To steal an American phrase, I think I might be 'pumped' about this. I hope I haven't used the phrase incorrectly. I hope it isn't anything rude! you're good lol

Xbox is DirectX 12 only, so we're getting DX12 for PC, including all the optimisations for Xbox they've been talking about for months in the dev Q&A live sessions. They said they're not going to maintain two separate branches for PC and Xbox, so an update with lots of performance improvements is coming to PC soon. Hopefully around the release date for Xbox, but I wouldn't be suprised if the DX12 release for PC is slightly out of sync with the Xbox release due to additional beta testing. I wonder how many simmers will have to upgrade GPUs when DX12 lands.
June 13, 20214 yr Xbox will be a game changer for the majority of users. No more spending thousands to squeeze out a few FPS, so glad I didn't spend a ton of money on a flight sim PC.

In the last update, they said they were going to choose more people for beta testing an update that would bring huge performance but no new content and that should be SU5

Apart from extra content (world updates etc.) I expect the bug fixes and feature updates will gradually become less and less over the coming months, as they get on top of things.

June 13, 20214 yr The other question I have is will their be a performance difference between the S and X consoles? From what I recall the S is not 4K and has less has less CPU performance?

I think we should start a 'go fund me' page to buy CB a new GPU, for services rendered and all that. Even better, I think for all of the positive publicity, Asobo should send CB a free issue 3080Ti Edited June 13, 20214 yr by bobcat999 Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).
