Microsoft Flight Simulator Version 1 20 6 0 - 1070 GPU

No Music.. No Talking.. With my old Logitech Z313 (https://amzn.to/3BPukmW) Sub-woofer on the desk behind the monitor, I get a nice rumble through the desk mounted CH Yoke as I take a quick fly over Meigs field Airport, Soldiers Field, Field Museum of History, Shedd Aquarium, Buckingham Fountain, CNA Center, Sears Tower, 311 South Wacker building (a no name 65 floor post modern skyscraper finished after I was long gone from the Chicago area) and off for a flight down OLD I-90 Eisenhower and out to O'Hare Airport for a landing... This city brings back so many memories for me..In my early twenties I was a yellow cab driver while working the trucking docks.. burrrr, those winters... so much has changed.. and still remains the same..

Once again, I haven't even looked at MSFS for some time. I noticed the Version 1.20.6.0 came out in the middle of October, so I was off to download 80plus GB to get all caught up. On first launch, I was quite happy that my old GTX1070 was staying in the 80-90F(new 32 inch 165hz Monitor ) range, with an occasional hiccup down to 60F and the game just looked great. When I last left, I was disappointed that my Co-Pilot could not hit a runway anymore. But, I see he is back to his old self again .. at least for the few airports I tried... I really need to get back into this lovely game. I usually play in VR, but I had to try out my new monitor too... oh it looked great with a slight curve and 32 inches.. my old eyes are happy I made the change from my 24 inch monitor.. :)

Although the Monitor has"Freesync Premium", it seems to be "not supported" by the Nvidia G-Sync for "me". When Freesync is on, The Nvidia program has the option for G-Sync come up, but when this monitor is selected, the Nvidia program says not supported? seems to have no effect either way.. Freesync on or off.. no worries.. my old GTX1070 is still breaking into 170-180F at moments.. averaging 173 in another benchmark program..which is a boost from my 144hz monitors.

Remember.. My flight videos are how "not" to fly.. but still have fun.. I just put these up for me to look back on.. they are not always something people may like.. and I am "ok" with that.. Enjoy
