I'm not sure the "fake" moniker is fair. Its all..not real. If it makes things smoother and looks good then, its good.

I gave up on it also and just use Better Bravo Lights. No more messed up xml file and working lights.

Yes, Steam uses your payment method to buy credits for FS Marketplace or something like that. There is a few extra mouse clicks but its no problem.

I wonder if it would be worth trying to move more load to your GPU? Seems counter productive but if you bumped up the resolution you might take some of the pressure off the CPU and the main thread in order to reduce stutters.

CRQ is my home airport IRL so I'm very happy this is out. For my flight sim sessions its my most often used departure airport. Its like my Meigs Field from the old FS 98 days. : ) Thank you Dreamflight!

Nice review, thanks.

Also there is a wall and fuel farm between the Atlantic ramp and the airline ramp that are missing. Minor issues though.

Purchased, so far looks very nice. Finally a good CRQ!

Screenshots look excellent. Will have to give it a go when I get a chance.

I very much would like a good KCRQ. Will buy! KSNA would be nice too.

I went to 4k with a 2080 Super and while it was flyable I was left really wanting more performance. I also want to keep settings as high as possible. I mean what is the point in trying to run 4k but having to give up eye candy? So I finally got a 3080 Ti, that and the last few sim updates and I am happy with 4k performance. No doubt there is a lot of subjectiveness to all this but in my opinion, don't spend on 4k equipment until you are ready to go all the way.

I would agree that the 3080 is probably a sweet spot for performance/price and running MSFS at 4K. However, anything you can get at MSRP is a good deal at this point. I was in the EVGA queue for a 3080 and a 3080Ti. The 3080 basically didn't move but the Ti's did. So that's what I ended up with. More money, more memory, more cuda cores and more Tensor cores. Most of all though, obtainable. So it was an easy choice.

Benchmarking at the lower resolution pushes the CPU and not the GPU. Higher res would show you GPU performance. This is a CPU we are looking at.

Ok, now since the update is stuck, I'm off to watch some Brit Box. Finished watching every Red Dwarf episode so Are You Being Served next? : )
