What exactly do you mean by " But when I try to install/enable it"? Did you install the latest Nvidia driver *and* use DLSS swapper to place it in MSFS's program folder? What are the options that remain unavailable to you?

They surely didn't say MSFS 2020, as the year 2020 was never part of the name until MSFS 2024 was announced, and still hasn't officially been adopted as its title. They said "Microsoft Flight Simulator" was supposed to have a ten year run. Which may have been a bit ambiguous but is still true to the letter even now, with MSFS 2024 being sold as a new installment. It's not clear what exactly you searched for and which search engine you used. I tend to think that it's part of an AI generated text, as is now common as the first search result shown by Google. That's why you should at least include a link, otherwise it's worthless.

If you rename or move the files to a different folder on the same disk, it doesn't matter how many GB you move. The data itself doesn't need to move, only the directory entry. If by "the same school" you mean that we actually know something about hunting down bugs, instead of just ridiculing those trying to help, then yes.

It is. Your statement doesn't become any more true just by repeating it. "wrong"... when locating a problem you just try to eliminate possible sources of error one by one. And trying without any add-ons first *is* a sound advice.

Not a big effort either if you cut/paste instead of copy/paste. Ok, copying them back in batches is a bit more work, but this is only necessary if it really was the fault of an add-on, and then it's well worth it. Using binary search, i.e. copying half of the add-ons to see whether or not the issue returns, then half of the remaining add-ons and so on. I didn't read it like that. Standard practice in troubleshooting to rule out a few common issues.

How so? It's enough to rename the community folder, and that's a matter of 10 seconds, no risk involved.

Changelog: Fixed a regression where airports could ignore weather information from their METAR https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/sim-update-3-beta-1-5-26-0-release-notes-august-15-2025/733937 Minor fixes only, seems like we're getting very close to release of SU3.

You're right, of course! Stupid me, must've been too distracted! 😅

Ok, thanks! Seems like I missed that - would be nice though to make sure it's scheduled on Twitch ahead of time too!

There was a dev stream yesterday? I thought it was about time for another dev stream, and checked the Twitch schedule a couple of times this week and last week and never saw anything announced, nor in the Thursday update blog posts... They should advertise it just a *bit* better

This can be avoided by increasing the scaling factor to 150% or more in the Windows 11 display settings until the icons have the desired size, but fonts are still sharper than on 2K. Whether or not it's worth it is highly subjective, and then there's the added cost of more GPU power needed to render all the pixels, but DLSS / FSR upscaling can help with it. My feeling is that the 7800XT is at the lower end for 4K, but it might still be ok, especially when making use of FSR.

You sure hold some strong opinions about things you apparently don't have much experience with, and then even berate others... I should've emphasized "recent" when speaking of gaming titles. Of coures most people should cap their fps once they reach the monitor's refresh rate, the only exception maybe being competitive gamers, but that's beyond the point. In many modern games you more often than not need to use upscaling to get anywhere near the desired refresh rate, and for many gamers that's way above 60fps. And that's before frame generation, because latency is key. Cyberpunk 2077 for instance is Personally I'm ok with framerates around 60 (pre frame-gen), but higher still feels better. I don't play competitive games, and I have the reflexes of a 20yo anymore, so I don't set a high standard by any means. In civil flight sim it's different, it's relatively slow-paced and the only case where I can feel latency is when panning around in the cockpit. I totally understand that some people are ok with 30fps here, but I prefer the latency of at least 60 fps native, and the smoothness of 120fps after frame-gen.

Yeah, and as others already said: As long as the temperatures are within specs, you shouldn't be worried about running your GPU at 100%, that's what it's made for. Almost any gaming title other than MSFS is expected to fully load your GPU most of the time. The difference with MSFS is that it's a lot more CPU-heavy than modern games - especially with the main thread that runs on a single core and can't be distributed to all the CPU cores, so that you can be CPU limited at way less than 100% CPU load.

What resolution do you use? @Simicro has 4K in their signature, so this obviously makes it easier to fully load the GPU than e.g. 1440p or FullHD.

Thanks for clarification! I thought I'd heard it in one of the interviews pre 2024 release... but as you (and others) pointed out, the purchases carry over between MS Store and Steam!
