Thank you. I plan to run the PC at the fps cap. If I use the fps cap mode, should I set the fps targets both in autofps and in sim to that fps cap or a few fps below the cap?

To solve my microstutters I tried to use a maximum fps setting (sim settings) today and autofps recommended me to select fps cap mode. Is it generally recommended to use fps cap mode everytime you set a maximum framerate? Also, with fps cap mode, it wasn't possible for me to deactivate the TLOD max extra option, is that a feature? I would prefer to stay with my TLOD max and allowing a bit a relief for my cpu.

Thank you for your reply, as always very kind and helpful 🙂 I tried it on two flights without changing anything (so using the defaul values) and couldn't determine any significant difference between the performance option on or off. Maybe it's because my system does already run on optimum power settings so only the core affinity and process priority would be affected and I assume the impact is to small to notice on my system. I hoped I would help with microstutters, I'll try increasing my minimum framerate next.

Hello, i've a question regarding the MSFS performance option: Can I leave the default values with a 5800X3D or do I have to set a specific core affinity in the configuration file? A read something about this topic but I couldn't figure out under which conditions it is necessary to edit the config file.

Thank you, I've tried it this morning and I've the perception that the combination of autofps and dynamic settings indeed results in a more smooth experience with a lot less microstutters.

Thank you, I looked into the readme but i didn't find this part, sorry for that. Regarding the fps limit for the internal dynamic settings. Do I understand correctly that I have to set the target value for the native fps there, and in autofps the target value with frame generation? E.g. if I want to achieve 60fps after frame gen 2x, I have to set 30fps in the dynamic settings and 60fps in autofps with the applicable FG mode?

Hello, unfortunately I wasn't able to flightsim for a few weeks and after updating everything now I found the new option which makes autofps compatible with the msfs default dynamic settings. I'd like to understand whats the purpose of that mode. Does it bring any advantage to use autofps together with the default dynamic settings? Until now I only use autofps and have default dynamic settings off. Do you recommend using autofps together with msfs dynamic settings now? Thanks for all your development work, it's so vital for the sim.

Yes, I thought that. My question was out of technical interest and in no kind against AutoFPS. I thought here might be a lot of people who know a lot about that topic so there might be knowledge about the differences. Sorry, I did not mean to offend anyone. I've no doubt AutoFPS is better. Thanks, that was the kind of explanation I was searching for.

Is there any kind of documentation about the behaviour of the default dynamic framerate feature? I'd like to know what that feature does in comparison to fabulous AutoFPS.

I've got the same problem and I've tried a lot of things to solve it. Nothing helps besides disabling City Update 1. As some SU2 Beta Users report that they didn't encounter the issue, I hope SU2 will solve it. I also posted it in the Aerosoft forums but got no answer as of today.

Sorry I'm still a bit confused about the settings. What has to be selected to deactivate the default ship traffic and activate GAIST traffic? (2024)

So how can you change the density of ship traffic from GAIST in MSFS 2024?

A clarification here would be really nice, as I read different things about GAIST in FS2024. Some people claim it doesn't work, while other write it worked perfectly fine.

Does FSHUD 2.0 include regional phraseology and airport specific procedures? Beginning with the difference between european phraseology and us phraseology up to specific callsigns of controller stations?

Hello Bijan, When I use your addon, is it also possible to use some freeware tree-fixes for areas which may not be covered by your addon, or will there be compatibility issues?

Thanks for the link, unfortunately I didn't search for the FAQ on Github

Thanks for all your great work for this App. Is it possible to uninstall and/or deactivate the App if you, whatever reason, don't want to use it anymore, with reverting all the changes the app has done to the sim? Do you recommend to backup any files before trying the App? (Excuse if there are already answers to these questions anywhere in the two threads. Maybe a little FAQ-readme would be helpful for some users.) Thanks in advance

Ok, I think that's a misunderstanding, of course there are 737NG with updated cockpit layout and SSW, but there are also a lot of operates who retrofit the SSW to old 737NG, and a lot of those don't get any new things in the cockpit, only the SSW. No, of course I don't know the processes in your team, that's just an assumption, as I stated in the explanation. In the end it will stay your descision, it would just be really nice to get such an update, of course we can't demand it, but a lot of people are interested in it. best regards, Mathias Mueller

There is no new engine or updated cockpit layout on retrofittet 737NG. Yesterday I was onboard a ten year old 737-800 which got the split-scimitar-winglets. And that we all are flying from the cockpit is no argument, because if that counts, we won't need any external model. Of course I would prefer an updated flightmodel, but pmdg has no time for that, and I assume the differences would be really barely noticeable. And an NGX model update would not hold up the 747 development: At this time of the 747 development I expect that the 747 models are finished already. (They even did the 5th engine transport option which is in reality really rare to see) So I thought maybe the modellers could do a visual SSW update for the NGX while the rest of the team works on the 747 programming. best regards, Mathias Mueller

Hello, I'd like to ask whether there is a chance for a small visual-only split-scimitar-winglet update for the 737 NGX, as more and more 737NG are getting the SSWs these times. I know really a lot of people who are waiting for such an update and would pay a few dollars for that. I know that it has been asked before, and the answer has been, that an update isn't possible because of missing performance data or a lot of programming would be needed. But what about a visual-only model update, like you did with the 748 model for your 744V1? For talented modellers like you are, it should be possible to build such an update in reasonable time. The split-scimitar-winglets are so amazing-looking, and it would be really great if you could do small update for us. I'm sure a lot of loyal pmdg customers would pay for that. Sorry for asking again, but I wanted to underline the demand, and mainly to ask for a visual-model-only update, in comparison to a flight-model update what would be too much work at this time. Thank you so much, Mathias

Hello, I recently bought FSFX PrecipitFX and it's really great. I've just a little question: Does PrecipitFX also change anything on the runway textures of standard airports or only the effects? It seems to me that my "snowy-runway" texture is new - but that may be a misinterpretation due to the fact that it's quite some time since I've seen a standard rwy texture the last time. Thanks for your great product!

Thanks Richard, but why are there so many reports of fps loss with the contrails then?

Hello, can anyone of the precipitFX users say something about the performance without using the contrails and wing vortices? I only read of some people having fps issues with the contrails, but never about issues with the new snow or rain textures. I'm not interested in the contrails or vortices, I would buy precipitFX just for the new snow and rain textures and precipitation effects. So can I expect to have no fps loss if I disable the contrails and wing vortices?

@DJJose: Your screenshots look amazing! Which set of clouds are you using?

What I don't understand is: Why is it not possible to copy the files DTG changed from a FSX SE installation to an original installation? That would be very important for me, because I don't want to have to reinstall all addons...
