Am I going to have any issues running this on a 3600 chip with a 2070S?

only if you try the set max visual settings. I have a similar rig and it runs ok.

The plan is to move to a 5600X chip but I’m lazy so that probably won’t happen. I could get 32gb of ram which would hopefully help out a bit?

32gb of ram rather than 16 would help

Can't wait to see what modders can do over the whole world over the next few months/years!

For those interested, you can find scenery updates like this one here: https://flightsim.to/c/scenery/mountains

Makes your PC work hard, and load times are longer, but for a quick little look around worth it.

The latest update is out with hopefully better performance for multi core systems.

Nothing in the patch notes about CPU optimisations.... Maybe they didn't ship with this update.

Just to confirm, as I suspected due to the lack of mention in the patch notes they delayed the CPU optimisations - they are hoping to have them in patch 7.

from the community forum:

CPU Optimizations: improvements to CPU threading They held back on releasing in Update #6 as they noticed some risks. As of today they things are looking good for them to be in Update #7, though don’t hold me to that. So far, so good!

Would you say it is more CPU or GPU dependant ?

What a fantastic shot!

Both!

 

[Mr_Sukebe]

Both!

Don’t forget the RAM (32GB), a 100GB install and a good net connection. Then a decent HOTAS. The game is the cheap part

I’ve got a warthog - not really suited to flying down to nice, but it’ll have to do

Latest up date has fixed my awful FPS and low GPU usage. Praise the Lord!

I’m downloading this for the very first time. 10GB to go!

I haven’t got a clue how to play it.

As above also GipperSim on Reaction Review is worth a watch, he is a professional instructor and has just started a series of videos going through the Private Pilot training manual.

Thrust master t -flight hotas X any good for this?
Thinking of asking for it for crimbo and an extra 16 gig ram.

Finally got around to getting my Simshaker to work with FS2020 yesterday. That's a nice help.
For anyone who's having a problem, you need to install a SimConnect.msi.
