Sadly the issue affecting some of us with AMD cards when only using DX12 causes strange coloured tiles in the apron area's and taxiways, Reported during Beta is still there...hmmm Back to DX11 for me.

Edited September 21, 20223 yr by Car147

Just got it installed and now doing a test flight around Bergen Norway in the default Porter.  Just a few things I notice so far....

1 Ground textures seemed to have been stepped up a notch.  Sharper and clearer.  

2 Clouds look improved with more fidelity.

3 Definitely feel some wind gust unlike before.

4 Also notice a wave like affect on at lease some coast lines now.

Performance so far is indifferent on my system but then again MSFS has always ran good on my somewhat new computer.  Upper mid level prebuilt gaming system from Spring of 2021.  2070 video card.

Yah, that's a slight annoyance. There were some weird DEV mode issues with AMD's as well, so I had to return mine and get a 3080. Would have rather kept the 6900xt, the performance was better than the 3080 (in some cases).

why is this in the lower left corner of my screen and how do I hide it?  Note: it is about 1/8th this size.

Yeah the performance is exceptional, hopefully they fix it before too long. They are aware as i reported it again.

Can someone please advice what we need to do if we were in the Beta?

I see some people say we don't need to do anything and already have the latest version. If this is true, do we still need to leave the beta via the insiders hub or does that mess things up? If we don't leave the beta via the insiders hub will it not mess things up later? I vaguely remember Asobo gave a deadline to remove yourself from one of the previous beta's or else your install would become messed up. I checked the official forums and it is really not clear to me.

I get to 95% then it goes back to 89% in a loop.  What To do?

Running Avast!? If so, disable it.

Hmm, was on the beta, ran the sim and it just worked without downloading anything. Now I'm getting a 1.8 GB update when launching again. This is an update before the "Checking for updates" screen.

[Edit]: Just noticed it's now version 1.27.21

Sigh, they still havent fixed spinning AI when waiting.   I was hoping it just wasn't in the release note but alas...no.

Thanks but I just exited MSFS and then restarted and all went well.

I hope this gets fixed soon too. That‘s one of the more annoying small bugs. 

Dx12 or DX11 what do you guys think?

Would be irrelevant because Asobo would still need to activate the memory management….

The memory management driver feature is automatically enabled by the sim if you are in the new driver, in SU10. There is no additional action or patch required by the sim team.

Again, just to be 100% clear on this:

- If you are not on the new driver, the sim will not attempt to engage the DX12 driver memory management feature

- If you _are_ on the new driver, DX12 driver memory management will be enabled by the sim

DX 11 until the Nvidia Game Ready driver comes out.

Edit: It appears from what Matt Nischan is writing above, that MSFS will automatically enable the memory management feature in DX 12.

Not tried dx12 yet but will give it a go later. My thoughts are that you may need to install the new studio driver if you want dx12 to work well until the new game ready driver is available.
