The official FS2024 SU4 has been released. I must say that it is superb and excellent and even better than the Beta I’ve been running over the last few months.
Here’s the minor update of my Graphics Settings for FS2024 SU4 (1.6.32.0). Actually, I seldom run FS2020 these days, but I am still keeping it in my system because there are addons compatible with and can be ported to FS2024.

Following my earlier Graphics and NVIDIA adjustments, my ReShade and AimxyZ settings for FS2024 were tuned accordingly as follows.

Here’s an update of my current Graphics Settings for FS2020 and FS2024 SU4 Beta (1.6.16.0). Since I basically don’t run FS2024 SU3 anymore, its settings have been and will be excluded from this and future updates.

My graphics setting in MSFS has been changed accordingly to the recent SU7 and Game of the Year (GOTY) update. Improvements are seen in general.
Regarding the highly anticipated DX12, although the overall image quality with the new feature is enhanced and refined, and framerate seems affected very little only; unfortunately, it does brings frequent micro-stutters in many locations. So DX11 is kept to be my choice. Continue reading
Setting CPU priority for MSFS to High does improve the performance of the Simulator. Instead of using third-party utilities, such as “Prio-Process Priority Saver” and “Process Hacker” to change the CPU priority as reported in Post 714 and 726, Nicolas Bouesnard in France sent me a registry tweak that achieves the same result.
Here are the steps: Continue reading
As the price of graphics cards goes down a bit lately, I decided to replace my 3-year-old GTX1080 Ti card with an RTX3080 Ti card last week. I was planning to get the ASUS ROG version but it was out of stock and no schedule for next shipment at that moment. So I got the TUF edition instead.
Frankly, with 12GB GDDR6X memory and a 1,755MHz over-clock rate, it is still a very powerful card to be used in MSFS for the next few years…I guess.
In general, I got an extra 75% to more than double the framerates with the new card straight from the box. Not to mention I pushed many settings to Ultra in the Sim.
Here’s the update of my Graphics Settings in SU6 with the new card. And I listed the framerates I roughly got from various activities and locations at the bottom of the table. Continue reading
While I was staying up late downloading the SU6 in the middle of the night, I received an email from John H. Helms saying that he couldn’t get his MSFS (Store version) updated to SU6.
He said the Sim notified him there was an update and took him to the Store. But there was no update option at all.
He tried resetting the MS Store and logging off the Store, rebooting computer, and logging on again. Neither worked. He added that all previous updates worked without any problem.
While he was a bit confused about it all, he thought he did the followings to get the update eventually: Continue reading
After spending about 2.5 hours completing the SU6 Update, I played with it for 30 minutes with all addons and settings I last used in SU5. Although I couldn’t tell what differences are exactly made, I am pretty impressed that the SU6 is quite good.
Regarding the update process, Continue reading
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.
