The one thing I've seen that will cause problems is if I turn on AIGTC and have it set to inject traffic at 100%. I've lowered it to 70% and this flight has been fine. It's busy at KBWI at 6 AM on a Friday morning.

I'm very happy at the moment. My last 10 flights or so in the FBW, PMDG 737, and now the Fenix A320 have all been incredible. There's still room for improvement, but I finally feel like I've got a solid sim that I don't have to screw around with for 2 hours every time I want to take a 1-1/2 hour flight. Now I can hop onto Flightaware, pick basically any flight with a flight duration that I want, get into Simbrief, pick the correct airframe (!!!),  and hit go. Once in the sim, everything just works (except for those stinky bridges that just ruin the entire... wall that holds water back... thing). 🙂

This is the best Flight Simulator experience ever!

I find the balanced setting to be quite a nice compromise, and it should increase performance on average by 7-10 fps according to Fenix. 

Thats a huge increase, thank you, will try that, not that am having problems but, I like to have headroom. 7-10 FPS boost is huge.

Do they look a lot diffrent on "balanced"?

Interesting info. 

For me:

• onboard graphics rendering the displays

• Fenix displays set to PERFORMANCE

That's on a I9 9900K (4,7ghz I think), 1080ti, 32G, 1440p and only a few settings set to ULTRA in MSFS.

Looks like I need to do some more tweaking.

Hey David, I just used your new checklist for the flight I'm at FL400 in now. Worked great! There were a feww items I just couldn't find, but I haven't turned an airplane into a pile of twisted metal without knowing where they were before so I just pressed on...

Dang. As I was typing this reply, I started getting alarms, horns, buzzers, flashing lights, and an AP disconnect. 

Mental note: When flying a 737 route in an A320... Service ceiling matters. Who knew?

The gauges detoriate quite much on my 4K screen, even on "Balanced" the digits start to blur. "Performance" is not acceptable tbh, looks like FXAA antialising from FSX/P3D days.

Like I wrote in the main Fenix-thread, for those of us who have onboard GPU (not applicable to F-models on Intel), activate it in BIOS if you haven't already, and update latest drivers. Re-boot and put these puny chips to work and let them render the displays. My performance woes are over.

Even at 1440p, they look pretty bad if not set to QUALITY.

Your not type rated mate........../slap, its not the FBW 🙂 Take your time 🙂

Enjoy! 👍

I was hoping for, they look fine....nvm, thanks for info.👍

I did that. Then somebody from Ops sent me a message making me send an ADC excuse. And I was only 1 minute late getting off of the stand! I used code "OTH" and then put "Pilot is a dufus" in the free text field.

I wonder if Fenix gets these? lol

Process Lasso is your friend,

Fenix works really well with tuned 9700K…

O btw this walk throught as you know is a lot diffrent to the FBW, 🙂 Horses for courses. I know you have waited a long time for this, I hope you really enjoy it. I really do.

Let's put it this way...Performance or balanced looks worst than the FBW for ME. 

So it is possible to have the integrated GPU (in my 12900K) doing the flat screens, and my 3080 rendering everything everything else to the same monitor at the same time?
I never knew this was possible.  Seems like a novel solution to help performance.  Has any other developer implemented something like this?

They looked alright to me on "performance" at 1440p 27". When in balanced I was only getting 18-24 fps, now I get 30 fps VSync. I did also change Nvidia power settings to Max Performance when running MFS so that could've been the cause too, but I'm minded to think it was the display rendering.

I wonder if turning of the FO's displays with the dimmer switch would help things?

It is. I've got them running off of my integrated Intel 630 GPU. I have it set to quality, and they look great to me. I'm running 3440x1440.

I've switched it to my 20280ti but I really didn't notice any changes so I moved it back. I have no idea if it makes an FPS difference. The "new me" has implemented a frame counter moratorium and I just don't care. The sim is smooth. A few minor stutters here and there, but that's normal for a sim. IMO
