Keep in mind. No one combination of settings will work for everyone. Play around with the settings. Find what works best for you! This is just my own personal experience with my specific setup (Hardware specs in description).

Dear Bogey Dope, thank you again for the most excellent video. I watched it twice. Very concise and balanced. We have many more great things being worked on... Thank you for sticking with us and for your passion and support. Kind regards, Nick

One thing to note about the Cinematic cam is that unlike F4 view, you can also position it anywhere you wish on the aircraft when replaying a multiplayer track. On a multiplayer track replay, F4 could not be moved forward, or aft, only zoomed and rotated about a fixed axis. This cinematic cam feature is a big help for those of us who use multiplayer tracks for getting some external shots.

[Frozander]

my only real issue with DLSS is the massive amount of ghosting on MFDs and HUDs. TBH They do not need an upscaling pass so their render pass should be done after DLSS to prevent it in those critical displays. I don't mind the minor ghosting on other places.

[ralfidude]

Thanks for kind words. Nice overview! 😊

[SteveSurgenor]

After the latest patch VR works perfectly for the first time ever in Multi Threading, superb. One thing I have noticed is the view distance is virtually limitless now, I can see things literally to infinity.

[eticket]

@Bogey Dope!! Great video man, your guidance combined with the new hotfix from ED this morning and I'm avg 130 FPS on a 3-mnonitor setup with everything turn up! Now, I am downloading the shaders you use to finalize my rocking setup....THANK YOU SIR!

[nyandyn]

My pet peeve with DLSS is that cockpit instruments will ghost a lot. If there was an option to disable it based on the depth buffer, I'd use it.

[JohnJamesFranchi]

Great video. Forgot to give it a thumbs up the last time I watched it.. so I watched it again and did the needful.

[johngeiger]

I've always wanted Eagle Dynamics to fix that sluggish movement when you pitch and yaw and they finally did it. It looks really real now.

[biggus]

Scrollable radio menu with context-sensitive bindings was a pretty decent QoL improvement too. I think it's a good patch for sure!

[gappleton]

Great review! There was a couple things I missed - thankyou!

[shagrat]

The color grading is perfect for cinematics, but also for time period accurate briefing pictures and campaign documents. E.g. WW II, Vietnam/Cold War era "recon photos" with sepia or cinecolor filters, or beauty shots of aircraft with typical two-color sky "enhancements"... 😂

[AlexanderGarzon]

excellent summary of all major features in this release 2.9

[bulletstop]

I am absolutely loving the new effects.. It has been a great update for me.

[Carbon_]

Your peeve was canopy hooks, mine was the tgp not stowing externally. Also fixed now 😁

[Nemisisxdd]

That FPS counter has been a thing before the latest patch fyi, atleast 3-6 months

[johnblaze]

My 2.9 upgrade didn't go smooth, but slowly getting better. I am going to fault mostly the user, Thank you sir, for doing this video. That SSS tip I will try, I too ran into that same problem. Great video.

[AlphaGatorDCS]

Great video! Tuuvas is incredible...his video on the SPQR server was awesome.

[seetheworldcessnavr]

THX from an absolute newbie. So hyped!
