so lets talk business now.

how did they downgrade the gfx with the latest update?! i was able to gain some quality back by editing the userCFG and enabling some options but hey... hotfixes are on the way as i heard.
when i got all my other games running in full screen mode now using an option hidden in the comp. tab of a games exe (disabling fullscreen optimization and setting highDPI to application), MSFS just wont do it. even editing the userCFG and setting window to 0 and fullscreenborderless to 1 did not work. its that one game not working in real full screen mode (dont mean max windowed!!) for me.
playing with the developers console is nice thing to have! showing fps and changing settings on the fly is really handy in certain situations. never thought i'd be a customer for that kinda stuff but i am, a tinkerer with the computer settings...

yeah, i'm that guy setting up minor options for hours, starting and quitting and restarting games left and right... repeating test patterns and such... sometimes even getting lost a bit, forgetting to actually play a game...
but yeah, i really like the options presented to me here.
maybe its because i've been using consoles for comfort for a long time now... but i see, i have fun with all those settings and actually operating stuff and so on... i dont really need that big a comfort (or i could say: i have it now on my PC as most of the stuff is running super fine, like on a console). even recording in the background is as easy as on PS5 (will have to look for a software recording in the background like 1 hour in the past (buffered)). a bit of exploring and setting up and trying to optimize stuff sure isnt everyones business... but i am well busy with that stuff and i have a lot of fun while it happens.

this could look like work to others... i get that, in times where users dont bother entering the settings menu of a game at all (and thats fine!!). i'm just a bit more on the nerdy side i guess!

the sim genre is really taking advantage of all the PC possibilities... maybe i was good in the past with what i had on console and i'll play some more titles on PS5 for sure. But the sims, racing and flying, really are at home on a PC!
edit: btw, i tried playing at 30fps, and it works, but i do prefer this sim in 60fps (even when that means i have to tinker with the graphics settings)!
it is a beauty!!
i disabled film grain in the userCFG and will have a look for more gfx options to edit here for an even more immersive expirience!
the weather... guys... the weather...
