This is the complete settings guide for X-Plane 12. In this video, I will take through each graphic settings, and how it affects visual quality and performance. Also, I will provide you with recommended X-Plane 12 graphic settings for high, medium and low end machines based on hours testing the sim with difference settings. Please do note that X-Plane 12 in "Early Access" and things are subject to change. I will make updates to this settings video as and when necessary based on the evolution of the sim over time.

@putt3170 Год назад

Hey, i really need your help, my X-Plane 12 texture is very blurry, I already adjust the setting and it still doesn’t fix.

@EverydayNormalGeek Год назад

Great guide and explanation for graphics settings. The only thing that I find to be different for me is the use of VRAM for Texture Quality. I have a 3080 with 10GBs of VRAM and I don't get more than half of the VRAM usage when this slider is set to MAX. Even in dense city areas like London or New York, it doesn't go higher. Personally, I think there is no need to reduce this if you have 8GBs of VRAM or more.

@harry-tq6td Год назад

I have the 3080 as well and an i7 processor, I just cannot for the life of me seem to get a decent balance of the settings. Would you mind advising what settings you have selected?

@EverydayNormalGeek Год назад

@@harry-tq6td I have Texture Quality - High, Antialising - 2x MSAA, Rendering Distance - High, World Objects Density - High. All the other sliders are set to max (right side). Mind that I'm not rendering 4k so the load is a bit less for my GPU. Despite my comment above, I kept the Texture Quality to high because Vulcan is decreasing the resolution of textures to avoid filling up the VRAM. I would say if you are GPU bottlenecked try to reduce Vegetation and Shadows a bit, if you are CPU bottlenecked the World Objects are the main factor in CPU load. And if you are in 4K try to play with the FSR Supersampling slider to cut down on the load of the GPU.

@Pr3miuM Год назад

@itamarmoura4080 Год назад

Ótimo vídeo..me ajudou muito.

@bsewall Год назад

Thanks for the great video settings overview! There definitely seems to be something going on with M1 Macs and XP12. Even when I use your lowest settings with the XP12 Demo, I barely get 9 FPS. Comparing this to my XP11 setup with Orbx ortho scenery, custom KPDX scenery and many other add-ons, I have the graphics settings cranked up higher and can easily pull 30 FPS. Pretty disappointing how poorly this runs on Macs. Hopefully that will improve as we get closer to an official release of XP12.

@lorenzomanna4810 Год назад

Exactly!!!! XP 11 runs better and it runs on Rosetta Emulation, XP 12 is native and has worse performance, so disappointed

@aorr Год назад

I’ve been very disappointed with stuttering on an M1 Ultra Studio as well. The machine should easily handle XP with most settings maxed or almost maxed - yet I get nasty stutters with all of the settings adjusted lower. XP11 doesn’t have the issue at all. Fingers crossed it will be resolved. Because Austin is a Mac guy, I’m sure they’ll work on the Mac-specific bugs soon.

@wayneduchscherer4676 9 месяцев назад

I have a P6X58D Premium i7 930 plus MSI Geforce GTX 1050Ti & 24 GB Ram which worked great for XP 11.I followed your settings here for XP12 @ "low".Seems not bad,not great but O.K.Having been a Private pilot in Canada it still will work without spending a lot more for very little return on performance. Getting close to 25 FPS in several areas.Advice welcome from everyone.Thanks.

@LPChip Год назад

I found that disabling the check "Enable 3D vegitation" actually improves the performance quite a bit without any visual impact.

@papacharlie2841 Год назад

Thank you for the work of explaining all the settings! What is disturbing for me is that your high end PC renders about 30 to 45fps and not more. I remember in XPL11 with the default aircraft and high settings I had nearly double FPS and no stutters and now the performance has been cut in half basically.

@Q8Pilot Год назад

This is normal in Early Access. I remember the same issue in XP11 Early Access and pretty much MSFS for a long time after release. Things will be ironed out with time.

@Althar93 Год назад

This. They are going to have to optimise XPL12 a LOT before I consider moving across. I don't mind the blurry / wip cloud tech or some of the visual issues but the sim has to perform flawlessly, especially when compared to the hardware requirement of all the other flight sims on the market (MSFS, DCS, etc.) which run much better than this.

@airkibris001 Год назад

Thanks sharing capt. I have recently buy it and it really looks different in my system. I don't like it comparing xp11. It looks so dark. Additionally, I keep xp11 installed and I can't seperately adjust graphic settings for xp12 from Nvidia panel. Does anyone have idea about it? İs it normal? Should I remove xp11?

@tommyhandsome3003 Год назад

Hello Q8Pilot, thanks for the nice explanation like in all videos I saw in the last years. Question, It is possible create a video for nvidia-graphics settings in xplane12 some day, I guess it will help many simmers, including me 😀 By the way, your Intro of your videos is amazing (video&music)!!

@kreshnik Год назад

I have Ryzen 9 3950X 32gb ram and a 1080ti, In the same scenario as the video on everything low I get 40fps. Max I get 20 fps, but everything else I do it just stays around 30fps mark. I guess it needs more optimization as it seems most sliders don't really effect performance but they do the visuals.

@franksmoutimages4715 25 дней назад

Thank you for this video. At the moment I'm flying in XP12 with a Mac Mini M2 and 24Mb RAM. My graphics settings are the default. Regularly, in mid-flight, my mouse becomes uncontrollable and therefore the plane too. If I open another program it also behaves strangely. The computer does not seem to heat up abnormally. I'm going to start lowering the default settings as you recommend and see what happens. Good day. Frank. PS I flew with the Mustang P51-D from Verona to Innsbruch via the Adige Valley and the Brenner Pass.

I was watching your videos (as I always do) and considering the changes to my X-plane 12 settings when it dawned on me --- "HEY, wait a minute. I just upgraded to an RTX 4090, 32G DDR5 RAM and a 19-12900K CPU on a 2K monitor. Why am I being namby-pamby about this as if I were still using my Commodore 64?" Well, I just pushed those settings to the wall, and I tell you, I don't recall X-Plane looking so beautiful and being so smooth - 80-110 FPS. I don't mean to brag, but for once I listened to my kids who said, "Dad, stop being so cheap." What fun!!!!
