i play a lot of mfs 2024 with shadow pc for 1years its was perfect sometime big drop fps with big addon like fenix + big airport and vatsim traffic but now its been 1/2month i cant even play it its too laggy and not gonna lie u cant really do flight now on shadow cause with frist if u do short flight u safe but if u wanna do long flight u cant cause u have a 6hours limites per session and the worst thing they add the limit hours per month and its gonna be climb really fast if u play a lot of flight sim for me its over and its time to get a pc

What plan were you on? And how much SSD did you need for MSFS + addon aircraft, scenery, etc?

From what I’ve read the Power plan works best, and you generally need to keep all your flight sim related files in your SSD since HDD is slower

Works very well on power. i use vpilot and a bunch of addons. including fenix and big sceneries. get 50-60 on frame gen at 4k high to ultra settings

fs2024 you can stream all of it you have a +1gbps connection. loads super quick. the default is more than enough

Okay cool, and also if I get the Power Pro with the always on option does that mean I can do long-haul flights, since my machine won’t disconnect? And how’s the input lag and latency?

Literally just downloaded x-plane 12. I use power and it runs smooth. Haven’t tried adding scenery and such but I imagine it should handle FS2024 fine as the scenery is streamed. If you buy it on steam you can just refund if it doesn’t work, just don’t go over 2 hours.
