I did not even consider that. You are 100% right, though. That fact locks it squarely in the current hardware demands.

As FS2024 is built using the same Asobo engine, I would expect very little (if any) change in system requirements. As before, you will need a solid CPU to get enough FPS and a solid GPU to make them look good. Surprisingly, people seem to forget that simple rule all the time.

Very good advice, however (you knew it was coming, right?).... I think you overlook DLSS 3. A friend asked me to build him a new machine for MSFS, and I took some time to experiment with that technology for the first time. And it is, as so many people already said, a total game changer for MSFS and X-Plane. Switch off DLSS 3, and we got 44 fps in one of my standard test locations; switch it on, and we got 83 fps. On a very solid 4k monitor, I was unable to see any difference unless I was extremely close to the screen. This was on a 4070 card. I have an AMD card, so I know the AMD equivalent technology, FSR, but in my experience, it does not bring the same increase in framerates and lowers the virtual cockpit's sharpness and crispiness. Of course, drivers determine this to a great degree, but I have not seen a major improvement in the last months. So I think I will switch from my work machines back to Nvidia at this moment.

I am 100% sure the devs have read this and will take the comment as consideration.

Sorry, can't give any timeline. But a lot has already been done.

Of course, that is possible, but that easily triples the amount of polygons and resource use. For a smallish object like this, not a problem, but that just leaves the next object that could use a few more polygons open to discussion. A good modeler (and this project is done by one!) will decrease the level of detail the further you get from a normal viewpoint. The image you show is a view that is simply not where an aircraft crew would ever see it. When I look at it from a closeby stand, it is not something that stands out in my opinion. If I would be the modeler, I would not add more polygons to this object. If I had some to spare, I would always use them to make a very close more detailed object.

We do not have a release date that we can share at this moment. Sorry.

Thanks for the comments!

I will ask the project manager.

Still try disabling.

Why? You bought it for what it offers, you are using it now, you have been using it for a good time, and you will be able to use it as long as you want. No value is lost. MSFS2024 is not around the corner any way.

Nothing we can announce at this moment.

That is one of the things the update will cover.

Okay, thanks for that info.
