Long live Apply and Save. I by accident pressed Reset to Defaults. But also then you have to apply and safe. I chose for escape and then you can disregard. Learned something extra today. Thanks for this video again!

new to this channel, very good update review, excellent pace and clear voice. Lots of valuable tips as well.

Once again, Mark proves why he is one of, if not THE preeminent MSFS YouTube resource.

There's a large number of people complaining in the MSFS Forum about loss of performance after the SU12 update. When they're told to delete their Rolling Cache, Manual Cache, and DX Shader Cache, they get back the fps and frame time numbers they had in SU11. I was one of those people, and learned that it's good practice to do this after every MSFS update, and to delete the Shader Cache after a GPU driver update as well. So far I'm enjoying the new update, and I agree that DX12 seems to be working well so far. Myself and others did notice a couple of things that weren't working well (some rotary encoders' behavior were wonky) but these are minor points that I'm hoping will be solved with future fixes. I was quite happy flying my Bonanza 1, 000 ft. over Manhattan getting a very smooth, stable, and gorgeous 60 fps with 14ms frame time @ 1440P with my 5800X and RTX 3090 Ti. Can't wait to dial in my brand new Reverb G2. I finally got my prescription lens inserts from VR Optician installed yesterday. Yes, Mark, I took your advice from another video, and paid the extra $32.00 for the Blue Light filters. 😉

Yes, I picked up the AN-2 also when I saw the price! Low and slow is always fun, also why I picked up the DHC-4 a few weeks back.

Thank you Mark for all your good advises . Please also note that deleting the nividea or Amd shader cache solved a lot of stuttering issues i had after a card change or a Sim update .

Great to see you are enjoying the Pico 4 Mark, nice VR footage too. Thanks for the tips take care!

Always look forward to these informative videos and i shall wait before getting this rather Huge Aircraft which I have seen in real and also seen it fly and also read alot about it long ago.

I would love to see content creators mention in the video or show notes what airports they are using in the video. Some of the airports look great and I for one would like to experience them myself.

Thank you Mark. Your videos are the best and most helpful.

[Mr.Martini]

Glad to hear the update hasn't caused you any headaches. I always wait a few days before doing the update to see if there are any major hiccups. Please say the update didn't upset your graphics settings!! Thanks Mark.

[themtoniraniremaxbroker]

Many Many Thanks Mark, Much Appreciated Sir!! You are the Very Best!!

Thank you very much Mark, great video! I'm going to check those settings when I get home from work.

All went well this down load pleased to have more helicopter setting

[geoffsmith]

Thanks for the SU12 housekeeping pointers Mark. Definitely seeing improved DX12 performance and details in the rendering. I'd say for me on RTX3060ti around 2fps. Sim loading seems a little quicker too. Trustt you are well and looking forward to Spring and longer days. Winter has definetely been too long and drawn out for me.

All I know is that I just switched to DX12 but kept TAA at 70% of my 4k res and deleted the shader cache and the performance is a lot better for me. DX12 did help smooth some things out.

[andyholmes]

Thanks Mark. Any sign of a manual for the AN-2. Couldn't find one in the folder etc. Bit hard all in Russian. Cheers.

[justintv]

dont know why but if i delete cache, and apply/save, when i open setting again cache is on OFF position

[rccosplay]

Luckily for me the SU12 Update caused no problems thus far, by that I mean the 4 hours I was on the sim last night was problem free. Load up times did not reduce significantly for me unfortunately. Oh well, No biggie as the sim is smooth as ever. BTW I forgot to empty the community folder nd still no problems at all. The FPS, stuttering and general smoothness of the sim is still the same... Absolutely perfect! By that I mean high FPS(with or without DLSS3) Practically NO stuttering! So all in all, though to be hones I can't see any changes from SU11 to SU12 I'm still happy as nothing broke.😂

I’m having some problems using dx 12 autopilot feature works when it wants to especially doing and I LS flight using the Tbm 930 and the vav button doesn’t work on cesna check 4 citation .maybe you could check it out and do a video on it or try it out and let me know if this is happening to you. I have my cashe file turned off do I still have to delete it if I’m not using it.

[wrongwayfeldman]

Hi guys, does anyone know why my rolling cache still won't work? it instantly goes to 100% & that's it, I have to restart the sim & it still won't work, I don't know what to do about that
