December 11, 20223 yr I just never went back to XP or P3D. I tried XP12 and payed for it, used about 15 minutes then went back to FS2020. Happy since day one. I never had any big problems. And now with solid multi screen I am super happy. I deleted all other sims after about 6 months of no use. MSFS rules, in my book at least. Flight model included and now Helis as well.😄 Com GA Pilot, Retired • FS2020 • FS2024 • Xplane 12 • Current Machine: MSI B760 GAMING PLUS WIFI• Gaming Desktop Motherboard Intel B760 Chipset • Intel Core i7 (14th Gen) i7-14700 3.40 GHz Processor 64GB RAM • 2 / M.2 SSD 1TB • MSI NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER
December 11, 20223 yr I have a computer that is almost eight years-old, and I never got the butter smooth performance from any sim that I'm currently getting with MSFS (and at very high settings). I just flew from KLAX (Los Angeles) over Palm Springs, and then back again to land at KLAX. The scenery was super dense because of the huge population in Los Angeles. But I never experienced a single stutter. The trip was both breathtaking and photorealistic in detail. I'd defy the average person to even realize he wasn't looking at an actual video of real-world flight over the actual area in California. And I haven't even mentioned the new avionics in the just-released beta, which make several of the default planes as high quality in their flight instrumentation as those from PMDG. If you're not in the beta, you're in for a very pleasant surprise shortly after New Year. Look forward to it. You won't be disappointed.

December 11, 20223 yr I want to point out that often it is said that the strength of MSFS is its "pretty" scenery, but for me it was also the performance and stability of the platform. It is remarkable the range of computer hardware that it works reasonably well and reliably on, for me this is much more of a strengthen and a "selling point" than scenery. I am so happy to be free of FSX and P3D and the virtually endless search for good-enough hardware and effective tweaks. I have not thought about an affinity mask since 20 August 2020! MSFS 2024.

December 11, 20223 yr It is testimony to the efficient coding of MSFS that you get far better performance than other sims while running far more detailed scenery. You truly have the best of both worlds.

And if you have an NVidia 4000 series card and you turn on frame generation, MSFS leaves the competition in the dust for performance. A very good job by the MSFS team.

You truly have the best of both worlds. Like I always keep saying, ever since May 2022 and especially now after the 40th anniv release and what's coming in Jan 2023 and onwards, MSFS for me is the have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too sim :) Accurate world & lighting representation/visuals: check Accurate weather and atmospheric airflow modelling: check Good performance for mid-range and above PC systems: check Deep avionics & systems (core platform support/enablement, and then implementation of in some default and 3rd party aircraft): check Accurate flight models (core platform support/enablement, and then implementation of in some default and 3rd party aircraft): check Aerodynamics engine that's broad enough to support all types of aircraft including helis/gliders: check Passionate and engaged/approachable dev team, great transparency, frequency of updates, free content & updates, etc etc: check Are there areas that could be improved?, absolutely... but overall I feel compared to 2021 and early 2022, things are in a much better place now... and it's really good to see MS/Asbo reaping financial success from the platform & product so far, and all the 3rd party devs' buy-in with some of them going all-in for MSFS only, as that only means good things for us in 2023 and beyond (as already evidenced by their 2023 roadmap revealed so far including the amazing AAU1 free content/update already in beta!).
