Anyone interested in TOP scenery quality (what your GPU can do, irrespective of frame rate)
FOR NOW.. check this out there’s a tweak for it thx @MrTonySM !
In the future.. without cfg changes.. the remainder of this topic
Suppose.. someone produces game consoles.. you’ll have a great version within a few years, with good graphics, and to get it rolling, you develop MSFS early for PC and let the community review it, test it, expand it with free scenery.. good plan ! things will land on the Console, eventually.. and on PC’s, it is a win-win ! a lot of people will buy it and have fun with it, love it, hate it.. whatever ! It has got the eye balls when your new console comes out.
Issue is, things changed a little since 2018.. in PC-land.. you got for instance this RTX-3080 super board suddenly for 800 instead of 1500. Also RAM is no issue anymore, 32GB or 64GB is getting common for PC’s. It will cost some, but on Ultra it gives a lot of bang for the buck. So high end PC users and photographers use Ultra levels a lot. But LOD-200 is out.. even LOD-100 is out.. Settings got clipped, because the promise is 30Fps ?
This whole issue for PC users is not needed. MS/Asobo could make everybody happy again, with the following proposal.. Easy way out.
Simply change the General Settings and Reserve Ultra level for PC’s ! Tune it separately !
Why ? Console and PC’s are separate paths that will stay. In the coming years, XBox won’t get anywhere near new GPU’s coming out for the PC. So let’s have that supported ! Don’t tune everything down, just the low, medium and high levels. Leave the Ultra levels on the pre-Nordic settings. Or special settings, that are tuned for 35 FpS on.. a 3080 + i7 + 32GB ? And let’s have an honest High end, if you want LOD-200 you get it, also on the Console.. it will be unflyable.. but what photographer needs FpS ? You want the best picture. you tune it up and down.
I run low end hardware, I’d gladly give my 7 “Nordic FpS gains” back to be able - again - to make landscape pictures…
