UtilitiesSimulator Optimization

This section collects freeware simulator optimization tools for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, created by community developers from around the world. They help you get smoother frame rates, fewer stutters, and a better-looking sim without digging through menus or config files, from live Terrain LOD and Object LOD sliders you can adjust in flight to real-time optimizers that monitor VRAM, CPU, GPU, and frametime and adapt graphics settings automatically. Cleanup utilities clear cache and temporary files before launch, and launcher tools start the simulator together with your add-ons, companion apps, and preferred settings in one step. Visual tuning tools adjust the look of skies, clouds, lighting, and overall image quality to taste. Whether you are running a high-end system in VR or squeezing the most out of a modest PC, these utilities help you find the balance between performance and visual quality. All tools in this category are free to download.
