I see recommendations for size of RAM (eg 32Gb for MSFS2024), but ram speed is never mentioned. Would say 32Gb of 2133 work ok or should the ram have a faster speed?

Thanks. Intuition didn't work for me here. BTW how do I backup these profiles as well as camera views I create inside the cockpit for different view of the instruments (using say the numpad) or are they preserved and not overwritten by updates and/or the possibility of having to reinstall? Hooley Dooley 2024 has a function to export/import individual profiles. Yippee

Thanks Adam? All I need now is to find COCKPIT/EXTERNAL VIEW MODE

Thanks, I would never have thought to look in the COCKPIT section HOWEVER when I looked I could not find EXTERNAL VIEW MODE. Would you explain please and/or a screen shot. Also is there a method to 'deassign' and incorrecty assigned action? Thanks

I have managed to create a new profile for my joystick and assigned buttons to my preferences. However I can't work out how to assign one button which will act as a toggle between external camera view and cockpit (pilot) camera view. I was able to do this in 2020. There are so many 'actions' to choose from but I can't find ones which will do as I want. I notice that under cameras there are subsections for cockpit and external. Can anyone advise which action to assign as all the ones I have tried don't work. I assumed that I need to assign 'toggle cockpit pilot' and 'toggle external' but it won't work Thanks

Firstly I don't get the warning (vram) in 2020 with the same airport and scenery (my creation at CAM9) and I didn't get the warning until after the su6 upgrade in 2024. From what I have been reading the warning message is more annoying than factual and there is something at flightsim.to (already mentioned above by another person) which what installed gets rid of the message. HOWEVER the instructions seem to be for the STEAM edition and I have the shop edition which has a different file structure. I will try the other one mentioned above which has a simple installation Oh and yes as others have suggested in another forum and/or thread, I have decided to look for an RTX 2080 Ti OC11gb graphics card. Also replacing 16Gb DDR4 3200 with 32Gb. Just wondering if DDR4 3200 CL16 would be noticeable compared to DDR4 3200 CL18 (lower CL)

thanks I haven't got a new graphics card. I was going to wait anyway to see if 6gb handles the graphic setting which gives me an image I am satisfied with. I was just puzzled that I got the warning when I hadn't changed anything.

I am in the process of upgrading my graphics car from a 6Gb one to minimum 8Gb HOWEVER since I purchased and installed MSFS2024 I have never got this warning before using that SAME airport (actually one which I created). I have NOT changed any graphics settings. Could something else have changed them such as (sneaky) Asobo? Which settings should I change and when I get my new graphics card do I need to change graphics settings or does 'the system' automatically detect a better graphics card and adjust the graphics settings?

Thanks Tony. I'm just not dumb it seems.

I had little trouble assigning joystick buttons to 'actions' in 2020 but even after watching 2 or 3 youtube videos I am ready to throw in the towel. I just want to create a special profile for say piston engined aircraft. Things such as Specific Control Name which is showing NONE and is locked ie I can't change it. I search for Camera and then select Toggle External View then press button 2 and it displays button 7. All I want to do is set up a profile for all (say) piston engined aircraft with the following button assignments (I am using names I see in 2020) Button Assignment 1 Brake 2 Camera Cockpit/External view toggle 3 4 5 6 Landing gear toggle 7 Elevator Down 8 Elevator Up 9 Flaps Increase 10 Flaps Decrease 11 Parking Brake toggle Can anyone suggest correct sets to do this please? Obviously only the first 1 or 2 assignments are required as I guess the rest will be the same procedure. Thanks.

Very interesting. I always thought that prices in Oz were expensive than other countries and sometimes cheaper buying overseas and paying extra for freight.

It seems that replacing my 16Gb ram with 32gb could be a good starting point as it seems that 2024 uses a lot of streaming Then upgrade my graphics card to at least rtx2080 Then maybe upgrade cpu to one which has more than 6 cores. I never ran 2020 with extreme graphics and so not too interested in that. I will cost that out allowing for some return on my replaced hardware and compare to a new pc but I bet it is cheaper than a new pc - yes I know I would have all new hardware with a new pc.

Thanks Mace. I currently has16Gb (2 sticks) memory so considering replacing with 32Gb (2 sticks fitted to slots 1 and 2) as others have also suggested rather than mixing. Someone mentioned fitting to slots 1 and 4 but maybe that is only if they are not a kit (factory matched pair). Do you know if 2024 uses threads fully and they can affect performance ie can 2024 run better with an intel cpu with 16 threads rather than 8? And if so is the improvement noticable?

Thanks. I had forgotten tomshardware forum so posted there about mixed ram and it seems that ram should be in matched pairs and that 2 X 16Gb is better than 4 X 8Gb and as Bob also mentioned. Also trouble is finding NEW ram as my pc is 6 years old and DDR4 3200 is not available new anymore. Maybe a better graphics card is better. I think size of ram affects stutters only? My system briefly is i7 9700K cpu Gigabyte Z390 m/b 16Gb DDR4 3200 Gigabyte RTX2060 6Gb OC graphics card 500gb M.2 SATA ssd plus 2 SATA 3 ssd 34" Gigabyte monitor Windows 10 - please don't beat me up. Nothing overclocked unless the computer shop did without my knowledge when they built it for me 6 years ago.

The Aussie web site lists it as $A843 out of the question for me.
