One of the main issues with comparing all the user feedback in terms of performance is the flight conditions used. Statements like “I’m only getting 25…30 FPS while you are getting 40+” are, not being offensive, nonsense. Depending on whether you’re flying low over photogrammetric cities, dense forests or 2k up in the air over plains will easily make 10…15 FPS difference. Different airplanes and weather conditions as well as lighting conditions (time of day, season) add to that. That’s why I’m doing my benching using the Flight Recorder addon with a pre-recorded flight using the same aircraft, same year, same date, same time of the day, same weather.
I suggest that if MS implement a replay feature as proposed for SU7 (?) which also allows exporting/saving those flights, we should record ONE 5…10min bench flight that will then be shared here in the forums and used as a standard for comparison.
I’ll start a corresponding thread and will try to include my current bench flight using the Flight Recorder addon.
Here’s the thread: Standard Bench Flight for Performance Comparison
