My PC settings for MSFS2024

After replacing my RTX 3080 with a new RTX 5070ti. The settings described below fit my MSFS usage and  my PC configuration (my hardware configuration here). They may work or not work (at all) for your own usage and your configuration. This post is a memo for myself ;) With these, I get a steady 60 fps with FSLTL AI generated trafic. Last update: 19th April 2025.

BIOS

• Resizable Bar : OFF
• PCIe Speed: Gen3 (the maximum available and not Auto)
• PCIEX16_2 Configuration: PCIEX16_2 X4 (the maximum available and not Auto)

This help reducing Windows stutters and stop the Bus Interface Load constantly at 100% even when at idle on the Windows desktop.

Windows

Uninstall nvidia audio drivers (via Windows settings uninstall apps). It appeared I had stutters and noise crackling when the two audio drivers were active (sonic mother audio embedded card and the nvidia audio HDMI).

nVidia App

Parameters to change for MSFS2024 in NVIDIA App (Graphics - MSFS2024 - Driver Settings) :

• DLSS Override - Model Presets : Use same settings for all DLSS technologies : Latest
• Max Frame Rate: 60 FPS
• Power Management Mode: Prefer maximum performance
• Vertical Sync: ON

Remark: nvidia app settings Settings - Automatically optimize newly added games and apps: OFF

MSFS Configuration file, manual edit "UserCfg.opt"

• Frame Limiter 30 (instead of zero)

This parameter appears in SU2 Beta. MSFS generates a maximum of 30 FPS (including in menu ;) ) then the nvidia driver, with the Frame Generation feature, double the FPS to display a 60 fps on screen. 

Location of the UserCfg.opt file: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache

MSFS Settings Graphic

• Anti-aliasing: NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution
• NVIDIA DLSS super resolution: DLAA
• Frame Generation: NVIDIA DLSS

Global Rendering Quality MEDIUM except:

• Raytraced Shadow: ON (it sharpens the projected shadows on the cockpit)
• Motion Blur: OFF (I dislike the visual effet)
• Traffic Airport Quality: OFF (all traffic are managed by FSLTL or AIG)
• Air Traffic: OFF (all traffic are managed by FSLTL or AIG)
• Road Traffic: LOW
• Sea Traffic: LOW
• Fauna: LOW

The Terrain Level of Detail and Objects Level of Detail are managed dynamically with MSFS_AutoFPS by ResetXPDR (latest test version here and public version here)

DLL DLSS

 With DLSS Swapper, DLSS and DLSS Frame Generation set to 310.2.1

Encore du vent de travers mais cette fois-ci en 29L

Bon exercice hier en revenant de tours de piste à Rouen. Le vent est du Nord - Nord Ouest et les 29 sont en services. Pour une fois, j'ai pensé à anticiper le dernier virage pour ne pas overshooter ;)
