Important:
Apologies everyone - it seems a bug occurred during the video production process. Hence the display is weird during the section where I talk about graphics settings. I'm sorry I didn't discover this earlier! To compensate for this, I made a 36 min video exclusively covering the graphics settings:    • MSFS graphics settings tutorial  

In this video, I go through all my settings and tweaks that I've refined over the last few years. Goal: to get the best performance and image quality possible.

It's quite a long video, and hopefully, I remembered to discuss the most important settings first. I hope it's helpful - and don't forget to ask if you have any questions. Or comment if you are doing things differently - I value any input as long as it's respectful and constructive.

Sorry, completely forgot to talk about how to do a quick MSFS re-install without having to re-download hundreds of gigabytes. I’ll make a separate video on this including how to dramatically increase download speeds.

Also, I think I incorrectly stated that worker density should be set to at least 1 (for AI aircraft pushback to work). I meant airport vehicle density.

Remark:
Some of you might have seen the video go live for a short while in 360p. My mistake as I uploaded it in .mkv, which YT apparently does not support. Apologies!
