I decided it was time to check my laptop cooling, so I opened it up and vacuumed out all the dust and cruft, this was blocking the heatsink vents. Just sitting at the Windows Desktop, the CPU was running around 65C, very hot. System Spec : Asus Rog Strix Gaming Laptop, Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU 2.6GHz, 32Gb PC2133 Memory, NVidia Geforce GTX1060 GPU with 6Gb Dedicated RAM, Samsung 970 EVO 1Tb NVMe SSD, (OS & Flight Sims), 1Tb 7200rpm SATA (all other stuff). CPU was thermally throttling, so frame rates were all over the place. Initial performance was really poor, with frame rates around 15-23fps EGBB Birmingham, with graphics set on Medium, AI Traffic dialed down to 10%, and clear skies. I have had this laptop for 2 years now and it's handled everything really well, but FS2020 is pushing it to its limits. I thought I'd share my experience with tweaking my laptop to run FS2020 with reasonable performance.
