If you don't know what the developer setting does, here you go...shamelessly nicked from reddit

There is a button at the bottom of the main settings menu in MSFS called "Developer Mode" and it enables several amazing settings that can enhance your gameplay.

In-game plane switcher (Asobo please make a proper UI option for this)
-Sometimes planes take a while to load, be patient

Ability to instantly teleport to any airport in the world
Detailed FPS info including whether your FPS is limited by your GPU or CPU
Developer Camera
Direct links to the installer for the SDK and example projects
Ability to create a new mod project from directly in the sim
A huge amount of debug options including developer console
Probably a lot more that I haven't even found yet.
When you enable Developer mode a menu will appear at the top of the screen with all of these options.

If you like the Airbus A320 neo and want to learn how to fly it within FS2020 i highly recommend this guys youtube channel:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAILTiWNai7Y2zsO8ECFxcA

He is a real life A320 pilot, some of his videos compare the sim to the real life A320 but a lot of them are tutorials on how to fly it in the sim, very clear and easy to understand tutorials.
