Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

Optimization Tips

• Performance is heavily CPU-bound in dense urban areas and complex airports. SSD is mandatory for smooth asset streaming.
• Enable DLSS 3 Frame Generation if you have an RTX 40-series card to significantly boost smoothness.
• Lower the 'Terrain Level of Detail' setting, as it is the most demanding setting for both CPU and GPU.
• Install the game on a high-speed NVMe SSD to prevent stuttering during map streaming.
• Cap your frame rate to 30 or 60 FPS to maintain consistency, as flight sims are more sensitive to frame time variance than twitch shooters.
