A few requests have come in for my graphics settings. This is what I’m using now, and note that it’s working very well for my rig. Your mileage may vary. Sorry I can’t post a screen shot at the moment …

• Visual Effects: One notch in from the right.
• Texture Quality: Full right.
• Antialiasing: One notch in from the right, and if clouds tank the frames I go down to FXAA.
• Draw Shadows: On if frames are above 20-25, off if below.
• Number of World Objects: One notch in from the right. If frames are very high, full right. If in SoCal, two notches in from right.
• Reflection Detail: Minimum – I don’t fly over a lot of water.
• Draw Parked Aircraft: On.

And while it’s not on this screen, I nearly always fly with AI aircraft off. They can really hit the CPU.
