I am doing the same, right now.

Let us know how it goes.

So far, except for the hoops you have to jump through, beyond the UI there seem to be very few differences besides certain things have been moved around, supposedly for ease-of-use purposes, that seem, almost for-the-heck-of-it, to defy decades of windows muscle-memory of where things should go and how they should workā¦

Havenāt tried it.
Smells like what Apple does with their phones.
Iām shocked MSFT hasnāt implemented a āsubscription modelā for every instance of Windows yet. Please donāt tell me this one is?
Itās supposed to be free. Supposedly.

By the way, anyone curious can type ātpm.tscā in their search bar to see if their security module is active.

Well I am wondering if Win 11 is any better for VR?
Well, I have a kind of theory on thatā¦
So far the only (possibly placebo) effect, is that win11 seems much snappier at multitasking.
Iām wondering what the synergys of this might be with the upcoming performance update on july 27thā¦
Iām also thinking about the new direct storage Xbox-Like memory modeā¦

Playing around even more, I notice that stutters seem to be completely (and I mean completely) gone.
Iām pretty picky about stuff like that, and even hints of stutters can set me off on an optimization hunt. I swear this time though, that even with me just about pressing my nose against the monitor looking for even the slightest judder/shudder/hiccup, Iām getting nothing.
Itās almost frighteningly smooth, because Iām not used to a flight simulator behaving like that, and years of experience are making me afraid it canāt possibly lastā¦
This is me over New York at ultra settings. Even the framerate is only varying up and down just very slightlyā¦
One wonders what I will get when the optimizations arrive on the 27thā¦

Actually. I realized that when Jorge was doing his demonstration of the potential fps benefits of the upcoming update, he probably quite deliberately used the most fps friendly plane in the sim.
By that criteria, (Albeit at 1440p rather than 4k) my system already matches him.
Will I really get that much better with the new update? I certainly hope so, for VRās sake, but the truth is, I suspect Iām probably already doing better than a lot of folks.

From what I understand, the optimizations are primarily on the CPU (main thread) side. So if you arenāt CPU limited, you wont really see a benefit from it. The instance they showed in the stream was entirely CPU limited so much so that GPU usage was only 70-75%, that meant there was roughly 25% improvement to be had. But if you are already GPU limited, I doubt youāll see anywhere near that same jump.
