Glad you are enjoying this tool too, the difference with it is day and night.

For sure there is frame drop with the plugin installed, my case with a 4090 I lost like 10 frames but with the plugin's built in frame generation you won't feel the drop by the contract frames will "feel" smooth, obviously if you are going to be catching and looking for any possible little hiccup you won't enjoy the other improvements, is a trade off after all and depends on the hardware, in my case more than justified.

I wonder the same, imho maybe because LR needs full compatibility in the three systems win mac and lin, perhaps they could need uniformity, same visual results among the three platforms, that would be easy for them and developers, that makes sense to me. For now only win users can enjoy this plugin.

Also, I really don't know if this plugin is just a "layer" above XP12 so to speak, I'm not a coder so don't know if this plugin hacks XP12 graphics engine. But the benefit is so huge that right now is almost impossible to go back to the shimmering, not even with 4k, what the heck! also the improvements of the cockpit shadows are great! one time I enabled ray tracing and wow! the cockpit shadows were amazing but CTD in seconds, yeah I know, just asking for too much, I knew the consequences but hey, it was just a test, right now I don't pick that option again, maybe in some future versions we could enjoy superb cockpit shadows too.

I've been watching this XP12 plugin for some days and testing it and finally I think this is a real and practical solution for the AA issues in XP12 plus frame generation among other options to test. Those jaggies are finally gone for good. I don't know if this is vibe coded or not so several days ago I took my chances for the team, installed it and everything is working great so far. This is the plugin in case you missed it: https://forums.x-plane.org/files/file/101816-xp12-luminaxp-dlss-dlaa-frame-generation-windows-beta/

Last night I was stuck at 68% anything related to this issue? Yea I synced the time, disconnect and reconnected the internet but nada. I hadn’t chance to test today yet.

Right! X-Plane always is our safe haven, after so many issues in the other side, not the prettiest is always the better. BUT to early yet to tell.

Will try at home both planes as I also have the Hawker, thanks for your suggestion.

FAV: the ability of this sim to have us all so immersed and the vibrant space of add-ons it creates that reinforce more the immersion. NOT SO FAVE: not having enough time to enjoy all the goodies and add-ons of this sim.

Finally able to update to SU7, I liked the new ground services app, simple but nice. Not a fan of the stock 737 Max 8 but noticed that after entering flight plan to the FMC no matter if Simbrief imported or manually, after executed and all set there, the flight plan route it is not being drawn in the navigation display and also the AP obviously won’t arm LNAV, anyone else having similar problem?

Right, in the grand scheme of things may sound viable, however in this very thread was already posted what happened, because I didn't recall something like this update and/or never happened to me. Waiting to go home and hoping to update to SU7 without issues.

Thanks Maxis for the link to the official news on that SU7 update, was good to know and understand what happened.

Maybe the SU7 was halted to some parts of the world while developers are fixing the drag issue and continue with the update for the rest of us, who knows. Never in my MSFS2020 and MSFS2024 life via Microsoft Store saw something like this before: to make a SU available progressively to all and not at once.

Agree! The Navigraph, Simbrief and flight plan import is a mess, indeed should be more intuitive like many other add ons.

I’m very curious about that new EFB app for ground services and pushback.

Hi, look at the EFB, there is an options page where you can easily find that option for activate the AP LEDs, don't remember now exactly that page options but is very easy to find. I'm not sure if you can brighten the LED either, I just remember that you can turn the AP LEDs on or off.

Hi, I feel the same relief as you, and your descriptions are almost the same as mine, even your system is very similar. This issue should be addressed by the developers. The rolling cache is the culprit, at least for both of us and some other big quantity of users. As I said before only downside is constant re download of textures, I also have fast internet so not a big problem but no major stutters when panning or while changing views inside the cockpit, an issue very well documented and easy to reproduce.

Yes! this is the path, at least for me. Changed the default cache location to my SSD where MSFS2024 is installed, renamed it, and now in settings shows 0.0gb. I just can't believe it that all my stutter issues are gone. Specifically the issue described in the Flight Simulator Forums link bellow. For sure I need to continue testing because as I said I just can't believe this. Downside: constant re download of textures but without stutters. Severe stutter when switching between instrument views within cockpit - Bug Reporting Hub / Install, Performance & Graphics - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

Are you referring to the MSFS2020 or MSFS2024 rolling cache? because 2024 cache can't be disabled in settings like 2020 if I'm not mistaken, you can delete it manually by finding its file however after that 2024 will set a new one defaulting at 16gb.

I would prefer to hear that this is a bug and not something intentional, at least there is hope that maybe someday could be fixed.

Yes, both are disabled.

Thanks! on ground will do! Makes sense! will do too! thanks.

Speaking of Navigraph, when you use live traffic with BATC, is there a way of avoiding the overlapping sound of the ATC messages from other planes in a very crowded area? it is very annoying, they sound all mixed up.

Yesterday, Sunday I installed 2020 for good too, and I say this with caution. And I said also perhaps would keep 2020 for about 6 more months and that was my sim safe haven while had 2024 from the beginning. It is difficult to feed both sims, in fact three with XP12 but XP12 is my other passion so it safe indefinitely on my SSD drive (I hope not to eat my own words). Back to 2020 it was time to say goodbye, had the best swimming moments and always worked great on my system. As I like to say, less is more, now will focus only in 2024 (in the MS side) and accept any bug still present there, life goes on and I needed to move forward too as this SU7 is now progressing.

Ah, the lock_fr command, yes, very useful too, good to know you sorted out this.
