September 21, 20223 yr For those who are holding back but want to try the studio driver fix, MSFS will run just fine with no difference in frame rate with the studio drivers You can always do a clean install of the game ready driver afterwards when it is released - there are numerous ways of doing this.I also expect the game ready drivers to have a version number below the studio driver (maybe 517.30) unless there are additional fixes added for other games.

I'll probably install this recent studio driver using the DDU clean install method. Exactly. I have used them in the past also. I just use whichever one comes out with the relevant fixes first (I use a lot of other software / games as well). I reckon absolutely nobody could tell in sim if they were using a studio or game ready driver without stepping out of the sim and checking the version number. Other things to consider... For some reason it has been reported that frame rates can be marginally higher with studio drivers - strange, but not really a significant increase. And as for the extra 'bloat' with studio drivers that some claim, it is nothing in comparison to the size of the hard disk or sim installation itself - it is likely to be just a few tens of megabytes and insignificant.

I acknowledge that Asobo needs to work on the clouds that look too dark with the weird shadows (ie. the volcanic ash clouds), but even in SU 9, I don't see those clouds very often anymore, and they are very infrequent. Absolutely... if anything, the only flight sim that might've done live weather clouds better than the latest MSFS is pre-SU5 MSFS 🙂 ... XP12 does an admirable job in improving upon vanilla XP11 when it comes to lighting, clouds, atmospherics, etc but not so much when compared to XP11 + add-ons, and definitely nowhere close to MSFS. Also the interaction of the aircraft with the weather/atmosphere/winds/turbulence/drafts is just more realistic and alive in MSFS. And ya, those soft minecraft-ish clouds/alien-structures defly ain't helping lol. In terms of lighting modelling/rendering, MSFS and its diffused lighting, reflection/shadows modelling and overall interplay and bouncing/scattering of light between sources and surfaces, etc is way better and goes a long way in how it most accurately presents a twin earth and its atmosphere/weather in our computers like no other consumer software that I know of... also the sun in MSFS doesn't look like nuclear explosions going off on earth near the horizon, or like a LED flashlight bulb at high noon 😆 Edited September 21, 20223 yr by lwt1971 Len 1980s: Sublogic FS II on C64 ---> 1990s: Flight Unlimited I/II, MSFS 95/98 ---> 2000s/2010s: FS/X, P3D, XP ---> 2020+: MSFS Current system: i9 13900K, RTX 4090, 64GB DDR5 4800 RAM, 4TB NVMe SSD
September 21, 20223 yr I agree that the XP12 weather graphics are not as realistic looking as those in MSFS but I was too busy trying to escape from a spin after testing the stalling behaviour in the 172. In the MSFS 172 you can enjoy the fluffy blurred cumulus as you gently mush down through the weather with the stick fully back. Not at all realistic. Still - looking forward to seeing what they've broken in SU10. My beta version is working very well so I hope the installation goes smoothly. Also downloaded the latest studio ready Nvidia driver but holding off on installing it in case they release the game ready driver later.

There is no extra “bloat” in studio drivers compared to “game ready” drivers. They are exactly the same and studio drivers fully support all games that were current on the date of the driver’s release. “Game Ready” drivers tend to have support for the very latest new game releases, but with the drawback that they can have bugs and instabilities, whereas studio divers are more throughly tested and debugged and tend to be more stable. Studio drivers normally have version numbers that are below the most current game ready driver. No new game ready driver has (yet) been released (since August), but when a new one drops, I expect it will be numbered slightly higher than the latest studio driver. In the case of MSFS, the specific DX12 fix we have been waiting for is already in the new studio driver. There is no need to wait for a game ready driver. Over the past 6 years, (covering P3D and MSFS), I have never used anything other than studio drivers and have always had good results.
