Hey bud, Got it finally.

2080 super, 2600 ryzen on this system. Running nothing else but FS2020. Vram is hitting its limits and CPU usage peaks 99% when you look around.

Here's mine with only 4 cores 0 threads set on FS, though others are somewhat active with whatever in background

Dunno why you are getting low performance, or me high perf lol

 

[Techen]

Could be it's handling the CPUs in different ways it's hard to tell really

Gonna be a long alpha for us

WTF, 9fps!

Is it like that all the time?

Only sometimes when you enter a really populated city.

The honeycomb yoke is really good but is pricey at between £219-£250 depending on where you buy from.

Blimey, best stick to flying over the ocean

I remember the early days of FSX where 9fps was a luxury! The main reason I want high fps in my civilian flight sim is to support VR, otherwise a steady 30 is fine. No need for 100+ fps, just give me more reality/immersion in those CPU cycles.

 

[LeMson]

I too remember anything in the teens, over 15fps was playable with fs98 lol

 

[robfosters]

Deffo gonna need to grab another 16GB of RAM for this game.

one thing I don’t get about Techen’s screenie, is that he’s getting 9fps, but his GPU is only 56% utilisation.

Does this mean the game could be extremely CPU dependent? Or could it be poor optimisation at the current stage of development?

 

[wolfie138]

i'm assuming to ease things a bit it will have some buffering system built in, so it can preload scenery based on your direction of travel etc?

I see with yesterday's update another wave of alpha invites is going out, sitting here expecting another week of disappointment :'(

 

[Participant]

I for one am glad that this is looking like crippling current systems. For me this just means that it'll stand the test of time.

 

[Mr_Sukebe]

The graphs posted earlier imply that this is multi-core. Anyone know if it's DX12?

Hah yes I get the same feeling too. Keeping everything crossed though.

DX11 but it uses upto 8cores it seems

 

[andy_mk3]

I guess the 8C usage makes sense with 8C Zen2 in the next Xbox.

While it will be on the Xbox Series X, I believe it's being made for Xbox One. Certainly listed on the games site as Xbox One.

Indeed yes. I'd imagine it's being primarily coded to make use of the new hardware though. Then cut back to run on lesser hardware. Really hope I get in on the alpha though.

I'm not too sure otherwise surely they would mention the Xbox Series X. The game has been in development for 5 years I believe. My opinion is they will make it for the Xbox One then scale it up just like GTA 5 was made for the 360 and PS3 then scaled up to the PS4 and Xbox One. Could be totally wrong though but with the limited information we have it seems the case.

I hope they have a alpha/beta for the Xbox version. I have the One X and hopefully it runs good on that though depending on how better it is on the Series X I'm willing to upgrade to that just for this game.

 

[andy_mk3]

You may well be right there. Who knows I guess!

I got my alpha invite though
