Yet another opinion of MSFS

Those who are reporting (astonishingly) good performance; are you also using Bing Data and Photogrammetry settings on?

Photogrammetry is a hit and miss thing IMHO...

Toronto downtown looks terrible without it, but Seattle looks worse with it IMHO.

Not true..

Load up MSFS 2020 at dawn or sunset, enable real weather. If you don't ditch P3D after that, you need to see an eye doctor. The atmospheric immersion alone beats everything else that's currently out there. Imagine the sim in 6 months.

P3D is in the grave. Load up MSFS 2020, then look at some youtube videos of P3D - it feels like staring at a sim from the 90s.

Let me put a scenario to you. Let’s assumed you’re married. You and your wife have a child. Everything is great. Ten years later you have a second. But the first is no longer new and exciting. In fact, the child has faults some of which cannot be cured.

Using your logic you would offer the child to foster parents because it has faults and you can only accept the latest newest child.

Ridiculous eh? Of course. Just the same as your suggestion that P3D is no longer fit for purpose. By all means enjoy the new sim but don’t presume to tell me what I should do. I’ve been around long enough to know you never touch a new sim until several fixes and supporting software works properly.

Sorry, but I am not going to ditch P3D with my favorite aircraft, avionics, and scenery any time soon.  Awesome immersion.. sure.

Default airplanes.. OK, but not up to the standards of my current fleet, especially in the avionics category..

OK.Just wire me the cash and I will happily "upgrade". But for now, I will stay with my very well padded out P3D which works extremely well.

As other posters here. I'm staying with P3D.
The only thing from Your post I agree is: "Imagine the sim in 6 months" That is when I'll even consider MSFS as an alternative.

64Gb isn’t recommended anywhere for anything..... 

 

I just re-read your post, if you could use some commas, then, it would help a great deal...

Your recommendation for Ultra is wierd.  I use a 9900k, 2080ti, 32gb memory and it recommended Medium.  I wonder if the program is looking at something else to judge.

Hmmm something´s wrong at your end, I´ve got the very same specs you have and it recommended everything Ultra with 4K (I went for 2K looking for that extra smooth fps)

I have a 65" Samsung 4K Qled  that I use while waiting for VR, and I´m quite happy with 2K. Also I´m not that picky with resolution, of course 4K is better, but come on 2K is awesome and if I get smooth landings on huge airports for that, it´s a bonus.

I tried 2 K on my 4k monitor and it almost looks like Minecraft lol so I stay at 4 K and turn the rendering down

9900k, 32gb, 2070s, 1080p recommended ultra. Great over San Fran, New York and Cairo so far. I don't measure frames, as long as I am happy with performance and visuals, it means little.

@Ricardo41 P3D is dead? P3D may not be the latest one out there, but some people are still valiantly using FS9 to good effect.... :wink:

Well, I'm "stuck" with FSX:SE here on Win 7 because I need a new rig to run the latest sim. Granted, I may start crying if I watch any more VFR vids from the new sim as they are indeed wonderful, but hey, I recently landed a Blackburn Beverley (not available for MSFS) at Courchevel (LLH creations beautiful rendition) so I'm still having fun :biggrin:
