How to do with the new MFS?

Yes, how do you do wipe the Shaders Cache in MSFS ?

oh and updating the drivers in some peoples systems was causing Nvida game optimization to turn itself on and people not realizing that so thats one thing to check also,

no problem for me 456.71 seems ok for me.

Good question - since I didn't know I simply wiped the system shaders cache one of the options one has when performing a "disk cleanup" operation.

I installed MFS a few times, since the Alpha days, and noticed that sometimes when performing that after a reinstall or Nvidia driver upgrade there was no noticeable degradation in the FPS as opposed to when I didn't do it ( ? ) - Placebo ?  maybe...

If you take Call of duty for example, after driver update, next time you run the game you can't start playing till its done rebuilding shaders. It take about 2 minutes. In MSFS I simply don't see it doing it. But who knows...

NVidia have not specifically addressed MSFS in the drivers since the initial release back in August.  

My experience is that, after then initial driver release for any game, I have never seen any driver significantly affect on framerate after that.

It is just that we all live in hope for this magical solution that may give us an extra 10 or 20 % in frame rate - never going to happen! 

Unless MSFS is specifically addressed in the driver release notes, I won't keep updating mine every few weeks.

I didn’t see any issues with the drivers here, either.  The new release of the sim seemed to add a couple FPS as areas that I had been seeing in the mid 50’s were now low 60’s.  Not complaining!

I did have issues

I saw a lot of stuttering and a significant decrease in fps.

 I rolled back the driver using device manager

Things are better once again

 Odd how this affects some people and not others.
