Am I right in thinking the consoles can pump out close to 120fps in certain situations? Skip to 10.45

Earlier in the video, Alex said that the graphics were Ultra settings compared to pc, with a resolution of 4k (upscaled from 1440p), so if that's right, that is incredibly impressive!

That was obviously filmed before the update as they say about the low frame rate on PC, and it’s now almost doubled. The game may look similar, but you will get a higher frame rate. I am very suspicious of that 120fps on the X tbh.

I'm waiting for the inevitable pc and xbox comparisons, but it's still really impressive that it can do what looks like ultra at 1440p, and good framerates if you have the right tv, which I have :)

Definitely looks like it will be offer more performance than my current rig, and I'm not willing to pay the gpu prices these days, so i'm really considering the series x

Just remember though, they might look similar now, but PC power will advance and MS will be able to get more out of it. With the X, they’ll eventually hit a hardware capability wall.
 
Well I surfed the global vpn’s and got download rates as high as 25mbits/sec which is 3x as fast as I’ve ever got!

40gig download
27gig update from inside content manager
25gig of orbs adding to redownload!!

nearly there!

anywhere from high 40's to 80's but mostly around the 50-70fps mark for me, depending on location - everything maxed out. Looks incredible with HDR too. Now I just need to get better at flying so I don't keep blowing up my planes mid air :|

You have to set a button (eg left mouse click) as interact in the keybinds.... until you have done so it will show a "?" as the interact key. Why they haven't bound something as default is a mystery to me.

If you prefer not to try the new interaction system, you can change to the old method in the accessibility options.

Anyone having stability issues/CTD - turn off AI traffic (if it is on), and remove any addons. Seems plenty of addons have compatibility issues which I guess is to be expected with the substantial engine changes, will take a while for problematic ones to be updated I guess.

@dannywaugh1 not got that issue personally. Have you checked xbox networking in settings (settings - gaming - xbox networking)?

Sorry I didn't mention I'm on PC

How are you managing to blow up mid air :confused:
 
just flew from bristol to heathrow in VR in an A320 and it was smooth all the way until I landed at heathrow. With mostly high settings and 100% render res! Wonderful update :D

Kept getting "lost connection" messages which was annoying, but I expect the servers are still getting hammered
 
A mate of mine has just suggested I give this a try but the installation is painfully slow and then just seems to crash at about 5%!?!? Has there been a recent update and I have simply picked the worst possible time to try and download this beast??

I was talking about PC. All the networking for MSFS is handled through the xbox networking section... you can check for connectivity issues where I suggested in your PC settings.

It’s just hung again when I switched my engines off. I’m thinkingbof doing a complete reinstall

Reinstalling now. Definitely think something went wrong with the update.

Finally had a good play this eve and still didn't run into any issues personally. Perhaps my forced clean install was a good thing!

I have to say it's running pretty nicely. Big improvement in VR imo but still a challenging game to run at high settings and resolution.

Yes you picked the worst possible time! Huge update went live last night for PC and it just launched for Xbox yesterday as well; it will take a while to download!

With a fresh install of Flight Sim and current server loads and download speeds, you are probably looking at at least a day to download the game from scratch, and then another day to download all of the scenery expansions that have been released since launch.

It is the biggest drawback of flight sim, the installation time is astronomical - not through size, but because the downloads crawl due to server load and the client often crashes when left unattended for long periods (such as downloading 40GB patches over 4 hours)

It does hit 120fps, with VRR, in certain conditions; e.g. high altitude or in rural areas but it fluctuates wildly anywhere else with no chance in densely populated areas / cities.

This article sums it pretty much.
" The frame-rate is highly variable though, anything from 50fps to 120fps, and while the improvement is clear, it also serves to make the stuttering issues on Series X more noticeable (Series S is more consistent overall). " *
*the S is fixed 1080p v X at 4k.

I'd much prefer a non-VRR targeted 60 with dynamic res between 1440p/4k or even a fixed 40/4k with reduced subsampling. I'd expect more optimizations and performance options are incoming for all platforms! (:
 
Since SU5 Live weather is a no go

I fly jetliners and with live weather on i struggle to get over 22000ft The sim thinks im at 40000ft + hence no lift, Also ATC thinks im 1000ft below or above than what i actually am at , Also my airspeed will increase or drop 100kts in a second LOL

Iv been trying with Pre set weather and its fine

Hope this is fixed ASAP

Since SU5 its a smooth as butter now runing it on a 3080, Im happy with this bit :)
 
The Xbox x has a gpu similar to a 2070, maybe a 2070s or perhaps somewhere in between so it won’t do 120 fps unless you only have plain blue sky in the frame.
