Game insists on using integrated GPU and not the dedicated GPU

That shouldn’t happen but it’s quite possible to force integrated graphics to be used all the time in the bios. Is this just for MSFS or for all titles, have you checked your motherboard manufacturers documentation? Device manager -> Display is showing both integrated and external GPU right and you have integrated disabled?

Sorry I don’t own an AMD motherboard but it doesn’t sound like an MSFS problem to be honest.
