Just Coming Back To MSFS

[JughedJones 220]

I gave it up for a while.  I got into a couple other pastimes, enjoyed other games and sims, and when you don't practice your flying very much it seems to freak you out a little about jumping back in.

I have to say, I haven't flown anything since probably February of last year and HOLY word not allowed!  The sim looks, runs, and performs so much better!  

I took a little while to sit down with my favorite youtube channels to brush up on what I forgot and absolutely GREASED a landing into Vancouver (CYVR) with all the settings maxed and hitting over 100 FPS the whole time. 

 

It's an absolute joy. I forgot how calming and rewarding this pastime is. Great job to ASOBO.  Great job to Fenix. Man I'm happy!

Couldn't agree more. 👍

Going back to KPDX...  I'll let you all know how it goes.  

 

[JughedJones 220]

Welp...  

 

Not well.  I'm pretty sure most people would have survived, but...  

 

Lol..  I have more practice to do.   I seem to remember if you have the KPDX after market airport installed, the ILS glideslopes get a little... mmm bad. 

 

That's what I'm going with though!  I had a lot of fun tonight regardless if 150 or so people have at minimum concussions or at worst not alive.

I assume you are using frame generation?  Imagine getting over 100 FPS in a flight simulator back in the day with all the add-ons loaded in, but this is possible with MSFS now at the level of graphics we are getting in MSFS 😁.

You may get even better FPS with SU 15.  Supposedly, Working Title has optimized the glass cockpit avionics to eek out a few more frames. Supposedly, the optimization that Working Title did with glass cockpit avionics should reduce stuttering at larger airports, and make the FPS smoother.  I guess we will see when SU 15 is released.

In addition to glass instruments optimizations by WT (which will help with aircraft like the 787/747/etc), Asobo have also optimized core sim memory usage in SU15 to the tune 100x-200x improvements which then translates to few FPS increase and more importantly smoothness and ridding of intermittent stutters apparently.
