Having been type rated on the A320/321 for several years but still amazed how sophisticated and gloriousness the A350 is everytime I'm on positioning flight. Anyway, watching the stream, I noticed the most unique sound ever on the A350 not quite on par, must be tuned much more, the nose gear sound. It's unbelievably loud and shaking during takeoff and landing if you on center of the runway. Or maybe because of the stream quality.

Thank you, Even with LOD 50-80 my FPS pretty much the same, only go up couple fps. Hopefully I'm missing something! Cheers.

Hello, I have been digging on this subject for about a month. First time asking before I settle the purchase. My current computer is 13700k, 32GB DDR4 with AMD 7900XT. Using 1440p ultrawide. I balance my settings with TAA and high/ultra/medium, LOD 100...etc... For most of the time, it handles MSFS2020 beautifully and smoothly way above 40FPS on ground and in the air . Sitting at major hub like KSFO, KLAX, KJFK, KEWR, EGLL, EDDF, VHHH, WSSS,...(payware addons, no AI traffic) it struggles ~30FPS and below with PMDG/Fenix. For me it's unplayable, tried to lower to Medium settings with LOD 50 but only increase couple fps. Using dev mode + show FPS of course limited by mainthread. Using rivatuner and crosscheck I can see the graphic card still have plenty of room for further settings. Searching on the Internet with multiples (a lot) of reviews and topics, some says 7800X3D going to give much better FPS, some shows it only increase a few. If moving to 7800X3D I'm going to invest ~200$ more. What is your opinion on this investment? Rumors MSFS2024 will be more optimized for multicore, Intel going to release new CPUs (probably gonna cost quite a bit) and AMD also releasing new X3D CPUs (anything new from AMD I'm going to skip for about a year before buying). Thanks and happy flights everyone!

Sorry to bring this topic back up but thank you so much, it fixed my problem! I got stuck at 6% for about 10 minutes before it continues to load, so it was because of avast, not because my old computer.

IMO, SSD for windows is a must! So don't cancel that option.

Very sad to hear this...

It's a long post but I hope someone could help me with this. Thanks!

In the beginning days testing my computer with FSX, I got so bad performance that I decided to spend some money into the new hardwares (new CPU and VGA). However with the help from a friend I got to know about tweaking the fsx.cfg and wow, it DOES boost the performance that I managed to run quite smooth PMDG 777/Aerosoft Airbus with some detailed airports. Of course settings only at dense and normal. Now I'm thinking about not buying new computer parts and use those money into some scenery addons. After days of reading topics and googling, I'm going for Fsglobal Ultimate and FTX Global. From what I've read these 2 shouldn't impact my fps much? So I'm done for mesh and ground texture. How about FTX Vector vs UTX? Topics dicussion between these 2 mainly from last 1 or 2 years in the early stage of Vector so there are many bugs, don't know about how is it now. Just thinking that because I use FTXglobal, using Vector should work better? No price talking here of course Vector is much cheaper comparing to all UTX packages. Last thing I want to ask is the X series of cities from Aerosoft, Aerosoft Manhatan X. What are the differences between these and the FTX Vector/UTX? Do all of them work well together and harm significantly the performance? I'm the kind of person that despite flying 99% IFR high altitude, I can sit for hours on the computer looking at the ground when crusing, let autoland do its job and panning around in spot view looking at the city below... Thanks for helping me and sorry for my bad English BTW, my specs i5 3570k@4Ghz, 8GB ram, Nvidia GTS450 (yeah, I know, horrible). With those new addons I think I should get 750Ti or 660Ti, should help me load the texture better. Buy 2nd also save some more money into the addons.

Yeah unlucky that I have to do a little "trick" to get the Vsync on. Thanks to Glynn everything works like a charm now.

Thank you so much! Works perfectly! After hours of googling, I found out my problem called "flickering horizontal lines". Some other people had the same trouble.

Thanks, I gave it a try and it didn't work. It happens both in full screen and windowed mode. Only when my Win7 is in basic themes, in aero themes the browser functions normal. Thanks I tried but still no luck. Wait, after doing this AND set vsync ON in Nvidia Inspector. It works in full screen mode. But how about windowed mode since I use windowed most of the time.

It looks very similar to what happen when scrolling up and down the website with Win7 basic themes, of course when running FSX win7 changes to basic themes but I don't know if both of these are related. Because my English isn't good so I don't know how to explain the problem. All I can tell is that it isn't smooth. My FSX is a fresh new one will Acceleration package, just installed it. I don't know how to mod or config the fsx.cfg, most settings in FSX are default. I'm brand new to this game, moved from Fs9. Is there a way to solve this? Thanks all!

GTX670 is way better than 760. The new 760 only can compare with the 660Ti (which loose the 670 quite a lot). In my country 660Ti price is quite the same as 760 so getting a 760 will be better. But the GTX670 price is wayy higher.

My GTX560Ti almost out of warranty so I sold it (yeah, out of warranty = less money and hard to sell) and look for a better one. From what I know the 650Ti is not as powerful as 560Ti. The 660Ti and the new GTX760 is faster and more powerful. I'm changing to FSX now so it will be my main sim. Should I get the 660Ti / 760? Does the difference noticeable (comparing to GTX560Ti)? When I use my GTX560Ti, my system didn't handle well FSX. I don't know if it's the CPU or the VGA that needs upgrading. Thanks all!

Yeah that's their old version which is their legacy version. They already warned everyone that there will be a newer version coming soon. The newer version which just released is a completely new one and had to buy seperate from the old one.
