Unfortunately the Fenix is unusable for me in 2024 at the moment. Even at a rural remote default airport it uses an insane amount of VRAM and my FPS is halved from what I had with MSFS 2020 on any payware scenery (e.g. 2020: 40 FPS, 2024: 20 FPS). I don't understand why - I was using DX12 already on 2020 so there shouldn't be such a huge difference. Also no idea why others seem not affected at all. Anyone got any idea?

For me the only bugs are.. 1)No liveries. 2) Sluggish EFB and contol responses and 3)You have to start the Fenix app before you fly because my sim wont autostart it. Apart from that, the experiment is over. It works thank God. EDIT. No somethings not quite right. Just had a failed flight EGGD to EGPH. Autopilot lost its mind.

Similar experience. It works except that it stopped responding after about one hour of flight in a strange way. The flight controls were fine, but the power and any other levers and switches, including landing gear, did nothing. The aircraft then stalled and crashed on final.

I have the Throttles set up now but can somebody tell me what flaps setting I should use please? Flaps are working on all default planes but not the latest Fenix ones, I have the Thrustmaster TCA Airbus currently set up as "Joystick LaxisZ. The Master Warning states Flaps not in T,O, Config and also Slats (?) not in T,O, Config

As Aamir has stated here before, only parts of the Fenix FM are outside the sim's core engine

Thanks for the clarification.

Please, PMDG release buggy betas all the time and call it a release candidate. How many updates has the 737 in MSFS had again? And how long did we wait for the tablet that apparently was in development for over a year when in reality it was done over a weekend and very basic?

OK, sure you are right, their products are really betas imitating release candidates. Not going to argue with you because regardless, that is still very different to releasing they confirmed is broken, not having the tools to troubleshoot yet and releasing it as experimental with no support.  Significantly different!

Fenix decisions and communication is a huge plus in our hobby. They are excellent in what and how they provide content. 

Thanks Fenix for being here!

A great addition to our hobby indeed, them and FBW especially with FSL yet to even release a bus!!

Apparently it's not writing LVAR values yet. Tried to read data from the sim but nothing ever moves. Lights, parking brakes, etc, all LVARs are always default.

I'll try messing up with nVidia settings for the sim, i use the monitor for a lot of stuff and didn't really want to change them. Thanks for the tip!

I hear that.

All I do is take the "Black Equalizer" setting down on my OLED monitor three notches. There are 20 to 0 increments with 10 being the default for the Gigabyte Aorus FO48U OLED monitor. For MSFS 2024 I've set it to 7 from 10. Now night flights in MSFS 2024 look great. Out of the box, the blacks were worse that the worst LCD monitor you could imagine.

For the three years I've had the monitor, I've never had to adjust this for any title including MSFS 2020. Would it kill them to to have a gamma calibration setting in-game like almost every other title?

Which interaction mode are you using ("lock" or "legacy")?

I find the Airbus push-pull knobs to be pretty fiddly in "lock" mode. If this is what you're using, maybe try "legacy" instead? (I believe this is in the settings under "Accessibility".) 

 

That fixed it. Thanks.  Its Actually under General / Flight Interface / Cockpit Cameras / Cockpit Interaction Systems set to Legacy.

Installed and used last night.

I am using my original A320 purchase because I never purchased the 319 and 321 upgrades.

Made the throttle calibration with success. It's the same as in FS 2020.

Did a circuit around LPPT and I did notice something different in the handling, both on ground and inflight, to the better !

No quirks with performance - runs smoothly all of the time, although I will later tick the options to turn off cabin lights and details - have no use for that ...

I am now willing to try it out with FSHUD but will opt for default liveries with FSHUD because I am not willing to go FSLTL or AIG right now ( never tried AIG ).

So far so good, other than the surprises with Control Settings 😕

Just had a fault free and enjoyable flight EGGD to EGPH with the Fenix. 
 

I do have an issue which has carried over from 2020. The AC ESS FEED fault indication is constantly lit on the overhead panel. It does not seem to affect the flight and no fault shows in the EFB or FMC.  I've tried everything in both sims to no avail. I've fully reinstalled including deleting the c:\ProgramData\Fenix folder and done maintenance but it persists. If anyone has any ideas they would be much appreciated.

Last night I flew the A319 in 2020. At 4x simrate, I saw it behave beautifully in both climb and cruise. Now I can finally do longer flights without any issues.

I think I found the reason. 

Texturen settings give you higher resolution than in MSFS. 

So what was high in MSFS is now Medium. 

The first indication was how much more crisp everything looks at a similar setting. 

I used high in both Sims and now went down to Medium, which gives me a far less performance problems.

I didn't find it any crisper than MSFS2020, just the same. So I won't go down to medium. What I found out, however, is that the Ractraced Shadows options cost me a whooping 3 GB VRAM. So I turned that off (since I'd never notice the effects anyway unless specifically looking for it) and now performance is almost at the levels of 2020 with the Fenix.

That's the next factor. 

Especially in cloudy conditions and at night raytracing tanks performance.
