727: I Gave My PC a Little Push
Probably like most of you, I don’t deliberately overclock my computer even though the hardware I got are OC-capable. Normally I just leave it to the BIOS to auto tweak the computer a bit by default.
Surely this is fine as our systems can run to spec stably.
Unfortunately, no difference from other flight simulators, the MSFS 2020 performs better on better performing computers.
Therefore I lately further enabled XMP, thru which I got about 8-10 fps increase in MSFS by pushing the DDR4 RAM from standard 2400MHz to its rated 3200MHz. That’s not insignificant I dare say.
726: Set MSFS Priority to High at All Time #2
The “Prio-Process Priority Saver” that I used to set my computer’s CPU priority for MSFS to High as reported in my Post 714 no longer works after my computer’s firmware was upgraded to TPM 2 compatible, which is required for the coming Windows 11.
Instead, I am using Continue reading
725: My Settings Now on Menu

723: My SU5 Tuning #4 – ReShade
In MSFS, objects in far distance, even on a clear fine day, are too hazy to me. This is one thing in particular I dislike. And the Sim Update 5 (SU5) further worsens it as the overall color tone has been washed out, making the scenery looks very dull.
I use ReShade to tune the screen to my preferences. Click image to enlarge.
The app is somewhat like the “Shade for FSX” that changes the atmospheric effects in FSX in the old days, but ReShade for MSFS is more sophisticated. And most importantly, I don’t see any impact from using it at all.

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