February 14, 20242 yr Sounds promising. I'll wait for the live system but this all sounds encouraging.

These SU15 improvements and then SU16, the amazing Fenix Block 2 update, the coming birds like PMDG 777, iniBuilds A350/A380, FBW A380, and aircraft devs as a whole really getting going on their 2nd/3rd/etc tries and getting more experienced on developing for the platform, etc etc.. MSFS 2020 does indeed seems to be settling itself in a great place prior to MSFS 2024 dropping and shaking up the world again 🙂 ... but it will be an easier transition to 2024 for add-ons devs I think as opposed to learning everything anew as they had to with v2020. Exciting times indeed.

Really more smooth even if I crank up the Settings. TLOD 300 and great stability, FPS and Smoothnes even on ground while taxiing. NOTE: This is in VR with Varjo Aero and PPD set to 37 (which is really a lots of pixels) Edited February 14, 20242 yr by mpo910 Regards, Marcus P.

February 14, 20242 yr Well I got a low end I7 7 series with a 1070 and yes….much smoother than before. Tested the 747 and noticeably improved.

What's interesting is that some users have reported the return of the DX12-related "broken ground textures at airports"-issue. I recall that this was a huge deal in SU10, with the new memory improvements - and what lead to a significant nerfing of the initial excellent performance. Also, albeit somewhat unrelated, I read a comment by Matt Nischan over on the official forums: Quote As explained by Seb in the Dev Q&A, the new memory management improvements specific to SU15 have the effect of reducing the CPU load while things are allocated, as a stark example (though allocations are happening constantly), when loading or swapping out scenery objects, say, on an approach when different LODs start to come into the view area. This has the effect of making the frame times better and stutters potentially much fewer, but the total memory load is not necessarily impacted by this kind of change. The beta install took forever, but I'm currently airbourne over Sydney in the RV-14. Initial impressions is like others have mentioned: smooth!! This is with all settings ultra, DX12, TLOD400 OLOD200 & supersampled resolution of 6144x3240. CPU & GPU utilization seems similar to pre-beta (CPU 90-100% and GPU around 20% on my system). EDIT: Forgot to mention - fps seems about the same as before - but the sim does seem more fluid. These things can be subjective of course!

February 14, 20242 yr Remembering we (some) got a performance reduction with SU14, I'm therefore hoping we're at least back to pre-SU14 levels, obviously better still would be great.

February 14, 20242 yr Okay, all these joyous reports have me tempted to dive into another beta but....my Xbox Insider app needs updating, sigh. It's....it's....doing....something..... Jeez, just how clunky can you make something? Edited February 14, 20242 yr by DD_Arthur
