Moved to Community Help Center where the topic seems better placed for community assistance.

For any posts in the #bugs-and-issues categories, it is important to use the template as this provides key information on any suspected MSFS bugs. Before posting, you should also search that category for any existing reports in which you can contribute.

Make sure your usercfg.opt file isn’t set to read-only. I had exactly the same issue as you and that was my problem.

Thans for responding, where i can find this file and what it should be setup ?

It depends on your setup. I’m a Steam user, and this is my path:

X:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\UserCfg.opt

I believe this is the Microsoft Store path, but I may be wrong. If this doesn’t exist, you can search the forum for “usercfg.opt” and you’ll find it:

X:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\UserCfg.opt

Exit MSFS if you’re in it now. Once you find the file, right click it and look at the bottom of the panel for the “Read-only” flag. If its selected, deselect it, click OK, and start MSFS.

Everybody I trust has said DX12 performs worse for them, so I wouldn’t recommend using it.
