to gain performance check or uncheck ssao???
 

now with the beta patch and the new video options i have to ask this stupid question.should i check or uncheck the box of ssao to gain performance???

Uncheck!

thx for that really quick answer.i appreciate that as you are certainly eager to test the patch as much as me.thx

Do I loose quality uncheking it?

SSAO is an effect that is best used for games that use tight spaces (Shooters, MMO's, etc.).

I doubt the graphical impact is big in a flight sim. Certainly not worth the extra GPU Shader complexity.
