Performance tip

No sure if everyone remembered to change the microsoft flight simulator 2020 .EXE file back to disable full screen optimization? Sim update 7 turned it on for me. After I switched it off much better performance. Just a reminder for people that may be having problem after update. 

 

Thanks

Anthony

Then there is no need to do anything.  The OP was detailing how turning this "off" works better after the patch.  Turning it "on" has been around a while as a performance benefit.

I'm just curious if some find allowing full screen optimization on leads to lower FPS, or more CTDs, or stutters, or what?

I think you have to tick the box to 'Disable' so it is on by default.

Having full screen optimization on, ie not checked in the properties really hurt my performance after the update. Just worth a try if it doesn't help you can switch it back no problem.

Oh, ok. I'm gonna try with the box checked to see if I notice any difference. Thanks.

in what sense did your performance suffer? Stutters, low FPS, etc? How did it help? I'll try it for myself, but just curious about your experience.
