Must be a bug TXAA tanking performance as the hit is supposed to be very minor compared to the other AA methods.

Made a small difference. Definitely a performance downgrade with this update. Roll on the next hot fix I suppose.

Going on past history the hot fix should be here by end of week and then I can reinstall it!

If you got performance reduction check motion blur - seems to have defaulted to ultra for some

Can confirm, I had this.

I'm after some rudder pedals and I've been looking at:

Thrustmaster TFRP
Logitech G Saitek PRO

Are the Logitechs worth the extra money? I've also seen the CH Pedals on auction, if I can get them cheap enough would they be worth it?

Thanks.

I have the thrustmaster ones, theyre ok they do the job, cheaper than logitech. Each pedal is quite close together, its not an issue for me but have seen others complain.

Trying to pop-out the instrument panels using AltGr crashes the game every time using DirectX12. It's fine with 11 but it tanks performance. It's about a 10fps hit with each popped out window.

Is one monitor HDR and the one you are trying to pop-out onto non-HDR? This caused me issues in the past. Disabling HDR on the HDR capable monitor allowed me to use the pop-out.

Tried it for the first time from playing it earlier in the year, anyone noticed that controls don't work after a period of time and you have to move the cursor? also the the map overlay doesn't move or shrink.

Performance wise on DX11 VR getting sturdy frames 30fps.

No, just standard dynamic range on a 170hz 1440p monitor. It crashes even before i can drag the window to a second monitor.

Thanks, I may have to give them a miss then having feet on the larger side.

Define period of time? I frequently fly for 90 mins or more in a single flight and have never seen this.

I ended up with the cheaper Logitech Pedals because I couldn't get anything else at the time; from what I've seen though review wise the Logitech ones are meant to be better; a little heavier weight

NeverWinter · 30 Nov 2021 at 11:20

Yeah they're probably what I'm going to go for and it looks like they have resisance adjustment.

it seems to be a noted issue on MFS forum that after a couple of minutes the mouse becomes unresponsive along with the throttle controls, also you can no longer move the map.

Not tried it myself but does look good and really easy to setup

There have been a few topics on the official forums about removing the Google maps and returning to using the Bing ones. The un-install can be flaky.
