So its only fair that you share your 2020 settings for IFR...  🙂

They are pretty much the same, except I have decrease cloud quality checked as this seems more effective in 2020. Ignore the target FPS as it is what I set to match the FPS cap I use for the cruise phase when back in PC mode, to keep my system running quiet and cool. This works well for the many Concorde flights I do in many locations around the world.

Hello, 

I try to install the latest version of AutoFPS for MSFS2024 but get this message while installing.

The MobiFlight event module is in my Community folder installed. What can I do ?

Thx, Stefan

 

Did you once have 2020 installed and have uninstalled it? If so, there are remnants of 2020 still on your system, which is enough to make AutoFPS think 2020 is still installed and try to put mobiflight in there but not enough to locate the community directory, which is found at the bottom of the UserCfg.opt file, to extract the files to.

If you are not using MSFS 2020 any more, the simplest solution is to delete the remnant 2020 files which for Steam are located in %appdata%\Microsoft Flight Simulator and for MS Store in %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe. Only delete these if you do NOT have MSFS 2020 installed any longer, otherwise you will have to reinstall the entire MSFS 2020.

Hey, and thanks for your quick response!

I previously had a version from another author installed, but I never used Auto FPS in MSFS2020. However, I do have both MSFS2020 and MSFS2024 installed. The version I had installed could only be deleted manually, as it was not listed in Windows Programs.

Where exactly should I look for leftover files? And what do you mean when you say that if I delete these files, I would have to reinstall MSFS2020?

I just want to make sure that the latest version of AutoFPS is correctly installed for MSFS2024.

Latest stable version is here https://github.com/ResetXPDR/MSFS_AutoFPS/releases

If necessary, you can uninstall the previous version:

Thx, I already downloaded the latest stable version. However I cant install it and got the message shown above. I cant uninstall the previos version via the installer cause i had a different version installed.

Allright, so it's possible that you've got the version from the other developer installed. I'll see if I can find the .exe for that one - hopefully you can use that to uninstall. I think that version is not being developed at the moment.

Try downloading this .exe from kayjay1c6b, then uninstall.

0.4.4.6 is the latest stable version - so that's looking good! If you were able to uninstall kayjay's version, then just go ahead and install Reset's 0.4.4.6. 

 I just installed the kayJay version but why and how can i uninstall it ?

 

Okay i was able to uninstall the kayJay version after installing but still cant install MSFS AutoFPS 4.4.6. Got the same error message

Since you are still using MSFS 2020, do not delete anything. Can you tell me what the last line on your MSFS 2020 UserCfg.opt file is. The file is located in %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache for an MS Store install and %appdata%\Microsoft Flight Simulator for a Steam install.

It should look something like:

InstalledPackagesPath "C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\Packages"

Then go to that folder location and tell me if it exists.

You should be able to run the same installer again and be presented with a Remove option.

Regardless, having kayjay's app installed only impacts my version if you try to run them both at the same time, otherwise my app doesn't care, including the installer.

I seems that kayjay didn't include an uninstall option:

Hence, I suppose this issue extends a bit beyond this thread. Or as Gandalf would have said:

This foe is beyond any of us. Run!

The UserCfg.opt file in my MSFS2020 last line is: InstalledPackagesPath "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages"

And YES that folder location exists
