Anyone else lost performance?

With DX12 the game became unplayable for me. I switched back to DX11 and performance is on par with before the patch.

I bought the basic Reno pack over the weekend. Not that I intend getting involved in the racing, rather that I'd like to have the 4 aircraft that are in the pack. I'm a big fan of the P51 within DCS, so wanted to use one in FS2020 for sightseeing.
Took the Mustang for a little wander yesterday. Yep, nice way to see the world.

Went back to FS2020 yesterday after my previous control woes, everything back to working just fine!

No idea what the update fixed for me but it fixed something!

Now to get some air time in before it breaks again…

I’m not happy with this update. It has destroyed performance for me on DX11 and 12. Just can’t understand it.

I tried to fly the VoloCity and I couldn't get it to fly, do you have to set it up manually, all the other planes work fine with my Thrustmaster setup

DX11 is better for me, but my frames still lower, 18fps over Newcastle.

Have you tried getting rid of any custom mods/addons to see if one of them is incompatible?

Check AA settings mine got turned onto fxaa somehow by the update and it was tanking my performance

Also dx12 was worse FPS for me

Thanks, I’ll give it a whirl

 

[willhub]

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

 

[robfosters]

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.
