**** Official Microsoft Flight Simulator Thread ****
- Thread starter lurkio
- Start date
If you read the official FS2020 forum it seems to be a mixed story - some people getting nice FPS changes and less stutter, holding out until I can build a PC of a decent spec - by which time I hope MS have fixed what seems to be a lot of issues and even maybe optimised it a tad.
I think the planned move to DX12 ultimate will really help - this game is crying out for the reduced draw calls, better multi threading and DX12 stuff like VRS, direct storage (or RTX IO if you like nvidia rebranding it), mesh shaders and sampler feedback.
The nice thing is they will more or less be forced to add these performance optimisations in order to get it to run acceptably on the the Xbox series X and series S - work that us PC users will directly benefit from. For once the consoles are going to help PC gaming!
I would expect to see this game performing significantly better on full DX12 capable hardware once they’ve made the move.

Well there broken that A320 if you start at a gate from cold start you cant power it up

Game has gone back to being unplayable for me with this patch, FPS constantly dropping to the low teens, whereas prior to patch was solidly 30fps+ at all times.

Iv seen this so many times...Patch comes out to fix things which in turn make the game even worse than what it was lol

Try and start the A320 from the gate then..apart from more plane bugs it does run better for me also

I'm happy with the patch, yeah its broken a couple of things but its fixed a lot of glaring issues! If they keep this rate of updates up it'll be a fantastic game in no time.

Appears to be smoother for me. Only did the landing challenge (735,609) and a quick take off and lap of the island then land at st maartens in an A320.

Update seems to have smoothed out performance very nicely for me (4790k @4.8, 1080ti 16Gb RAM 4K) although at the menu screen it now seems to freeze for a minute or two after loading (to the point where you think it’s hung) then works fine....
Going to need a bigger SSD for this very soon!

Performance has improved for me, but not drastically, maybe around 5fps, will need more time and tinkering the settings to get it smooth, still having slight pauses, so I'm still setting the priority in task manager.
Appreciate the quicker loading times and the start however.

Does anyone else find that when they use one of the aircraft with a glass cockpit e.g. the DA40, 20 or the C208 it doesn't have their route showing on the right hand side (the screen with the map). I'm sure this is only since the patch came out.
I noticed yesterday when I planned a route it didn't show up in the map in the 787, looks like a new bug.
Ok, so now it's stopped CTD'ing I can confirm that performance improvement is massive on my system, the stutters and loading pauses are almost entirely gone and it is very playable.Performance appears to have improved for me, at least until I click 'ready to fly' at which point it crashes to desktop

Well I still can't get the patch to finish downloading. Over 6Gb worth to go and the file it's got to now just gets to 2% downloaded then aborts back to 0%.
Frankly I've thrown in the towel until MS/Asbooboo sort this out. (Ticket opened with Zendesk FWIW).
