February 19, 20251 yr Speaking of amazing graphics... I decided to let the Longitude crash into the mountains behind Santa Barbara CA as BATC decided to send me, in a Longitude, to Rwy15L at KSBA. I wanted to see the outcome of the crash there and I was so struck by the incredible detail in all of the vegetation around the plane crash. The potential issue is this: I'll never see this kind of detail in my use of the sim. So....is all of this detail being processed, even though in effect it's not really being accessed? If so, what sliders can be dialed back to recoup some of this processing cost without noticing loss of areas that indeed will matter? I mean, even GA flight don't get you down into the ground where you can see this LOD.

February 19, 20251 yr I positioned the external camera on the ground once, and was amazed to see individual blades of grass. It's pretty impressive. I think dialing back various sliders can lower the level of detail and recapture some performance, but I haven't needed to do that. (Locked at 60 FPS.) The performance drops that I see seem to be related to streaming, not related to the cost of objects in VRAM. As is the case with everything flight sim, YMMV.

As you get closer and closer, it loads in more and more detailed scenery. If they were loading that level of detail for everything you can see from 5000 ft or whatever, you would likely get 1-3 fps. The various LOD sliders kinda set a maximum level, but the sim can and will drop LODs below that as needed. All this happens more or less seamlessly. If you are happy with your performance (and you have a high-end system, I can't imagine you aren't getting 4k 60fps), don't worry about it. 9800X3d, 4090, 64 GB DDR5 6000 RAM, 4 TB NVME (2x2), 4K Ultra + Framegen

What I love about these videos with all these people who can afford top end PCs, is that I may not be able to have these graphics with my current PC. But I know that in a few years, when new graphics cards and new CPUs come out, and they are just as powerful as the hardware used for the OP's video's, they will be much cheaper in a few years (ie. NVidia 6070 in a few years could be as powerful as the NVidia 5090 now, but the NVidia 6070 will be much cheaper when it comes out). MSFS 2024 just has to show us what is possible with today's high end PC. And in time, almost all of us will be able to produce the same graphics in the future, when new hardware comes out that is equal in power to the top end hardware today, but at a much cheaper price. Yes, MSFS 2024 has some bugs, especially with career mode. But those bugs will be fixed. And you can see how the MSFS team is constantly pushing all areas of flight simulation, from graphics, to physics, to the atmosphere, etc. Edited February 19, 20251 yr by abrams_tank i5-12400, RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB RAM
February 19, 20251 yr Great video! Looking at the landing, I wish the PAPI's were a bit more emissive. If Asobo have no appetite to change them (they were the same in 2020) it is a shame we cant tweak them ourselves like we used to be able to in FSX / P3D. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

February 19, 20251 yr Very nice, and I see he’s utilising lossless scaling to achieve 200FPS. Now’s that’s smooth.
February 19, 20251 yr I don't want to sound critical here, but......couldn't you get almost exactly the same level of detail/lighting/immersion in MSFS 2020? If not, can someone enlighten me as to what is different in that video compared to MSFS 2020? I am genuinely curious.

Light also passes through the clouds differently in MSFS 2024. The lighting is also improved in MSFS 2024. Edited February 19, 20251 yr by abrams_tank i5-12400, RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB RAM

I thought this when I saw the first MSFS , but bought it anyway not expecting it to look anything like the videos I was seeing, for me with my GTX1070. Then found, with just a RAM upgrade, I could run it on full ultra settings, albeit at 1080p resolution. I've more recently upgraded my GPU to a RTX4070 Super. The only real difference is I can now run it in native 4K, so it looks better in that regards. I can also run it in VR with my Quest 3 (main reason I upgraded). I'm looking forward to MSFS 2024. As it's properly developed for modern multi-threaded hardware, I probably could have got away with my GTX1070 (the devs did say, if you can run 2020 on your current hardware, you can definitely run 2024).

Although, as Seb said a long time ago, you only need 30FPS for smoothness, so long as it's a stable 30. My locked 30FPS looks perfectly smooth to me.
