I don’t seem to require or benefit much from super resolutions either. Almost 70 year old eyes have their limits.

Yes, I am in my 60s as well, and I now have to wear reading glasses when using a laptop. The full 1920x1080 resolution does help to see the gauges on my little laptop screen.

About 20 years ago I purchased the King Schools IFR course and $8000 in new radios and a King KLN89B GPS and was going to work on my IFR rating. But everything went sideways and I eventually sold all the new equipment that I bought. And the whole IFR thing went on the back burner. But I would like to get going on that again, plus I have a couple of young friends that are hoping to get into flying professionally and I would like to help them out.

I have been experimenting all morning with the additional memory. The biggest advantage is that I can turn up the graphics settings and the program does not crash while starting up or flying. I had to downgrade the Ryzen drivers to get FS2020 to run at all; I am going to see if the extra RAM might also make it possible to use the latest drivers.
