Resolution : is 4K really necessary ?

Are we still talking about resolution? Because that's something you can easily adjust in any game's options.

Only if you want to substantially reduce the quality of the image. Monitors should always be run at their native resolution. I’m having to run my UHD monitor at 1920*1080 in P3D v3 when flying Concorde as VAS would soon run out if I didn’t.

But the image is heavily compromised. 😔

For that reason I'm hoping there will be an internal resolution scaling option which is popular among modern games, with a very good upscaling method. This would keep UI elements sharp at the native resolution, and would allow for easy supersampling when GPUs become a lot better.

Necessary? No. 
 

Is it nice? Hell yes 😎

Indeed, just as those of us should not be punished for not having better hardware as well. 

But I'm looking forward to see if, as Microsoft has said, they want the sim to run on as wide a range of hardware as possible. 

How will you be punished excluded?

Show me one game that was 4K option only??

I'll wait....

I  have a 43" 4K HDR10 unit as my monitor used for both PC and X-box one - and as I said earlier

I just love the quality - but to comment on Chaotic's quote.

I recently moved to XP 11 - and unfortunately - it is a big disappointment in 4 k since XP does not like it

Although - sometimes with reluctance - I can change the res to 4K - and need to increase the Font and screen size to 200%

 - but I need to do that every time I switch on - and similar to one or two other flying sims the mouse pointer and frame rate text etc is very tiny.

on one - the tip I was given was to to check the compatibility and make various adjustments - It worked in track IR but not in XP.

I cant use a lower resolution - the TV doesn't like it and crashes
