Dlss is way better than FSR

Yes but FSR is platform agnostic, and supported by both NVIDIA and AMD hardware which will give benefit to a broader scope of users.

Supported Graphics cards for AMD FSR:

• AMD Radeon™ 6000 Series
  AMD Radeon™ 6000M Series
  AMD Radeon™ 5000 Series
  AMD Radeon™ 5000M Series
  AMD Radeon™ VII Graphics
  AMD Radeon™ RX Vega Series
  AMD Radeon™ 600 Series
  AMD Radeon™ RX 500 Series
  AMD Radeon™ RX 480/470/460 Graphics
  AMD Ryzen™ Desktop Processors with AMD Radeon™ Graphics
  AMD Ryzen™ Mobile Processors with Radeon™ Graphics
  NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 30 Series
  NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 20 Series
  NVIDIA® GeForce® 16 Series
  NVIDIA® GeForce® 10 Series

Make sure to vote here. In an older Q&A they dismissed it as a worse upscaling solution to their TAAU, when in fact it looks about as good, or even better in some cases, and with a much lower performance overhead.

Native 4K

TAAU 1520p to 4K

FSR 1520p to 4K

Especially when it comes to the readability of glass cockpits, FSR has the distinct advantage.

I can't watch right now. Which airports are the 4 new hand crafted ones with the Australia World Update?

Being an Aussie im really hyped up for Syd and other places coming with photogrammetry, but what im really impressed with is the prop simulation they showed.

Its good to see a bunch of fellow simmers so positive. (Sorry, the correct word is ‘excited’ in neumannish). 

So there is a need for a dissenting opinion 😇.  The saying goes as  ‘give them the benefit of the doubt’. I don’t anymore. They have exhausted their credit with me. I believe what I will see on my screen, not what they say. You have to give them that, they know how to maintain the interest up. Thats in the delivering they have problems.

Speaking of the new features of aerodynamics. I am still waiting the up-and downdrafts along slopes they promised us before release (and which were truly innovative) and I do not see anymore the turbulences over relief which have been progressively toned down to extinction since SU 7. But now its all about wake turbulences and condensation and props…

But lets be positive though, the Iberian Peninsula is indeed a good news.

Man it only took a few posts before someone started complaining about how terrible the sim is. Some things never change. 

It is awful, hey  ? People not thinking all alike !

Up/downdrafts along slopes are still there FYI. Just try it with free GotFriends Discus 2 and you will see yourself. So please do not spread false info

Great news, great post (thanks for the summary @ChaoticBeauty!). I am already extremely happy with MSFS as it is. I could die a happy man as it is now: I seriously never expected to see such an awesome flightsim sim in my lifetime. Not a flight goes by without thinking 'I could cry now if I want to because it's sooooooooooo beautiful'. I am still surprised by what I experience on a daily basis. it's a dream come true. Well, and so on. 😉 Andall this great and positive news makes it only better. Can't wait for what's coming!

And I feel really, really sorry for all those people who fail to see what they've got right now... All the moaning and bashing... seriously... I don't get it. But luckily I don't have to get it. I'll live happily ever after in my wonderful MSFS-paradise. 😉

I almost only fly low in mountainous and hilly  areas and I’ve never seen my aicraft rise or sink as they should, where they should . Now if you see the drafts, the power to you. Imagination is a simulation main engine after all.

[Skymaster9999 6]

How long do you think you can stay airborne in that glider without slope updrafts man? It works quite realistically, maybe a little too much

Updrafts and downdrafts are modeled over ridges in MSFS, it's part of the FS Academy VFR lessons (and I have experienced the updrafts and downdrafts over ridges when I completed the FS Academy lesson below):

Perhaps you are referring to thermals around mountains.  I don't think thermals are modelled yet, although I think thermals are on the list of tasks Asobo plans to do.

You think Xbox would be the biggest benefactor to upscaling technologies. FSR would allow the Xbox to keep up as PC hardware and the sim advances.

There are games that implement both technologies. Hopefully we get both at some stage.

Too funny: 3 posts in, the negativity starts.

Please, do kindly direct me to the many Q& As and updates that the "other sims" have provided us over the years.

Maybe it will be part of the native sail plane support which comes in fall/atumn?
