It happened here yesterday, fortunately I had my community backed up earlier yesterday.

Do that and your Community folder is AWOL

The Community folder

I copied my Community folder to a safe place, then uninstalled FS2024 via XBox, reinstalled via the same route and that was it. Only had to reset my graphic settings and put my saved Community folder back to where it belonged

Problem has been solved. Thanks everybody for your tips, hints, advises, lectures etc. Alas none of them resulted in a resolution. However, uninstalling and reinstalling FS2024 did the trick. All is back to normal again, my temperatures are back to what they were under SU4. Blue skies, Hans

Solved. I finally found the easy solution to this re-install question 🙂

Yes, I understand, but going as hot as almost blowing up the GPU is a bit too much. In the meantime I saw in the Discord channel of Fenix that more users are running into this problem.

Thanks, but all seems to be fine temps-wise with the desktop. And wouldn't be a sheer coincidence if the day before updating to SU5 all was fine and right after the time I fired up FS2024 and SU5 all went haywire? Good thinking, though, but fortunately it is not the PSU that is acting up here. I exclusively use the Fenix aircraft so I for once tried one of the stock airbuses to eliminate the idea that it might be the Fenix aircraft that are to blame. No cigar, also the stock A320 is cooking 🙂 There is another user in this very thread who also is experiencing these high temperatures. Anyway, I will reinstall FS2024 as soon as I know how to do so without having to sit and wait for hours to see the installation running.

I will try a reinstall of fs2024 once I found the thread that described how to do so or after a fellow member tells me how to accomplish this. It's a gut feeling that the culprit might be a corrupted part in the simulator. Like you, I had temps varying between 51 and 60, depending on the density of the scenery etc. in SU4. Yes, weather is a bit warmer but not all that much. All fans are running as they should. Of course I will post a message after I found what have caused this "undocumented feature".

Thank you, but it was already set to 30fps. Even at this fps the temperatures are coming very close to the maximum allowed temperature for my video card.

Already been set to 30fps

I have got a very fast internet connection and my FS2024 is a Store one. I remember a Norwegian member once posted a thread on how to re-install FS2024, but alas, I cannot find that thread anymore.

Despite having been searching this forum thoroughly, I couldn't find the thread in which it was explained how to reinstall FS2024 in a fast way. Can one of you please point me into the right direction or even inform me how I can reinstall fs2024 fastest? Thanks a lot, Hans

Also an empty Community folder wasn't helpful. Still very high temperatures on my GPU. I will reinstall FS2024, if I can find the thread in this forum that takes me by the hand and helps to perform a fast re-install.

About the same as what I am experiencing. I haven't tried, yet, to run FS2024 with an empty Community folder. I guess I will have to do a re-install of FS204 if an empty Community folder doesn't solve the problem

Happy for you 🙂 But as stated, mine are unacceptable and would love to find out why this is.

Since upgrading from SU4 to SU5 on my desktop GPU temperatures go sky high. Where I had temperatures between 55C and 60C at average with SU4, lowest GPU temperature under SU5 now is 63, during flights this goes up to 67-68 and while approaching a runway (in this case LEMD 32L) temperature went up to 81C, where 85C is max allowable for my NVidia RTX3070 card. I have been deleting all shader caches, rolling cache also was deleted, and yet these high temperatures. None of my FS2024 SU4 settings were changed and I simply cannot think of a reason why these GPU temperatures went ballistic. I hope someone here in this forum can give me a hint that might lead to return of my pre-SU5 GPU temperatures. Thanks a lot for any help. Hans

I used to do so, too. Disadvantage of it (deleting dx and gx caches) is, that all my custom camera views, I uniquely use the Fenix aircraft, went up in smoke as well. I got a tad fed up by over and over again producing new custom views 🙂 Hence my question.

Just a bit off-topic. Is it necessary to empty the DX- and GX caches prior to installing a new NVidia-driver? Thanks, Hans

Thanks for this information. In the meantime I found a video on YouTube that also showed me how to configure the lower panels in POM.

Hi Doug, it didn't work. When I select a view in which I can view the entire MIP. POM changes it back to the default/startup MIP Fenix. Tomorrow I will continue to try and find a way around this.

Thanks very much. I'll give that a go tomorrow.

So far I am very happy with this Popout Manager, however, I haven't found a way yet to get Fenix' Lower Eicam configured. Are the upper displays the only ones configurable in Popout Manager. If not, how should I go about configuring the Lower Eicam? Thanks for any help.

I did use FS2Crew long time ago but then switched to FSFO (Flight Simulator First Officer), which I still am using (For Fenix A320, FBW A320). FSFO is, in my opinion, better. And cheaper 🙂 Hans
