I was getting over 700fps and it was taxing my 3090 at 100% at 60c temp.  I actually had to restart the download after changing the nvidia control panel settings to vertical sync.  Now the splash screen is locked at 60fps 13% at 47c temp.  I would have changed my refresh to 30 but I wanted to play some games in the mean time at 60 🙂  maybe something they can change in the future.

How does one lock the splash screen to 60fps?

I wonder why they don't change the update process. Instead of making everyone update at once, when they sign on, they should give users a few days, before making the update mandatory. Then everyone won't try and update at the same time overloading the servers. Similar to how windows 10 lets you delay an update for 7 days, or whatever it is. 

Let me put a big caveat on this that I do knot have any direct knowledge of the MSFS server side and network protocol, so this is me speaking as "experienced developer", not "MSFS development partner".   But it can be a lot more difficult in general to run multiple versions of a fully-online game than it is for an OS that only runs locally.   If you make any changes in network protocol, or if there are other incompatibilities between versions, you need to either run separate server farms, which eats extra resources and takes time to set up, or you need to build a compat layer into new versions of the game in addition to all the other stuff you're doing, which is development time you could be spending on something else.

Even if it's awkward and inconvenient, it's often easier and more effective to force everyone through an upgrade gate if you're only planning on having a split userbase for a short period of time.

Until the update screen is randomly gone and you have to start at 0 like I am. This time I'm recording the update process

You need to update it through the Windows Store.
