Settings in the UserCfg.

[Sabinede 4]

What does the UserCFG do?

Among other things, the settings made under "Graphics" are saved here.

Further settings are fixed.

 

Where can I find the UserCFG?

😄 \ Users \ User \ AppData \ Local \ Packages \ Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe \ LocalCache \ UserCfg.opt

 

The following changes are useful.

Shadows

MaxSliceCount 4

Size 4096

Produces sharp-edged shadows in the aircraft

 

terrain

LoDFactor 2.000000

This appears to load a different algorithm for the mesh.

Example:

Coastline in GB Cornwall, originally steeply sloping up to 90 degrees, in FS 2020 30 to 50 degrees without change. The photo wallpaper is distorted, many elements do not fit.

With the new setting coastline up to 90 degrees steep. Everything OK.

This new attitude can be seen particularly well in Cap Town.

 

Note:

No frame rate degradation was noticed.

I still have to test further changes to the UserCfg.

Interesting.

Do these settings revert if you make in game settings changes and restart ?

Just right click properties and tick read only once you save the cfg, Also in the PostProcess line Sharpen 1 to 0, It makes the clouds look crisp.

I have occasionally done that.

The only issue then is any in game setting changes you make do not stick when you restart the game 😄
