Thanks

Thanks for all of your work on this. I wanted to check back in and report that I've successfully used AutoFPS in place of DynamicLOD with the suggested settings you provided, and after 5 flights I am getting the same smooth flights with AutoFPS as I did with DynamicLOD. Today I am installing your new version and will use the same settings you provided, but I would also like to use the Mountain TLOD settings you put in as I frequently fly in mountainous areas. Can you suggest the addtional setting(s) I need to use this properly? Thanks again!

Thanks for the update!

Reset, Thanks for your thoughtful reply to my questions, and the settings to try with the Auto LOD app that mimic Dynamic LOD. I'll give that a try and see what happens just for fun, because I'm happy with Dynamic LOD. I am a little skeptical about dynamic LOD being implemented in 24 by MS/Asobo only because of the XBox issues being reported with their graphics problems and issues. Certainly don't want to see that or have those kinds of problems with 24 on my PC. Thanks again.

Reset, I asked you in the Dynamic LOD thread if you thought you might continue to support that feature for MSFS24, but I don't think you read that thread anymore. I am assuming you will support the Auto FPS App for the new version; I'd like to ask this question. How would one go about setting up the Auto FPS app to mimic the simplistic settings in Dynamic LOD should it not work with MSFS24? All I need and want to use is a minimum TLOD setting (I use 100) on the ground before takeoff and on approaches, and then I maximize TLOD (400) above 3500'. Simple as that... it works perfectly. I use the step up and step down feature for smoothness both on climb out and then on approaches. Is the Auto FPS app so different that the simplistic approach of Dynamic LOD isn't possible with it? Just wondering...

Could be; I'll just wait and see what happens when 24 comes out. The auto LOD program looks way to complicated for my personal needs, though there may be a way to simplify its settings to mimic the Dynamic LOD program in case it isn't supported going forward.

I'll take the silence as a no then, and hope that Dynamic LOD continues to work in MSFS24.

Reset, I'm still using this app as it suits my needs and wants perfectly. Any chance you'll continue to support this for MSFS24?

All in from the gitgo, but might have to wait a few days because of a planned trip. (Might be a good thing because of the rush!! 😉)

I'll add my congratulations to Jorg for being the catalyst for Flight Simulators revival. That morning back in 2019 when I saw some article or mention of Flight Simulator I was floored and thought maybe it was a joke or something. Obviously it wasn't and the result has been an amazing ride; and now we're on the cusp of another advancement of the FS franchise. Thanks Jorg, and also to Seb and everyone else involved in the rejuvenation of Flight Simulator!

Thanks for getting back on this. Yes, there was a "super tweak" discovered early on that extended tree draw distance to the horizon and had little impact on performance as I recall. I used it and loved it; then one day Asobo/MS decided nope you can't have that and they nuked it, never to work again. Have never understood why they did this, apparently they thought this would impact performance on the XBox consoles and eliminated it for that reason is my guess. Would love to get this back someday, perhaps in a future mod?

Curious as to your "tweak" to extend tree display distance. Still care to share?

Going to add my personal thanks to Reset for this app he has so graciously given so much of his time and attention to produce for the community. I have been raising and lowering my TLOD and OLOD settings manually for quite a while now, adding it to my workflow in flight. While not difficult to do and only taking a few seconds to accomplish, nevertheless it was a chore. Reset's app does the same thing I was doing manually automatic, thus eliminating those steps from my workflow. It works extremely well and in conjunction with my FPS lock, G-Sync and V-Sync settings makes for very smooth, virtually stutter free flights that are so enjoyable. If you haven't tried it, feel free to do so and see if it works well for you as it has for so many. I think most simmers will be pleasantly surprised at how it improves your simming experience. Asobo, if you're reading this thread, you really should integrate something similar to this in MS2024. It's definitely a difference maker in flight smoothness for many users who don't have the most powerful systems available at this time. Thanks again Reset!!

If you don't select "open window on app start", then you find the icon for the app on your taskbar or your hidden icons, right click on it and then select show window. The app will then appear.

Thanks for that chart, could you possibly do a similar chart on buildings? I am particularly interested in building draw distance; I am guessing it is similar to or the same as tree draw distance.
