Hey guys, could someone please help update this as i have checked the update box in the optimanager thou when i load the sim it still states 2.1.4 not 2.1.6.

thanks.

mike

It's just a bug, confirmed on their Discord. Should be fixed in 2.1.7.

Just wondering how much succes users are having with this. Is performance still an issue? Does it really look that much better? What are your experiences?

I've watched a number of Youtube videos and am not yet fully convinced. I'm also concened that some who have tried using dlss5 have had issues reverting back and completely messd up their msfs installations.

At the moment, I'm waiting for ASOBO to impliment it properly, but I fear that may be a long wait.

I think it looks great and the Optishade tool has made it so easy to try. I can still use my ReShade preset with it as well. No 'noticeable' performance hit for me BUT I lock at 30 fps and use 2x FSR inside the sim.

Like Flic, I've also been using it and it has created zero issues... When i dont use DLSS5 i simply use it for Reshade and love the option to toggle between 2 different presets with a push of a button...

Installation is super easy and so is uninstall... it creates a backup of anything it changes so leaves you with the same setup before installation...

The Dev updates often and listens to questions and suggestions... no regrets here!

Its working well also ,and looks amazing . Thou it's the update that is glitch for me as it states in the optimanager 0.21.6 thou when in sim and I pop it up .

It states 0.21.4 and needs updating.

Does this mean I have files still in Sim that have not been overwritten before when updated ?

Anybody else have this issue?

Thank you

Just installed optishade 0.21.6 and got an immediate CTD, I guess I now have to try to undo it.

Edit - a PC restart seems to have resolved. Now to check how it runs

Edit 2 - I dont see anything different in msfs after installing optiscaler and dlss5 files Do I need to do something else(I see something about presets but I don't have any or know how to create them)?

Not sure about Optiscaler... the below is for Optishade...

SO for it to work you do need to download Reshade presets from FSTO (https://flightsim.to/search?q=reshade&sim=msfs2024)

Choose one that you like.. there are many..

Once you are in sim and have started optishade, select the 'enable neural rendering' button to turn on DLSS5... you can set up an ON/OFF key in the settings (be sure to apply down the bottom of it wont stick)

An on screen notification will come up with NR On or OFF so you can immediately see the difference

oh, one last thing - be sure that you have downloaded all of the effects when you installed optishde... it should work now

Any issues just reach out!

When at the gate and flight loaded press "INS" then second tab neural rendering, enable DLSS neural rendering (left side)😜

I'm still on the fence on this. Toggling back and forth I can see a difference but, to me, it's not that big of a deal. My FPS drop from 120 ( 30 x 4) to 90 but no stutters so that's not an issue.

I guess I expected a big difference and got a subtle one. I'll keep playing around.

From what I've seenm the Optishade install is the easiest.

Hi All,

I try to update my optishade installer and I get these errors

Thank you in advance

Maybe post your LOG file on the Optishade Discord... you should get the assistance you need there from the devs
