Nice balance between arcade and sim I just signed up for it, do you know if it will be multiplayer in the future or if it has / will have VR support? e: cool the vid says will have multiplayer, steam lists it as SP right now so I was confused.

I'm pretty sure MSFS is enough of a hog to make use of any additional hardware money you want to throw at it. Ultimately if you're unsure, I would say build your 7800x3d system with your current 3090 and see if it makes you happy. You can always upgrade the graphics card later (provided you have enough head room in your power supply to feed it).

slidebite posted:I did a post in SH forum, but thought I'd post it here too even though this thread seems to be pretty dead lately Going to a 12th gen Intel or the latest AMD CPUS should be a far more significant upgrade. While the 9900K is a beast, it can't really go 1 to 1 on the newest CPU behemoths anymore. The upgrade on 12th gen intel is quite significant for MSFS purposes. The difference of even a 12700k over the 9900K is almost 20 percent in single thread, and the 13th gen intel beats the 9900k up real bad.

I went from a 9900k to a 7800X3D with a 3080 TI and get 40-50+ fps in “5K” (5120x2160) with graphics settings cranked in the high/ultra range (and could probably get a steady 60fps if I could be bothered to selectively tweak stuff down a bit). The CPU upgrade was a massive improvement in frame rate, and for 1440p your 3090 ought to be more than enough if you went for something like the 7800X3D. Definitely try it before chucking your card and upgrading.

The upgrade on 12th gen intel is quite significant for MSFS purposes. The 5800X3D and 7800X3D eat intel's lunch in MSFS, and they appear to be quite good in DCS too. Those chips have enormous amounts of L3 cache, which these sims absolutely love. We're talking about the 7800X3D having 30% more performance than the 13900K in many tests: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/7800x3d-performance-reviews-for-msfs/585520 The 4090 is less important to get though, considering the OP's resolution. I'd get the 7800X3D first, then see what performance is like with ultra settings enabled. If you can get 60fps with the 3090 (as I suspect will happen), then maybe hold off until FS24 is released and reevaluate then.

i'm playing at 4k but i rarely if ever see my 4090 hitting full throttle (also with a 7800x3d), and that's at 4k. ultrawide 1440p a 3090 is more than sufficient. the 7800x3d is solid as hell though, definitely recommend

Thanks for the input folks. Finding specs on 3990x1440 between the 3090 and 4090 isn't super common. 4K and 1080p seems to be more the norm. I was thinking of selling it more sooner than later as the used 3090 market seems decent right now, but I guess it probably won't crash anytime soon so yeah, doing a 7800 build and seeing how it goes makes sense. I am eventually hoping to get a larger, ~40ish 4K monitor but that probably won't be anytime soon. Now just to decide if I'm going to keep going with my ancient full size fractal ATX case or take the opportunity to do something else. e: Took the plunge ordered the 7800X3D and will start to slowly to more research and get the rest of the components together. slidebite fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Aug 6, 2023 |

Feel free to pop into SH/SC's PC building thread where me and several others are often answering questions about PC hardware. I'll say that ancient cases often don't have enough airflow to keep the PC from overheating when you have a 450W GPU dumping heat into the thing. Thankfully Fractal Design is still making bangers, though. https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/

Pretty sure Mentour's courses are free and flight sim coach is a paid thing. I signed up after watching his video on the Connie on the weekend. No harm in it and I'm curious how the process works.

it's astounding that it opens a unique download session for each file, from 100mb textures to 2kb inis, instead of idfk maybe compressing the whole set into an archive and unzipping it locally when it's done??? maybe???? like you could not pick a slower and shittier way of transferring a large chunk of data

Asobo has negated your criticism by making a launcher that can also get stuck decompressing.

Very normal software Launch MFS Get error saying it needs to be updated from the MS store first Launch MFS Get update window which you have to click update first, so don't walk away until you're sure Complete update after 15 minutes before the 5-10 minute launch process Go into the marketplace and update all that poo poo too Close the game just to make sure, unless it crashes before hand Relaunch game and go through slightly faster but still slow launch. At least 2024 will give me a chance to get off the Microsoft store and to steam. Hopefully the premium edition either won't exist or I'll get a crack at getting it because lol it costs more to upgrade a standard copy to premium now than it does to buy premium+standard outright to this day.

Unfortunately the steam version still uses the awful updater and I can only hope that 2024 is better about downloading. I currently don't have the game installed because I was getting unfixable issues and decided to completely wipe my install and I just haven't felt like trying to redownload everything.

Yeah this is my problem. Even DCS updates faster and I've always had issues with that launcher, and I usually find myself playing IL-2 or BMS instead. Will definitely be returning to try out the Ornithopter, though.
