I installed the new AutoFPS that has been getting rave reviews and fired it up along with MSFS.  Took a flight in VR and my LOD seemed quite low, even though the sim was really smooth, I thought I could do with a bit more LOD and less FPS.  But, with Windows Mixed Reality, in VR the mouse is trapped in the VR window, while the AutoFPS screen sits on the desktop.  No way that I know of to get it to display in the VR headset, and anyway can't really use the keyboard with the headset on.

So I got to wondering if there's a config file and sure enough...  in AppData\Roaming\MSFS2020_AutoFPS there's a file called MSFS2020_AutoFPS.config that is editable in Notepad.

Changing the value of the line:  <add key="targetFpsVR" value="40" />  to a different value (I chose 25) results in the new figure being the value after a restart of the app.

I guess there would be other values that might need to follow this approach for VR flight, though I did note that the other values I had changed in the PC mode were changed for VR as well, so it's a case of trial and error at the moment.

Thanks for the tip.

If I need to make a change to a window outside of VR, I hit the Windows key on the keyboard and that releases the mouse from the VR window.

Of course you have to take the headset off.

Also, make sure to click on the VR window before putting the headset back on or your mouse wont work in VR until you do.

Well well well I never knew that.  Thanks for the tip it'll make a huge difference.  Pity that the coders of the WMR didn't include a list of tips like that.
