I was just about writing this. The screenshot sadly looks like failing VRAM. Might be that the use of the FG mod somehow triggers this because it fills the VRAM up faster and more consequently?

Can someone pls repost the link to the thread where there was a nice summary of how to set up DLSS nVIDIA Profile Inspector etc.? It was in one of the first posts in this thread but now the link is gone...

This is not only a disgrace, this is straight forward ridiculous now. Seriously, they should not only understand the issue by now, they should simply USE their own f* sim once themselves at the given locations and would instantly SEE the issue. I cant believe this behaviour regarding this bug, really...

I do not get the DLSS setting shown in my nVIDIA Profile Inspector. What am I missing?

there is a slight «error» in your thinking if I may say: if you only install European Airlines you will still miss a lot, e.g. all airlines visiting Europe but having their origin outside Europe. All airlines from North America and Asia. Quiet some: AA, Delta, United, Air Canada, Qatar, Etihad, Emirates, Singapore just to name few. You will miss a lot of heavies on international airports using this approach.

Exactly, thanks for putting the correct words here. My wording was not precise enough...

Interesting. Would love to see a 5-10 Min Video of this flight, this would certainly clear things up. My bet is on nicely timed screenshots of ActiveSky being on the way to change from one preset to another and not uniformely clearing (or filling) up the sky. While this might result in some non-uniform skies for a defined period of time, it has absolutely nothing to do with a proper depiction of a weather front and my example with flying over the Alps. Do not get me wrong here Bob, I would LOVE if someone is able to show me a true weatherfront in AS, I would instantly dump REX (which is clearly unable to do so, I tested this several times). But HiFi Simulations most probably called their weather mode "... preset" for a reason.

Kind of, maybe I was not precise enough: yes, Active Sky changes the weather on the flow when flying from A to B. But this is an dynamic process, means in my example: if you start in Zurich with clear skies, pass the Alps and land in Milano, where you have full overcast, Active Sky will progressively increase cloud coverage the moment a METAR station is passed where no more clear skies is reported. BUT: Active Sky will display the sky always completely uniform, e.g. complete overcast will reach from one horizon to the other. Or: if you are at 37000ft and the overcast cloud layer is on 30000ft, you will see overcast in front of you, behind you, on your left side, on your right side until the horizon. Even if it might be that behind you, in a distance of only few miles, the sky would be completely clear. Difficult to describe, simply look at a weather front and you will instantly see what I mean

As I wrote several times in weather addon topics: it depends on what you want. You can not say generally MSFS live weather is less realistic than AS (or REX). Take the Alps for example, when flying over them from north to south, very, very often you have almost clear skies e.g. north of the Alps and almost full overcast south of the Alps. While the MSFS weather engine has no issues to depict this, you can see it clearly from above that on one side of the mountain ridge you have clear skies while the other side is covered with clouds, both AS and REX fail simply due to the fact that they can only depict one weather type globally from horizon to horizon. In contrast, MSFS weather depicts snow in Milford Sound almost throughout the year, it makes the Berner Oberland an arctic area with frozen lakes and it has very limited cloud variation. If I fly in a locally restricted area, e.g. some VFR flying in and out of Milford sound, some VFR flying in the Alps, then I fire up REX to overcome these limitations of MSFS weather engine. Verdict: both MSFS and weather addons have their strong parts. And weak parts. But stating that MSFS weather engine is generally worse or REX and AS generally better is just plain wrong.

Some time ago, before the 7000 series X3D CPUs were available, I upgraded my rig with a 13600K, primarly because I was able to go with a Z690 mainboard allowing me to reuse my already available DDR4 RAM. Back in those days the pricetag for AM5 boards was massive and I did not want to buy a 7600X as a temporary solution. And now? I am thinking again on switching to a 7800X3D, and again, the moment is not right. I will wait until the release of MSFS2024 and first reviews regarding CPU usage before I finally upgrade. By then, probably the 8000 series already hit the market. Nicely illustrating that there is never the right time to buy hardware 😉

Well, tune down FSLTL or AIG to FS Traffic levels and performance will be on par I guess...

Normally, yes. FS Traffic offers nothing that AIG or FSLTL does not provide. In contrast, FSLTL and AIG both offer way superior models, AIG on top way more repaints. So there is absolutely not a single reason to go for FS Traffic instead...

Is preset F not the default? Do I really have to manipulate registry for getting this?

If you are blind, yes. At least here in Europe, especially during April, weatherfronts are THE predominant skies. Heck, you often have the situation depicted in the video visible from AGL = 0, not even speaking from cruiselevel, where you can see weatherfronts miles ahead. Add a mountain range to the scenario where you often have one sky on one side and a complete different one on the other side. Clearly visible while flying above the mountains. Nothing AS can do, also REX is unable to depict that anywhere near realistic.

Finally someone made a video why all external weather engines lack compared to the default: While local weather might look way better with AS or even REX, the impossibility to draw weather fronts is the reason I never use REX or AS for non-locally restricted flights. For me, proper depiction of those weather fronts is just too important.
