Was this meant to be announced on the 1st April ?

Many thanks for the quick reply - yes definitely genuine - now downloaded and installed fine. Just a small suggestion, you might want to consider wrapping the installer in a zip file - Google Chrome point blank refused to download it - Microsoft Edge downloaded ok but gave multiple warnings.

I purchased the RXP GTN750 through F1 in 2018. Decided to reinstall today and downloaded the installer via the F1 purchase agent - but the version I received has no option to install into v5. Any suggestions ?

I have yet to find a single positive review of the 11-900 series of cpu's. The common criticisms are; Retrograde step from i10-900 Overpriced Very high power consumption Also noted that this is an end of line cpu socket - Alder Lake will use a different socket and may be released later this year.

You do not need a supercomputer or a fibre connection to run MSFS well I have just put together a back-up rig with an i7-7700K + GTX 970 + 16GB RAM - and that drives a 24" 1080p monitor over a decidedly dodgy internet connection. Great graphics, stable 30 fps frame rate - works well.

Ingame 9.09GiB for me

I wouldn't be surprised to see an interim hotfix - World Update 3 really messed up taxiway lighting in pretty much every addon airport and a number of MS airports from World Update 2.

There are only 2 plugins I know of https://github.com/Touch-Portal-MSFS/MSFSTouchPortalPlugin https://github.com/IslandJohn/StreamDeckFSUIPC Not sure if one of these is the one you want

Thank you - that worked perfectly. A vey useful set of gauges to use as templates.

I have upgraded to the new v2.03 of the software and installed the SD plugin - all seems to be fine and the various buttons show up. However the sample profile "lorby_export.streamdeckprofile" is refusing to install, any suggestions ?

nVidia keeps the best silicon for their own products - the AIBs get a range of qualities for their various SKUs nVidia's own designs don't really overclock that well, if at all. The AIB boards tend to have (not always) better cooling and can overclock more as they also bump the power draw. However, look at the prices and compare - can you justify a $250 premium for a possible 3-5% boost.

The stutters are caused by FS2020' implementation of simconnect. This is proving to be an issue with multiple 3rd party apps, including I believe the FSUIPC Beta. Spad.next' main value is that it greatly improves the way in which the Saitek (now Logitech) flight panels work.

I may have to buy through steam if my patience runs out. Went to preorder from MS only to find my store security code referred to a dead email account. Updated to a new code but now have to wait 30 days for it to come into effect - never come across this before and there seems to be no way round it.

Thank you Microsoft for a very nice surprise birthday present 🤩
