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

hi guys what settings would i need to turn off within the game settings to get a steady framerate/gameplay with a resolution of 1440p to play this game, if im rocking with a 1080ti/i7 6700k ?
 
Gsync and fullscreen issues

Just tried the Gamepass version. Anyone else notice this game is not running in true fullscreen mode? As a result Gsync isn't working properly and panning the camera around does a slight 'jerk' every half second or so. My guess is the in menu setting of fullscreen is actually 'full screen borderless window mode'. This sucks and is such a basic error.

Is this because it's the UWP gamepass version? (I know a few other UWP games have fullscreen issues). Is anyone running the Steam version?

I was flying around last night in the ORBX enhanced London city map it's certainly worth getting for £6 can't wait for them to do more like this.

I could not get it to download via the storefront so just bought it directly through the ORBX central app.

Does that one have the London eye in it ? I noticed it isnt there in the standard game

Been playing this since yesterday. Still fine tuning in the Graphics department. However, do have an annoying problem. The ATC, most times it skips and doesn't read back. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yep, same problem. I've tried changing it from Azure to Windows Offline, no difference. Pretty sure I've got the English text to speech installed too. Gonna try and install the US English pack to see if that works.

Edit: Installing the US English voice pack fixes the Windows Offline mode, but it sounds very robotic obviously.

You can Enable G-Sync for windowed and full screen mode in the NVidia settings

thanks bud. aye, I know all this. From my experience gsync usually only works properly when a game is true full screen.

I’ve tested and confirmed this game isn’t..... If you set the gsync indicator in control panel to show, then in gsync settings set to full screen only or full screen and windowed, the gsync indicator doesn’t show in game I f gsync settings is set to full screen only, but it does show If set to fullscreen AND windowed.

Ergo, the in game “full screen” setting is not true full screen. It’s a pseudo borderless window fullscreen. And gsync sometimes does not work as intended when not running with true full screen, so I’m getting judder when panning the camera, even though FPS is in the 60s.

no judder for me in window or full screen I do see lfc kicking in sometimes when FPS drops hard but otherwise it’s lovely !
 
Getting decent framerates overall with a 9600k at 4.8, a 2070 Super and 32GB ram at 1440p on default High setting.

Flew an Airbus A3 around central New York with a Statue of Liberty flyby to test and still got around 30FPS, flying smaller planes gives incrementally better FPS up to getting 60fps or so around New York in the Icon A5.

Flying in less built up areas gives even better FPS, but overall even at 30FPS it feels like a professional flight training sim. Flying the big Airbus around New York actually feels scary at how realistic it feels being responsible for a huge plane above a mass of humanity with zero flight training in it.

I much prefer the smaller planes to match my skill level, and as a beginners plane the is Icon A5 is so nice and easy to fly, landings are so smooth, you can drop it out of the sky from almost any angle and easily land safely.

The A5 is slow but just so nice and easy to manoeuvre, anyone who doubts they can fly will be able to fly the Icon A5, almost guaranteed. The instrument panel is more simple than most cars, I love that plane.

Overall a great experience for me using the insanely good value Gamepass version, this is a great game that will no doubt be a benchmark and a reason to upgrade for years to come.

I've got a 6700k, 2080ti and 32 Gb RAM and its runs well on my system at high settings, need to dial it down a little from ultra, but a lot of it is individual preference. You should get good performance from your rig.
 
Nephew has an issue. Game is installed and he played yesterday. Today it's just stuck on the splash screen after the press any key bit and there is a spinning icon bottom right. Left it for 30m and nothing.

Create a desktop item for the game, right click it "Run as administrator"

Will try that now thanks.

Another weird thing, it's trying to launch about 3 times when I start it as I got the message flight simulator is already running.

Reset pc and did the desktop launch and working again. Thanks.
