JETPETER2

That is my advice after months of tweaking. Plain and simple, default, no tweaks to NCP. Not even changing optimzed to prefer maximum performance does anything!!! Many gaming articles mention that can hinder a computer. My FS2020 just runs the smoothest and less stuttery than ever on default... it is noticable. Now I am on a ASUS ROG 703 Chimera laptop if that is any help, but I can run on ULTRA no issues on default FS2020 aircraft and scenery at 30-50 FPS. I always have. But it is an i9 beast for a laptop....

certainly didn't make fs2020 any less smooth ... and keep all settings on default on nvidia control panel by the way 

until this product can get frame rates up to normal I won't reinstall it ... after that, maybe it's a go

i fly jets for a living (Falcon 2000) and let me tell you, and all the naysayers out there, FS2020 is my sim now.... no further explanation!!!! and I was a die hard XP11 fan for years

amazing how you all don't actually think they'll do anything to help! I am disgusted how ungrateful this community is actually, when every two weeks or so there is an update ... updates made to intentionally ruin the sim? not on your life! watch the youtube interviews, developer chats why don't you? See for yourself..the 3 man team is fantastic.... very genuine .... but yet still, "everybody" complains..... Now, everybody loves X-plane, yet when XP11 was the "only" sim the last few years, everybody was like "Austin won't fix it, Austin doesn't care" blah blah blah

you speak in this weird "quid" language all the time, what are you a boat captain from Jaws?

aerosoft stuff created stutters with all FS versions.... so I will wait to see what others say first before spending a penny

its the trim clacker

Hey I got about 200-300 hours in real Arrows... this thing, looks fantastic and sounds "pretty good" but FS2020 doesn't have a very flexible sound system - however GA sounds better than the jets which can't do engine sounds properly at all as I see it.

but for this one it's nice, fun, flies good and allows some cool GA flying... fairly well done. Speed, acceleration, performance is close to the real thing. FPS is fantastic too.

To me, a great add-on so far.... 

great topic, I flew to hawaii, took the Icon to a resort hotel and the water, parked and "walked" up to a deck to listen and hear the sounds of the local area... it's truly a real experience

don't think so since I can run FBW at 50 .... and this 737 at 22 ... it's poor programming, you don't see much of my posts how phenomenal FS2020 runs on a laptop do you? I think most just accept poor performance

i am suprised nobody complains of the aweful performance (frame rate is less than default 787 on my machine) ..... 

the frame rates on this thing are terrible... about equal to 787 but jerkier... they should fix that for sure, but nobody has noticed this here for some reason? I get 50 in the FBW a320 and 35 in this 737 ... come on now

the 787 flies way better than when first released! You can take some nice flights in it... and it looks perfect. Useable, and good looking.... needs a FBW team to hit it up for sure, but I do enjoy the 787 and 748 for that matter

I got the plane , happy to support despite the aweful external and cockpit graphics, poor sound quality etc... but it definately is a hit on frame rate, jerkier and less than the latest FBW mod, so as of now, it's a FAILURE .... "I am out" as they say on Shark Tank, but perhaps a mod will hit soon fixing it up.... so for $23 I don't feel too cheated

just run everything on ultra and stutters may reduce ! Yes the opposite of what you think however on my laptop ... I was getting a somewhat stuttery 60FPS on default very high but when going to default ULTRA my FR may have gone to 30-45 but it is way smoother!!! try it (1080 asus laptop)

I think it is, after extensive testing, on my ASUS G703GI laptop (i9 geforce 1080) it just seems like everything runs so much smoother, less jitter, less stutter, etc... I am not imagining this either... my framerates in GA may only be 30-35 virtual cockpit most areas vs 50 + on default very high, but it is smoother, and looks much better it's noticeable.... 

SEA in the A320 will bring me to only 17FPS which is a no go... but at PHX I got about 27 barreling down the runway on ULTRA default... not bad at all .. on a laptop which most claim nobody can use (wrong wrong wrong)..

opinions? Ultra is smoooootttthhheerrrr

I know plenty of guys that fly Airbus'es ... they can hand fly them all they want just fine it's a personal decision.... autopilots can fly us to minimums far better and rock steady than the human hand ... and most of the time our "get home itus" interfears with us wanting to hand fly all approaches.... when celings are above minimums, I hand fly the ILS.... for fun! Gotta be home, then it's an autopilot landing! 

all these comments about it being a game and how experienced simmers don't like it or find it real , gimme a break! There's no more real simmer than me nor with more experience (I was Lead Design on Flight Unlimited III, and have 10,000 hours now flying corporate jets for a job) . and I love this new FS2020. Now, granted I fly in real ATC daily, deal with systems on board, fly FMSs all day... so yeah, In FS2020 I just enjoy the beauty, graphics, aircraft but do not do a lot of "fiddling" or systems stuff nor FMS... so I do fly it very simplicity. However for what it is worth, it's got the best feeling of sitting in a cockpit, perspective, graphics etc... and pretty good sounds although that's subjective to me..... still I have given up on my beloved XP11, with all the add-ons I bought, because this 2020 is just much darn fun or spectacular to give up on..... for me it's the BEST sim. 

Aerosoft never comments on framerates or performance you notice? I'd expect 15 to 20 fps tops with stutters thrown in as a bonus

explains maybe my sudden FBW a320 flight today when bam, the sim locked up completely.... very aggravating

the so called porthole views listed in cameras.cfg of each airliner is the key... but no clue anyone has tried repositioning the viewpoint better with these parameters

use the FPS FIX on nexus mods

You can also use it for complete autopilot controls too ! Assign commands to the buttons / levers it works great along with a yoke 

That’s why my Asus i9 ROG laptop with only 1080 does so well ! I9 is it
