**** Official Microsoft Flight Simulator Thread ****

I asked this a while back but I hear there has been an update that helps performance (CPU bottleneck or something?), so here goes again - what would the minimum spec CPU/GPU combo look like for MS FS 2020 in VR (HTC Vive) at 60FPS minimum on high quality settings? 5800X and 3070 maybe?
 
Anyone else having scenery issues this morning? I assume it's related to streaming data.

Just trying out the freeware A330-900, pretty sweet!

With my 5800x and 3080 I get around 40fps on my quest 2, with most settings fairly low (but not rock bottom). In 2d I can get around 60 to 70fps pretty much maxed out at 3840x1600 and in airliners I am ever so slightly cpu bottlenecked in big airports. I did turn up static airplane traffic to 100 though so major airports are packed with planes instead of being empty.

So to answer your question, you need a 3090 if you want 60fps locked and a serious cpu to feed it. 5800x min or a fast Intel chip. The update did make a huge difference to alleviate the cpu bottleneck, but you still need fast cores.

Thanks I appreciate it a lot. This really demands high end gear doesn't it!

Nope, I did EGKK - FLPG and everything was fine.

Got my full Airbus quadrant now

How’s the add on? I’ve had two on order for some time now and no stock anywhere but lots of promises! I bought a second quadrant a few months ago to compensate for not having the add on but I couldn’t be without a double quadrant now for DCS. I’ve just bought a 3rd from members market but it will be kept as a spare.

It’s decent enough. Feels solid, action on the levers is very smooth. Easy enough to map as well. Personally, I’d bin your current mapping and just start it all from fresh when you’ve got the complete set. I was pulling my hair out wondering why the spoilers weren’t working, eventually realised that my spoilers were mapped to the throttle on my side stick lol.
 
So GOTY stuff, DX12 and Reno all land at the same time with SU7 next month - amazing. Good that despite the delay to the Top Gun movie they are still releasing the hornet anyway and will just save the full DLC for later.

Looking forward to reno, I think it'll be a blast.

Stunningly detailed models:

Two price points for Reno DLC - $20 and $60
 
Try stopping gaming services and restarting. Also do a proper shutdown rather than reboot (hold shift while clicking shut down).

I didn’t have any issues with it this time but previously when I got stuck in the update needed, no update in store loop that was the only fix.

Alternatively try checking using the Xbox app rather than windows store (although store worked for me).
