Have you tried running GeForce Experience optimization. It will lower your settings below what you will like, but it is worth a try to see if you can run at their "optimized" settings. If successful, then you can go back and start adding more setting adjustments slowly. Just leave everything as the optimization sets it.

LFMK to LERS.

Actually, you will probably find a lack of memory of FSX or FS2002 to be an asset rather than a problem. This program is very different than the prior versions. Many of the "issues" are folks who grew used to the way FS2000, FS2002, FS2004, FSX worked, and are stumped at the change in key assignments and function in the new FS2020 version. I can't really address the best A320, I don't fly it a lot in the stock form, and I have not added the enhanced versions. You will be stunned by the graphical improvements.

I have plenty of disc space (over 650GB free), but I know I am unlikely to use it. It adds to load time. Consider that my most used airports are currently, KFMZ, KPHG, KMCI, and KDAY. I do fly out of Scandinavia, Germany and Austria, but not the airports and locations they think are interesting. I think I have actually only visited one POI location across the sim (one in Germany). Why add to overhead I won't use? I am patiently waiting for an ATR42-600 or a Q200, to fly out of smaller regional airports.

S28 to CJS5. This leaves the International Peace Garden which spans the Canadian-USA border. It sits among the Turtle Mountains, which are really hills.

For me, it is entirely OK. I don't want my landscape cluttered up with POI flags! I hope Asobo spends more time on other things, than adding POIs I will not use!! For example, I would really use a good small regional turboprop that could serve airports I am more likely to frequent!

The World Updates are NOT "Mandatory". I have only installed about half of them. I really am not the target audience for the World Updates. I tend to prefer to explore the obscure and remote as opposed to popular points of interest. For example, I have flown over Daltil, NM (2) more of than NYC (0). You may not know, but Datil has the distinction of being the quietest electromagnetic location in the USA. Very near there, is a massive radio telescope on rails.

FS 2.0 on an early 80286 machine. Later went to FS 6 (MS95). That is when I really began to get active in flight simulators.

To answer your question, Under all Control Panel items, select system, then display.

If you run Nvidea, I would use the Nvidea Control panel.

A short flight in North Dakota.

In the lower left side of your desktop, there is a search line that says type here to search. Just type in Microsoft Store.

I just did a short flight with 512.15 drivers and the latest update and it worked fine?? It is possible that it could be a hardware issue? This program is more demanding than X-Plane.

As loki pointed out, you ought to be able to download the program from MS Store. That should not be limited to one download.

First, MSFS does not yet fully support three monitors. Second, have you updated the MS Store? Can you go back to default on your camera settings?

There are several things here. First, we don't know your internet connection speed. If that is slow, that may be part of the problem. Second, it isn't very desirable to run the sim off a HDD. You really need a SSD or M.2 drive. Your GPU is at the low end of the performance envelope needed to run the sim, it will not get high frame rates with the other issues solved.

You might try running GeForce Experience optimization.

I have not tried any saved flights, but there have been a number of reported issues prior to the last two updates, in saving flights. This is very different software than older versions. I don't know if any of the latest updates have addressed the saved flight issues?

For long flights, he has almost surely created a detailed flight plan. With that in place, he can use the autopilot to step away for an extended period.

757-200 out of KMCI

KFET to KAIA. Fremont Nebraska to Alliance Nebraska. Fremont is just west of Omaha and Alliance is out in the Nebraska Panhandle. The cruise shot illustrates the edge of the Sandhills from 28,000 feet. The Sandhills are a vast stretch of fixed sand dunes that cover much of Nebraska north of the Platte River.

Mark, I don't dislike you, I really don't know enough about you to have an opinion. The thing that bothers several off us, is that threads which could provide useful information get needlessly closed. If you posted whatever opinions or statements in the FS9 segment of the forum, I assure you I would not care. I don't dislike FS9 or FSX. I run both FSX and FS2002 and I have had FS9 in the past. As I mentioned in the other thread, there are things about FS9 that are better for some purposes than FS2020. The issue is the threads getting locked when questions are not fully answered. You have a venue to post all your opinions, why not just stay in that segment and avoid all the consternation?

I have used the following brands successfully and never had a memory issue: Mushkin, Crucial, G Skill, and Kingston. All the major brands have various levels of performance and

"quality". I chose the G Skill I am using now, based on very low latency. There are other excellent brands. I would guess any brand could have a bad batch or manufacturing glitch.

Actually you can do that with MSFS FS2020. There are options to let AI fly while you run the communication with ATC.

With modern forum software, there ought to be a way to block a malicious poster from each segment of the forum. Since he does not even own MS2020, his comments won't add any useful information to this segment, and he can still post away in the FS2004 segment. That ought to be enforced!

The sad thing, is that this person sees it as a dichotomy, if FS2020 succeeds, it will be the demise of FS2004. I will point out, there are still adherents to FS95 that still build aircraft and operate that version. If the person didn't feel so threatened, we could all enjoy our hobby. There are legitimate reasons to retain some of the older versions, selection of addons, a product that won't change, systems complexity for the next few months. I realize some have invested a small fortune to dress up the older sims, and they are reluctant to forego their investment. But FS2020 competes nicely with all those products right from the stock installation. I might note, the other person incorrectly assumed that all four shots were from FS2020. In fact, two of the shots were from FS2020 and two from FS2002. The pairs are at the same positions, take off from Buffalo, WY on runway 31, and flying into the Bighorn Mountain foothills. If you open the shots, you can easily see the enormous improvement in the shots from FS2020.

Once again, both products can coexist. The other person need not crusade to trash FS2020 for FS2004 to thrive., We don't go to his FS2004 forum and post derogatory comments. Just stay where you are appreciated, and let the rest of us enjoy as well!

Here are 4 shots out of Buffalo, Wyoming.

Here is a shot of a similar area in FS2002, with the same compression.
