I read earlier in a post that someone noticed nvidia geforce experience sets msfs to optimal settings automatically after update. Sure enough. I reverted back to my settings and San Diego at 6pm looked perfect.

When you say āoptimalā I assume you mean what NE thought was optimal? Because they normally suck really badly!
I disable that feature myself, I did see itās proposed settings for my system once and it wanted everything set to low, which is a nasty joke!

Thatās correct sir!
Yah its an useless featureā¦ Ive never found them to be optimal.
I will definitely try to figure out how to disable the optimal setting thing because yes it is a joke.
Just donāt run nvidia experience, except to manually update the drivers. Skip all the rest ā itās it necessary.
I run it often to see if new drivers are available. Is there a way to keep it from optimizing games after updating?
Just click the Drivers tab only. Donāt go to the optimize tab.
Thatās exactly what I always do and I swear it never used to automatically optimize on its own until now. Iāve never set it to optimal myself. Not with any of my games because it i donāt trust it.
Isnāt there an option tick box where you can let it automatically optomise games for you. Might be worth looking in the settings to see if thatās the case and disable it if so. Iām sure that came up on first use and I unticked it.
I agree though, the āoptimalā settings must have been set by someone who thinks flight sims are first person shootersš„“
And along side that, the nvidia control panel no longer exists.. power and performance settings have to be done through windows settings rather than the display settings tab. ( desk top right click). Has anyone found/ can offer any alternatives?
Strange, I still have the Nvidia control panel.
Here, I just untick āAutomatically optimize newly added programā. Then, I donāt have anymore my MSFS setup returned to very very low settings.

Well that with Nvidia is relative! It depends on your own feelings. Sure, the settings of Nvidia are optimally set for the refreshrate, but if these are not important to me and I can live with less FPS then I can increase other settings and make the whole thing look nicer. Each as he likes. I donāt use it because itās too one-sided for me
Itās no longer included in the latest driver set.. what are you running?
One question: Do the settings inn Geforce Experience automatically override the Nvidia settings and/or the in-game settings in MSFS?
Iām running the latest, downloaded via GeForce Experience. I am still able to right click and bring up the control panel.
Interestingā¦ Iāve been trying to find away to get it back to no avail. The search continues.
I guess Nvidia Experience treats the just updated MSFS as a newly added program. When I started updating MSFS on Tuesday, it was soon changed from full screen 1440p to windowed full HD. Of course other graphic settings where also somehow āoptimizedā.
