August 11, 20214 yr Hey, does AMD have Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling? where? http://youtube.com/c/Greazer
August 11, 20214 yr I tried Game Mode on/off, HAGS on/off (don't forget to reboot) and installed the new driver. There was no noticeable difference between all of them, neither w.r.t. fps nor fluidity, on my system. This is insofer different from previous results where HAGS incurred quite an fps hit plus stuttering formerly. I'll stay with the new driver but leave HAGS and Game Mode off for now.

That works with out change any permission etc I have a standard MSFS MS store install and found two locations with flightsimulator.exe: C:\...\...\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe C:\...\...\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps and both show a file size of zero for flightsimulator.exe ?? Could that be because the exe file is encrypted? And the system will not let me add either location to the 'high performance list'. Al Edited August 12, 20214 yr by ark
August 12, 20214 yr Same here, I flew a test flight using the previous Win 10 from June with game mode OFF. Then downloaded the new 21H1 and flew with game mode ON and game mode OFF. If anything the old version of windows was 1 or 2 fps faster. New Windows and turning game mode ON or OFF did nothing for FPS. Didn't hurt though. But I was reminded how easy and nice the Spitfire Warbird from Flying Iron flies!

August 12, 20214 yr Are we talking about the Graphics Performance Preference in the Graphics Settings Page? I had the option to select Microsoft Store App and then select Microsoft Flight Simulator. No problem. I have MSFS installed to a E:\ drive SSD but I didn't have to search for it, just select the Store App. BTW, I selected Desktop App to add P3D. No issues.
