockpit I select it from the tools above , it tells me it's not running....which I believe it is because I selected start from the desktop. I have tried prior to loading the sim and when the sim is running to start it....No Joy..........Puzzled !

    @WoodyPembs ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks Mark. Newcomer to FS2020, scouring around for any info. Biggest take-away for me is you saying 30fps ok, a bit more is better. Been dissapointedly lowering settings on my newly built (R5 5600/RX 6650 XT/32gb) pc to maintain around 55 fps. Exploring closer to 35fps should allow graphical improvements. And of course good to know the purpose & impact of those sliders.

AMD 7090XT and 5800X3D. They all increased from the installation settings which I checked before the first flight.

I'm not a computer guy but was able to build my computer specifically for Microsoft flight simulator and other games during the pandemic cause I was board and enjoy learning something new and haven't built a computer since 1998..LOL. so it is nice to have you explain some of the settings within the simulator and what it does and how it effects the sim. so thank you Mark very helpful.

    Hi Mark, I always look forward to your passing on your knowledge. I always send a 'like' but do not always write a response. This time IMHO you have excelled yourself in terms of benefiting me and many others, so maybe you are really onto something because Microsoft does not bother to give out this kind of information. I believe you are responsible for keeping people continuing in this frustrating program. I don't think Microsoft cares so I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for acknowledgment from that source. We do appreciate what you are doing. Thanks again. Michael

      @@SimHangerFS This was an excellent video to demonstrate how a Series X console can perform so well IF one has a 24/7 rock solid pure fiber optic internet connection. System on a Chip or SOC is absolutely the way of the future and within another decade the "next gen" Xbox consoles will be absolute number crunching behemoths yet at the same time being power misers compared to the old PC component format. The only thing I MUST do on my Series X is turn all extraneous "extra special effects" down to zero and disable multiplayer. Then on my 86" 4K UHD TV it makes FS 2020 simply and literally fly!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers kind sir.

    Thank you for this. There are lots of videos that try to show you how or come up with ways for you to get a better, smoother experience in MSFS. But very few are as thoughtful and take the time explain things like you do.
    One thing for sure though. MSFS is one of the most highly un-optimised piece of software I've ever used. The developers just don't seem to care it seems.
