• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Pulled the trigger...

For @Brian_Gladden and @SgtT ... I've probably posted this video eleventeen times since it came out, and there have been more settings added since then, but this is still an invaluable reference to see what you can tone down visually to save resources. I started MSFS on a gaming laptop with a 1060 mobile card, and with this video, I was able to take notes on what settings made very little difference at higher settings so that I could ramp up others. Grab a beverage, plus a pencil and paper - it's long. But it's well worth the watch. Spoiler alert - save all you can for high quality clouds!

My system handles most stuff butter smooth at medium average settings. The only place it went slideshow was trying to land at the Lower Manhattan Heliports or downtown London. (I do have the Fly-By-Wire AI injector). On my 32 bit P3d I'd get out of memory (I had lots of AI) when I got within 30 miles of Montreal.
