    recap: (prefered settings imo) building settings above medium have no effect (medium) tree settings above medium just adds more trees no change in tree quality (medium) grass settings just adds more grass (high) anti aliasing anything below taa is blurry mess (taa) terrain detail just adds more buildings and trees farther away (100 is fine) object level of detail just adds more defined shadows to objects but after 100 nothing changes (100) volumetric clouds settings just adds more detail to clouds (high) water waves make water resolution higher (high since doesnt effect fps) ambient occlusion gets darker every setting till high (medium) anisoptropic and supersampling make texture resolution higher further away (8x and 4x4) texture synthesis more defined textures again but doesnt really effect anything (low) shadow maps increase shadow accuracy (1024) terrain shadows (512) lens flare is cool (on) bloom (on) light shafts lights passing through clouds etc (med) windshield effects medium if you want performance ultra if you want the reflections of the cockpit as well contact shadows dont change anything (low) reflection creates more defined reflections (medium) depth of field just blurs everything and decreases fps (off) texture resolution (high)

    Settings that I find that doesn't have a major difference/can live with low or medium settings based on observation: • Texture Synthesis (>/= Low) • Terrain Shadows (Off or 128) • Windshield effects (>/= Medium) • Contact shadows (>/= Low) • Depth of Field (Low, but depends on your preference, I think this can complement the Render Scaling setting) • Ambient Occlusion (>/= Medium or High if it won't impact performance) • Shadow Maps (>/= 768) • Buildings, Trees, and Bushes (>/= Medium) • Texture Resolution (>/= Medium) Settings that I find that makes a major difference/must live with at least high: • Anisoptropic (>/= 16x) • Texture Supersampling (>/= 8x8) • Reflections (>/= High) • Volumetric Fog (>/= High) • Water Waves (>/= High) • Terrain Level of Detail (>/= 175) • Object Level of Detail (>/= 100) I find that these settings really make a difference or they pop out, so I'm not taking PC specs into consideration here EDIT: Terrain Shadows do make a huge difference if you'll mostly be flying on terrain, but doesn't make much of a difference if you are flying on cities kzread.info/dash/bejne/o4h9wbOhqc6-g7Q.html

    Absolutely phenomenal job with this video! This is what I call a true Direct comparison between the different graphic settings. I can only imagine how much time it took you to record the scenery 4 different times in exactly the same position as well as doing all the editing after. I've seen some of your other videos and you always put a lot of work into them and you deserve a lot more subscribers and recognition, this is one of my favorite videos when it comes to doing comparisons in general. This is, in my mind, a perfectly done video, because its exactly how I would want to see it being compared, literally pixel for pixel where you can follow the line and clearly see any and all of the differences, both big and small. So again, outstanding job with this video as usual :)

    I really didn't think even "Low" was bad, and I struggled to see any real difference between "Medium" and "High", nor between "High" and "Ultra." Maybe it's just my present monitor is just OK and not the best but, with my current setup, looks to me like "Medium" settings are hardly distinguishable from "Ultra", so "Medium" looks like the way to go.

    Qubie, you got it right. I had to test this, and I might release a video on this since there have been a few people saying different things about draw distance and buildings. Ultimately you get to keep the finer building details from a further distance when increasing the level from medium to high and ultra. Essentially you will keep the roof shape and objects around the building for distances that are almost impossible to see unless you are zoomed in with the drone zoom. Some people have said that the entire building will pop up at a closer distance if you have this set lower, however this is not the case. That is controlled by a different setting. I also tested that theory.

    Because there is no difference at close range from medium to ultra settings... Most people here like yourself are so focused on just the object itself and are missing that those settings also change the draw distance of the buildings from more far ranges. So if you choose high or ultra you will see objects at farther distances and with more detail.

    Very informative, the one thing I would have added to each one, is a frame rate counter, so we can tell the performance hit the different settings would cost. As we can see, many settings don't make a very big visual difference, but I bet some may hit frames pretty hard for little gain visually while others may gain visually but not cost much in frames.

Awesome, very useful content. Thanks again.

    What an excellent video, and a real eye opener for me. When I first loaded the sim the recommended settings were medium on my aging 1080ti, so I switched it up to high, but after watching this video its clear that the difference between medium and high is marginal, and that's with mostly static images, so probably even less so actually in-game. Ultra is quite a step up, especially on reflections and weather effects, as you'd expect, but maybe next year when I build my new rig. I feel so much better about medium settings now. Great job
