Microsoft Flight Simulator Tips and Guides - Controls and Settings
837The new sim has finally landed, and what a ride it has been. A lot has changed over the years (or even days) so I present an in-depth look at the Options found in the new Microsoft Flight Simulator.
What does each section control? How does it impact my sim? How do I cache my scenery offline? How do I set up my controls? What setting has the biggest impact on my sim performance? All these questions and more answered here!

Even between the version I was previewing and the release version just days later there have been quite a few changes, so let's go on a deep dive into the Options menu and all the changes there. If you are a flight sim veteran or a fledgling aviator, this guide goes through all the key points and gives some advice on how to get the most out of your new adventure experience!
