Determining the bottleneck in X-Plane 12 

Your explanations are clear, concise, and clear of drama/opinions. Very factual, thank you! Keep em coming! (lord knows I need help getting this sim to run optimally!)

Thanks. That is indeed a simple method.

Always learning, in as easy as possible way, with your videos and tutorials! Thank you Michael!

Thanks Michael. That’s really helpful. Appreciate your efforts

Very well explained. Thank you.

Xplane is the bottleneck :)

Good, thank you.

Thanks Michael, clear concise instructions as always. Really enjoy your videos. Will you be doing a video on good gaming laptops that will give good performance for XP12?

Thanks. I found out that my CPU and GPU are both equally weak for the task. Oh well. Larger upgrade incoming.

This is great thank you. So should you be trying to balance this so the load on cpu anf gpu is shared?

What do the two numbers f-act and f-sim relate to Michael?

Hi from Canada Michael. Im just getting set up for xplane 12. Not for a graphics experience so much but for flight training. Planning to use 2 touchscreens with air manger for instruments and 1-3 screens with 32inch 1080p. What would you recommend for a computer setup? Im guessing the minimum recommendations wont be enough. Thanks. Ben

It would be helpful to understand the CPU and GPU in the computer you are showing benchmarks from. Are you able to share?

Anistrophic filtrering DO require a game restart to work or have an impact on sim. Even say so on the description

Hey Michael, both my 9900k and RTX 4070 are not being utilised 100%, GPU is at 50% and processor at 10ish %, any idea?

I've yet to be able to get this sim to run above 20k ft on all setting on minimum, in any airplane. lowest res possible, like 720 lol. Still stutters like a time bomb.

I tought the left part of the GRAPHIC SETTING was more related to the CPU

How can I lower the CPU, which controllers would that be? That’s my bottleneck CPU.
