My other go-to sim. The settings and tweaks I use on stream.

As of 20/04/2026 | RTX 5090 with OBS. Your mileage may vary.

Nvidia upscaling

Optional. Anti-aliasing at 1080p in X-Plane isn’t great, so DSR renders at a higher resolution and scales it down.

  1. Open the Nvidia Control Panel.

  2. Go to Global Settings, then DSR Factors.

  3. Enable 1.78x and 2.25x DL, then hit Apply.

  4. In X-Plane, set the resolution to match the upscaling factor. I rotate between 2560×1440 and 2880×1620.
