A Day profile and a Night profile automatically switching at night or in the early morning would be very welcome. Already I have made a IFR and IFR Night profile. However , one thing. Is Night Clouds : 2 still possible in this way ? What you are doing is incredible.. My deepest respect for you.

@Reset XPDR Now that Clouds reduction at night has been added I can no longer see the reductions of the Reduction Settings Suite per setting like before with Level 1 or Level 2. Is it possible to bring them back as it is very helpfull with testing. ? And would be possible to have the an extra option to set the 50% tLod at Night also for tLoad Base ? Or a seperate Tlod Base and value Top for Night mode.

That option is planned for 2-2027

Thank you for your reply. Because of my 3x 4K view setup I have to keep tLod at 40 and Olod at 70 to avoid any small stutters at major hubs with 40+ Live ac. The RenderThread gets hammered a lot. I found out that Olod at 100 + tLod at 50 is too much at Approach on major hubs like EHAM. But when taxxiing all is good and Olod at 100 can be handled very well ( looks better too ).

REX Atmos is working perfectly. In its current state it is already a “must have” for me. And with Dynamic settings eg you can make different presets for Day and Night which then will fade into eachother.

@Reset XPDR When apptoaching larger airports with a high Olod it can introduce stutters. When taxiing the speed is low and therefor it is easier to handle higher Olod values for the system. Now Olod is attitude dependent in Exoert mode (automatic). If the Max value on the ground could also be speed dependent ( eg speed below 30 knots =max Olod ) then we could use higher Olod values.

See feb 2027 : Dynamic presets See April : Weather Integration

This is another app that uses presets weather injection…..

Sky Contrails should work with all planes and all packages. To see them the air must be cold enough. As a test you can use a Weather preset ( Clear Skies ) and set the temperature slider to lowest. However, I think that when using PSXT we only see them if the AI planes are in range of out plane. Nico knows best so perhaps hé can chime in.

It only works on the main window. In my former dual monitor - 1 pc setup I used DLSS FG 2x so it worked on my main window, and Lossless Scaling on my extra window. It worked when dragging the LS GUI to the extra monitor and started it there. So both fos x2. However, LS can only be executed once. FSR works across all Windows.

Thank you for your quick reply. Up to now only FSR is capable of doing so. Unfortunately DLSS only multiplies the framerate on the main monitor.

@Reset XPDR A new great feature with MFG SM added. Do you happen to know if this multiplies the framerate on all monitors in a triple view setup ?

Using REX Atmos …

It is working perfectly ! Tests : Planespotting on 3x 4K at FT Amsterdam Schiphol with 49 planes. I used CloudReduction 2 (Medium) and now have good FPS at Night ( GPU 40% - VRAM 27% ) . Even better than at Daytime with Clouds at Ultra ( GPU 52% = VRAM 27% ) Thank you.

@Reset XPDR Thanks you very much. Just updated to test version 05.4.5 - test 12. and ran it. Will try the new CloudReduceLevelsNight and report back.

It’s all up to you. The app is already superb. Just trying to find all extra FPS I can get for my 3x 4K view setup….

At night the clouds look almost black from below and inside them, and just a little bit visible from above when the moon can be seen. Just tried it on my pc and the difference between Ultra and Medium cannot be spotter at night….. But Medium gives higher FPS

@Reset XPDR Both LODs are reduced to 50% at Night when the Night feature is ticked. Very good feature. I don't know exactly but is there a difference between Clouds at Ultra and Clouds at Lowest in the Night regarding FPS ? If so could Cloud quality be reduced at Night ?

Shall we go back on topic ? SeedyL is visiting Avsim a lot so I am sure that Asobo/MS is aware of the regressed Lod situation ….

@Reset XPDR I see a lot of tLOD fluctuations. I have tLOD baar at Extra 1.5 so at smaller airports it can start with a higher tLOD. Any advice ?

This is a Jo Erlend Sund version….

This beta is not ruinning well for me : first time a CTD after 5 minutes and the second time withing 20 min MSFS 2-024 was hanging.

Looks cool. Will absolutely try it.

@Reset XPDR Would it be possible to edit the Auto Reduce Settings so that one can choose wich parts go 1 level down and which parts can go 2 levels down in detail ? For me Building Textures can go from High to Medium, while Trees, Plants Grass and Shadows can go from High to Low. Just my 2 cents...
