722: My SU5 Tuning #3 – Menu Bar not Hiding

| Tom Tsui

In MSFS sim update 5 (SU5), the white triangle of the menu bar on top of the screen doesn’t hide itself as it did in the past when you move away the mouse from it.MenuBar  Maybe a bug and probably will be fixed in future updates.

I remember there is a command or a key or something that can hide it but I don’t remember what it exactly is.

However, I do remember there is an addon I downloaded a few months ago that can hide the menu bar.  It’s called No Handle Bar from ither.

I didn’t use it then.   Now a good temporarily fix or maybe for good.

With the improvements brought by the MSFS Sim Update 5  (SU5), I can push many graphics rendering options further to the higher ends.

However, I decided to make changes to only four of them in the end because I don’t see any noticeable benefits of changing the others as well.  Therefore, I’d rather keep them as they were so as to grasp more power leveage on hand for the running of the simulator as a whole.

Following are the Graphics Setting updates for my 1080Ti computer (3090 to come later) with the SU5. Continue reading →

720: My SU5 Tuning #1 – nVidia Control

Update does not necessarily bring improvements to all aspect.  One noticeable degradation from the recent MSFS Sim Update 5 (SU5) to me is the increased aliasing of the aircraft in external views and many other objects closing by.

As reported in my Post 716 and 717, my MSFS Settings were just finetuned a couple of weeks ago. Except the Power Management I changed to Prefer Maximum Performance in nVidia Control, all others were kept as Default without changes.

With SU5, I have to adjust many items in nVidia Control related to antialiasing accordingly in order to counteract the image degradation. Continue reading →
