Share the word. There are many like me who initially blamed a beta build Phil Leaven i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"
April 25Apr 25 Something I didn't see mentioned in the patch notes for any of the SU5 updates, they fixed the doors on the 747-8F, and even the the left upper deck cargo door opens now. The doors on the Pax variant still won't open though. Maybe that will be pushed in the final update/release. Edited April 25Apr 25 by Tuskin38
April 25Apr 25 I've been flitting between SU4 and the SU5 beta since it became live because of a rogue addon which, at last I found. Now I've got the beta working, to be honest, I can't see much difference? In both the performance is simply astonishing. With either I have to have Texture Resolution set to High rather than Ultra to avoid the GPU message. Wish I could rid of that massage because the sim runs fine on Ultra.

The Nvidia app can set the graphics settings for your game, such that when you change the graphics settings inside your game, and you exit the game and reload it, any graphics settings changes you made will be overwritten by the Nvidia app. i5-12400, RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB RAM
