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.

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 Жыл бұрын

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.

Great video, thanks! I just got back into simming and bought 2020 (guessing 2024 without bugs is about a year away). I've noticed my LOD and AMD FX settings on Windows are changing dynamically. AMD 7090XT and 5800X3D. They all increased from the installation settings which I checked before the first flight.

I was wondering about which setting have the most affects on my system it seem after each up date of the sim I have to keep going back in and adjusting the settings so it will run smoother and better. 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.

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.

@@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.
