you won't have all of the adjustments because the game will be tuned by the company for the specific platform

And it will look worse than the PC version, whatever they say

With some folks blowing $1500.00 on video cards, I would hope so.  Seeing the target price for a Series X is $500 to $600 for the entire console.  Question is, will it look 3 times as worse?

So, someone is selling a "manual" for 9 or 10 dollars!

LOL.

Awesome scam! This topic should be blocked.

Uh, no.  The pdf mentioned in the OP is free to download, is limited in scope to basic performance tweaks and we were commenting on it.  The PDF itself is a teaser for another guide that someone is selling for 10 bucks.

I am not sure where you get the idea it's a scam.  Primus made an industry out of publishing "strategy guides" for all sorts of games.  It's a practice that dated back to the original Doom.  This is no different and I'm wondering why you are so threatened that you can suggest a topic be blocked that you either failed to read the entire thread, or simply misunderstand about the well established and valid practice of publishing strategy guides for major AAA titles.

I thought the days of all of this would be over. Ahhhh well...... 

That will never happen - as long as we have home computers and can tweak stuff! 😀 Tweaking and modding is what makes PC gaming fun, I cant wait to check out cfg files and such like in FSX! 

As I stated I went from about 17-19 to 58 fps.

As a test late last night, I put MSFS into its full Ultra settings and flew in a heavy scenery area, JFK. I got 40-45 fps. So whatever this guide did to improve performance on my system, it was NOT their suggestions for settings inside the sim that made the biggest difference. It was something set very wrong outside of FS itself that was causing huge mega problem(s).

Tone down the settings inside MSFS from everything Ultra, following the guide's settings, and in sparse scenery areas, it goes 56-60 fps.

My system (a whole brand new computer commercially built), a lowly Ryzen 5 3600 cpu / 2600 super gpu card, total cost shipped to me under $1200. IBuyPower brand.

I had spent hours gleaning suggestions here and there, nothing worked or really helped much at all, until I did this systematic structured approach.

Another helpful thing early in the guide is how to fly to a house address without messing with text editing .pln and .flt files (like Squirrel demonstrated in his MSFS Tutorial #5 on Youtube which took a long time as was tricky). All you need to do is grab the (decimal) coordinates for the house off of Google maps and paste them (Control V) into the search bar in the main MSFS screen where you set up flights. MSFS will make the house a waypoint, convert the coordinates properly for you when it generates the .pln and .flt text files when you save the flight plan. A minute instead of 10 minutes.

Its because people are used to get everything for free from the internet.

Whats with all of this flying to houses carry on?

I spent around 1000€ to build signature PC, bought GPU lowest when it was current gen, bought CPU and MB highest cause I needed it for other stuff.
Can you do everything that a computer does on a console? And upgrade/fix stuff for cheap? And play games with better graphics?

i'm not here to get into a PC vs Console war.  Rest assured that MS is going to optimize the Xbox Series X version of MSFS to look as good as it possibly can and run as smooth as it possibly can, even if it means reducing draw distances, using compressed textures or any other myriad of tricks available.  Will it look as good as a PC three times the cost?  Probably not.  Nor should it be expected to.

There's never been a war, it was a slaughter.😂

I'd just like to comment on some of these:

I've forgotten to add this tip:

1. Open a cmd prompt / powershell window
    
2. Type the following:
   powercfg /DUPLICATESCHEME e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61
    
3. Open you Win10 power profile and use the newly created "Ultimate Performance" profile.
    
4. Enjoy!

PS: use at your own risk, I don't know whether this is also affecting thermal throttling.

what exactly does this do?

should be self-explanatory at point #3? otherwise for more details you might want to google "ultimate performance power profile"
