If you can offer any help in this regard it will be much appreciated.

We here at Working Title are first party developers on MSFS and thus bound by the same legalities; unfortunately as such I cannot assist.

My apologies!

Fair enough. Thanks for getting back to us and letting us know.

Test version 11 is working very well on both my view pc’s.

Happy camper here 😎

Don't shoot the messenger, but that my most recent understanding from reading the official forums.

It's allright. Well, in the sense that this has been well known for quite a while now. Thanks for your reply. 

@Reset XPDR I'll test #11 tomorrow.

RESET - On every image you have posted in the last couple days - I see a black screen with a tiny little icon in the center.  Clicking on the icon results in

All other images appear correctly - I really value and appreciate your work and would like to continue to view your posted images.

Is it something I did?

I notice that when the system load is up to my threshold of 95% GPU usage, the Clouds is being reduced as expected, but when the load falls below 75%, it never come back to High that is my target 

When GPU load reduces, or when I get out VR and get back in the VR Session, it never resets to High.

 

I always need to get inside MSFS settings and turn clouds to High again. 

Auto FPS are lowering this value but never getting it back to High.

 

 

I notice that the *.config file is already set for the correct value but I always need to enter in the MSFS settings to double check if the system doesn't turn down the volumetric clouds to medium or lower since the last VR session.

 before tjosFrom my extensive testing, and feedback from others trying out the test builds to date, the new and updated features are working quite well and reliably, so I am getting close to putting out a release candidate.

I am late into my second two-hour plus flight today with test v11 and all has gone well (perfect).  Flying with addon airports, Hjet, IFR.  First TO from Kansas CIty with both airport and cityscape scenery addons, into Baltimore with greatly equal addon characteristics.

That said, if I Alt-tab out of MSFS, perform some non-sim related tasks, Alt-tab back in, insure v11 is on top and FPS has adjusted, my FR is lower. Usually very close to my target.  ex. seeing 88-90 fps before, 58-60 after.  Again AutoFPS clearly on top.  Otherwise the FR is half of that.  Sim still very smooth.  But...  FR was 88-90.  I believe this occurred with both flights.

Thanks for the detailed description of the issue, which I will look into. I usually use the same Auto TLOD automation method and GPU load triggered cloud deactivation method as you do and I don't have that issue, which may make it a bit harder to find. It would be very helpful if you could send me the log file of a flight where it occurs so I can see what's happening. Thanks.

I am still using my Discord server to host the images that I link in here and nothing has changed as far as I am aware. Perhaps try copying the image link from an offending image and open it in another browser. I'll re-post a recent image for you to try: 

Here it is as a link:

AutoFPS just echoes the FPS that MSFS is telling it that it is getting, so the the only thing I can think of is that your TLOD automatically is higher in the screenshot you posted than it was before. I notice Mtns+ is activated in this screen shot, allowing your TLOD to go up to 800. Was it 800 in the earlier situation? A screenshot of that earlier situation would be helpful. Also if you can post the log file of that flight. Thanks.

Still during the flight I fully closed the app and the restarted.  Here is what is returned by the app.

Your TLOD Min Extra is still seeking in that screen shot. You need to wait until it has finished and your TLOD has adjusted up/down to the current conditions before you can make a valid comparison.

Oh and by the way, your OLOD settings have the same OLOD at base and at top, so the OLOD values will never actually change. Are you aware of that?

Regarding exactly when you are going into the MSFS settings and changing it back to medium, are you still in your flight with AutoFPS running when you do so? If you are doing it then, the cloud setting will not permanently stick because AutoFPS is managing it at that time and will restore what it thinks is your default cloud quality setting based on when it started, not what you changed it to mid-flight. This could possibly be why you are experiencing this issue.

The upshot of this is that if you want to change your default settings with AutoFPS running you need to be in the main menu of MSFS and NOT in a flight. If you are in a flight, you need to exit the AutoFPS app completely, make the MSFS setting change then restart AutoFPS.

Also, I know this sounds obvious but it is easy to not do correctly, when changing your MSFS settings for VR make sure you are looking at VR settings (like your screenshot) and that you are not inadvertently making changes to PC mode  view that it defaults to if you change settings while in PC mode.

How do I determine it is still seeking?

From the status line, as circled in red. The new TLOD Min Extra functionality takes around 1 minute from AutoFPS detecting you are in a flight for the seek process to complete. Then, if you started AutoFPS, in the air it will take another minute or so until it settles on the right TLOD / FPS balance.

In short, just wait a couple of minutes until everything has sought and automatically adjusted before worrying about FPS readings.
