MSFS employs Global Illumination (GI), a rendering technique that enhances lighting, shadows, and reflections. To optimize GI, adjust the “Shadow Map Quality” and “Ray Tracing Quality” settings. For detailed shadows, set “Shadow Map Quality” to “High” or “Ultra.” For realistic reflections, enable “Ray Tracing Quality” and set it to “High” or “Ultra.”

Performance Insights

MSFS leverages temporal upscaling to improve visuals while maintaining performance. “Render Scaling” adjusts the resolution for enhanced clarity. For optimal balance, set “Render Scaling” to “80” or “100.” “TAA Sharpening” further enhances image quality. Reduce aliasing and shimmering by adjusting the “TAA Sharpening” slider to your preference.
