Hey Folks,
At last I finally managed to get a new laptop that should have allowed me to play MSFS easily. The main specs are:
CPU: i7 10750H @ 2.60Ghz
GPU: NVIDIA 1650
RAM: 16 GB DDR4-2933 Mhz
HDD: Hitachi 1 TB SATA III
OS : Windows 10 Pro
I first tried to download through STEAM. After 2 weeks of effort, I gave up. Never got it to work. They were kind enough to refund me without a quibble after I explained all the errors that had arisen.
I then downloaded directly from Microsoft Store. The download and installation seemed to go well but starting it meant sitting quietly for up to 8 minutes while waiting for it to open properly...
I have experimented with online and offline and with medium to lowest settings, in particular on graphics. However, I cannot get the simulator to run smoothly at all. Frame rate is very unstable and in the region of 10 fps. But, to me, the confusing stat is that my GPU has yet to go above 12% usage. In short, I am getting nowhere.
May I ask if anyone can identify something I am doing totally wrong? Or should I just give up and go back to FSX - for which this laptop is not optimised....
Thank you.
Ian
