Are ai traffic taxing past behind you? After installing v3 i was prepping at Heathrow then suddenly plane bounced around, apu was then disconnected and flight could not continue without setting up from scratch. Noticed a pattern when planes rolled past. Turned out to be the simulate wake turbulence. I switched it off and no more bouncing

Anyone else getting white 'dirty' marks on the cockpit windscreen? On both captain and first officer sides. Similar, but not as bad, as the brown marks which were previously fixed. Have the latest updates installed for Fenix and not on the 2024 beta

"there hasn't been a decent free AI Traffic program"......well except the brilliant AIG Traffic. Excellent models, huge range of aircraft and 1000s of routes. Not live but based on schedules which means the traffic you see is more accurate for the location and time of day. Works even better when injected by BATC

I still had an open ticket with WinCrtl on this matter so have just confirmed reverting to previous update worked and also highlighted others in this thread experiencing the same issue.

This is caused by the latest SimApp Pro software update "SimAppPro Setup 1.17.9.exe". I have a lot Wincrtl Airbus hardware incl MCDU, FCU, L/R EFIS, Thottles, Landing Gear, SideStick, rudders etc. Started to notice a lag when pushing Mcdu buttons, changing pages or rotating dials on the FCU etc. tried everything then Googled it. Found some recent posts from others experiencing similar. One guy said he contacted support and was sent links to the previous software version. I got a response very quickly to my ticket and downloaded and installed "SimAppPro Setup 1.17.8.exe" which worked a treat. I currently canot access WinCrtl website to share the link with you guys. UPDATE Got online - you can repllace numbers in url to download earlier versions too https://download.wwsimstore.com/download/SimAppPro/SimAppPro%20Setup%201.17.8.exe

Thought RHI still installed Reshade in the background.. I use reshade to make the sim look better so not installing an app which reinstalls reshade

How come this mod is not going viral with chat on here? DLSS smearing on glass cockpits has been a major issue for most using DLSS for years. Nvidia and Asobo failed to sort it out, It meant having to stay on TAA filtering when using the Fenix for example. It is amazing that someone from the community fixed a problem that a major software developer cannot.

I loaded up the sim last night and briefly used the Fenix. I couldnt help thinking the cockpit lighting and shadows looked a bit weird. Hopefully this helps as I kept wondering if I had imagined it or was it always the way it looked last night.

ReShade never has, just manually browse to your sims content folder and select either FLightSimulator2024.exe or if locked due to privalages and using MS Store version of the sim just select gamelaunchhelper.exe C:\XboxGames\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\Content

Quick test just adjusting the QNH and seems to work on the Fenix. Only issue is that Reinstalling Reshade has disabled the reshade being enabled through OptiShader. Not the end of the world if I need to just apply the effects through the Reshade like the old days

Been using Reshade for years and no performance loss. Just depends on the profile if perhaps an intensive setting or effect has been applied. This mod only needs ReShade for the addon injection, developer states that you actually do not need to install or enable any effects.

I have seen blurry areas near Brussels airport, double checked on Bing and it was the same. Turned out to be a miltary complex or a prison. Something classified

word not allowed - updated to SU6 on the day of its release but only preparing to fly the sim tonight and it has wiped my custom Tobii profile. I had it tailored well to suit my 48" monitor and the Fenix and was somewhat used to it. Unfortunately no screenshot of all its values so need to tinker with it now. Hope other controllers ok.

Just seen the headline on BBC website and whilst I have zero interest in Xbox as a gaming console my immediate worries are with Xbox Gaming Services which MSFS uses

As often the case the update on my pc was 100% Silent. No popups, no messages...nothing. had to Ctrl and enter to toggle the top menu bar to see if have version 1.7.35.0.

Just came here as I am getting the exact same message in 2024

I cant post screenshots here as the normal image host is banned in the UK. I cannot see images shared by others. I am seeing whats shown in the timestamp below (main part also 263 seconds) in so many areas. dry land around marinas and other water features, shorelines etc

I switched PG off to test in Sydney and the water mask problem was still horrible around marinas and many cases the general shoreline. Water textures just do not exist aroudn these objects. Boats and pontoons sit on a 'beach' like the infamous bridges in London after an update.

I had a look around Sydney last night and cannot see this great update others mention. Many buildings in the centre of the city are melted badly and again like Perth everything in the water looks terrible with darker blobs around every marina, jetty, bridge etc. PG is on, map displacement on, everything on ultra. TLOD is 400, wired 1 gig internet and even live pausing I am not seeing visuals improve so no streaming issues. I love flying round parts of Australia as it brings back memories of VOZ and the beginning of ORBX but areas seen so far look awful. Update is installed ok as per all other world and city updates. I see on Google there is a carrier type ship in the harbour beside "The Naval Historical Society of Australia", its a mess in this update. Flat and flickering like crazy as the Z axis fights for dominance over the water.

Just had a quick flight around Perth. Many melted buildings. Anything sitting in water like boats and marinas have a horrible dark blobby outline around them at water level. Have a high end system, all settings on ultra and wired 1150 mbps internet connection

Yeah im aware of VNAV issues with thr Fenix. Not exactly sure what the majority of users are experiencing but I find it often struggles on descent to follow the green dot. It ends up at least 1000 feet too high so I need to intervene. Climbing very slow also compared to real world experiences imflying with Easyjet or looking at FlightRadar. My comment at the steps is entirely a BATC matter as its giving me atc comments to descent to 35000 feet, I do that then after reaching 35000 I get nothing for ages. Sometimes atc giving directions to other traffic then eventually tells me to descend to 32000 feet then repeat....wait...descend 28000. Doesn't always do it and works better if there's a STAR or initial approaches with altitude constraints. Theres no STAR for EGAC

Ive been flying quite a few routes today in the Fenix and the latest BATC update. I am finding that I feel like I am constantly playing catch up during descent. Earlier I was flying EGLL (London Heathrow) to EGAC (Belfast City) and ATC is just so SLOOOOOWWW at giving descent instructions. Rather than clear me down to say a constraint on the chart eg 10000 feet it keeps bringing me down in 2 or 3 thousand feet steps but then leaving me hanging for 5 mins flying level. As I get closer to the destination I am concious I will be too high so keep having to use the speedbrake so I can get down quicker. Just feels like a battle or race then as I sometimes have no opportunityh to reduce the rate of descent then bleeding off speed is difficult. Also had Simbrief and the real and sim weather reports show winds from the west yet BATC told me to land on runway 09R - which is normally for taking off. To make it worse despite BATC instructing 09R it was injecting traffic and making them take off from 27L - same runway coming straight towards me. Weather and time in the sim was live. Also it clears me to a lower altitude sometimes than the glideslope capture on the charts eg cleared to 2000 feet when charts show 2800 feet. Thinking of giving Say Intentions a try. Does it have auto responses like BATC or does it insist on a microphone and spoken responses by me?

I find in 2020 and 2024 that colours, especially colour temperature, is still poor. Visuals by default are also soft even at 4K, TAA or DLSS/DLAA. Everything is also quite flat due to a lack of contrast or levels curves. I use a range of ReShade filters to improve things.

I used to use AIG then changed to FSLTL as it was simpler. I found AIG took ages to check for updates and ages to start the traffic injector. I reinstalled it again last year to test it being used by Beyond ATC and all the airliners landing gears were missing so I removed it again after running the various model and texture tests with the AIG app. Like others said I only used FSLTL when casually flying around in VFR without any flightplans (which BATC requires). Might try AIG again. Previously I had it working fine with Addon Linker and could disable it if I didnt want my sim taking 10 mins to start. It was installed on an SSD drive

Thanks for your in depth look into this. I do appreciate it. Please note I am not one for analysing performance data or stats etc in Development Mode. If the sim looks and performs well I am happy. I do struggle when there are too many variables as I loose focus on what is causing a positive or negative effect on fps or tlod etc. Since reporting my experience I decided to reset all the settings back to default using the installer. I only used FPS Sensitivity Auto Method since you are phasing out the FPS Cap mode. I had my Fenix A320 and simply slewed up and down to different altitudes and monitored Autofps which keeping MSFS 2024 window active (I have 2 screens). What I did find was I couldnt find patterns, which is key to understanding anything in life. Under General if I selected fixed and fps set to 120 TLOD would peak at 100 not 200 as set under "tlod top max". In order for TLOD to go up to 200 I need to change to manual and select 115 fps, selecting 120 fps and tlod doesnt change. I will try test 18, thanks. BTW in your screens above you seem to have Dynamic Settings enable "DTLOD", I do not use that in the sim.
