    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.

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.

    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.

Now that I finally got all the components for a 13th Gen build i9 13900KS, Tuf 4090OC, 6200mhz DDR5 32GB ram No matter what settings I have it's over 60FPS! BTW I did have the 4090 since day 1 3 months ago and it sure performed just like everyone was saying, however once I stuck that 13900KS in the mix... Whoa! even with the air traffic(FSLTL) It does NOT drop to below 55-60 FPS even @ KJFK, Heathrow, Tokyo... ect... Yeah with the eye candy cranked all the way up.
