Hey all! 

Does anyone know yet how this tool will get impacted, if at all, with the new LOD system seen in the latest SU3 Beta?

I haven't tried it yet as I am not on the SU3 beta on my development PC, but will likely give it a try soon.

Does anyone know what it is actually supposed to be doing? The only mention of it I can find in the SU3 Beta release notes is for 1.5.13.0 which says:

Quote

Modified the new LOD curve to keep a parabole over Screen Size 100% and activated the new curve by default

From what I have read of users' experience with this feature, it seems to increase LODs on the ground, which is the opposite of what AutoFPS normally does and will likely have a negative performance impact as a result. 

As SU3 is still be constantly changed, I will keep an eye on how this new feature pans out and whether AutoFPS can work with it or if it needs to be auto disabled when AutoFPS is running due to conflicting control, like AutoFPS currently does with the Dynamic Setting.

BitDefender is blocking me from downloading the latest version of MSFS_AutoFPS from GitHub.  It says the .exe install file is infected and it immediately quarantines then deletes it.  This is the first version this has happened for, so don't know what's changed.

Here's the report from BitDefender:

An infected file attempted to run on your device.

Threat name: Gen:Variant.Mikey.179931

Path: /Users/alexberry/Downloads/MSFS_AutoFPS-installer-v0.4.5.1.exe

We deleted the file to prevent malicious commands from being executed on your device.

I was able to download the source code Zip file OK and within that I found the files needed to run the app (after scanning with BitDefender).

You are the first to report this with just over 8500 downloads of 0.4.5.1. The last major change to the installer was made back at 0.4.4.10 when it was updated to .NET 8.0 and there were no installer changes between 0.4.5.1 and 0.4.5.0, so I am not sure why it is suddenly being detected by BitDefender as infected.

I am glad you got it up and running by manually installing the app. It would be helpful if you report to BitDefender that this was a false positive, so that it doesn't happen for yourself and perhaps others with future versions.

There must have been some change in the WW signature identification profiles recently. Have seen this happen to downloads from multiple developers who have had no issues previously.  Some mysteries.  Some of us on the REX Discord reported similar issues about 10 days ago while others did not experience the issue.  My protection is Malware Bytes and others using it fell on both sides of the experience, some affected, some not.  Go figure.  And it was not the only protection showing similar experiences, +/-.

I quit using Auto FPS with the latest Beta build. The Dynamic Settings turned “On” now works very well. I could not find a happy medium between visual fidelity and performance at ground level even with using Auto FPS. The revisions to the LOD Curves really caused performance issues for me when below 1,000 feet AGL, but above that all was good. But with Dynamic enabled, everything looks fantastic at ground level while maintaining FPS. It’s still early with this build so more time in the air could change my perspective, but this where it stands for now. 

Update: I quit using the MSFS Dynamic Settings in SU3 Beta and reverted back to Auto FPS which is working much better than the Dynamic setting now. Since we lack visibility to server side changes, who knows when and what changes Asobo is making.

Sir it would be nice if you incorporated the auto fps for traffic also if possible .??

 

Thank you

Traffic airport quality and air traffic are already included in the settings reduction suite for MSFS 2024.

I am still on SU2 but trying out 4.5.2 Test1. Not sure if I should be using it without beta3 right now. Its having trouble changing OLOD or TLOD at times, or reverting back.

4.5.2 Test1 only has minor changes that should not affect normal TLOD and OLOD automation functionality with either SU2 or SU3 beta, but anything is possible with software. Private message me the section of content in your log file, located in %appdata%\MSFS_AutoFPS\log, relating to this behaviour and I will take a look. You have to copy paste as you can't attach files here.

Just some minor fixes I stumbled across that probably only affect very few users, as follows:

• Fixed TLOD reducing to 10 and staying there if settings reduction was active and Max TLOD Halved at Night was enabled when transitioning from night to day.
• Doubled offset module base search range for MSFS 2024 to 32MB to improve likelihood of finding the correct offset in the event of many sim updates having occurred since the app was last used.
• Changed MSFS 2024 offset search to restore the default offset module base in the config file if the search fails, in case the user had modified it beyond searchable range.
• Fixed app version not being saved as the current version in the config file with last compatibility test pass entries.
• Fixed app version not being shown as the current version in the log file on startup.

 

Just find a kind-of-competitor for MSFS2020 (only) https://flightsim.to/file/95050/aerotunemfs that has been released 2 days ago on flightsim.to

No misunderstanding: I'm a satisfied user of MSFS Auto FPS and just wanted to bring attention to Reset XPDR. In french, we say "just in case it might be helpful".

Is anyone else seeing the same issue I am where the app works perfectly until I land at a busy airport and invariably, the FPS dips below the target and the app reduces the TLOD/OLOD settings (as you’d expect) but then once FPS stabilizes above the target, the app does not change the TLOD/OLOD. They are stuck in a red lower value state?

This is annoying for touch and go as I need to reset the app after every landing to get it to work properly again.

Are you in expert mode?  If so, what is your recovery altitude set at?

Interesting.  Thanks for the heads up.  I'll probably try it later today and report any findings.
