It seems we are going from higher performance and drop in visual quality, to the other way totally and higher quality and slower rendering and straining the system with higher ring dims. Everyone likes different things of course.
Problem lies with it being a really old engine, yet people's hardware getting more and more powerful. It's not actually a problem, that's the wrong word, but surely with the power we have available, some things can be tweaked for better performance and/or better visuals.
I have spent the last 10 years tweaking FSX for the best available performance, and when I first fired it up (day1) I'm sure people who used it back then remember the blurry textures, horrific autogen etc. Now, in P3D I'm able to use 99.9% of all my FSX addons with an absolute stack of AI planes flying round the world in beautiful smooth 4K with fantastic performance.
My mind would have been blown if you had a time machine and shown me what my PC would be capable of 10 years down the line.
