This post and picture sum it up nicely. I know that it'll be ready when it's ready. And that developing updates for a program this complex takes time, especially one this massive. And that it can NOT be rushed because that will just result in bugs, problems, frustration and pain. But what I can't understand is jumping the gun THIS bad. Shouting from the rooftops on February 23rd, 2024??? What’s new in X-Plane 12.1.0 – oh boy… | X-Plane

Thank you, that did the trick. Autostart is working well.

Hi again, While trying to get Autostart setup (MS Store version), I see that I do not have an EXE.xml file at: C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\ I guess I never had an add-on that needed to create one. I'd like to create one and see if that will clear the way for the Autostart feature to work. I have Notepad++ (encoding set to ANSI with the Character Set "Windows-1252". I just need the text to copy and paste. If you would post it here I'd surely appreciate it. Thank you!

Sorry, I posted in wrong thread by accident.

YES! That's exactly what it was. I renamed it per your guidance and Auto_FPS now shows DX12 as it should. I think I caused that when I was running another installer (for the Stripr app) and accidently clicked on the Steam option. I think the installer choked (rightfully so) and I ended up having to kill it with Task Manager. That's the only thing I can come up with. Just did another test flight and Auto_FPS is running great. Thanks again for the awesome app, and the help!

I apologize! That's my old age showing... the comment had nothing to do with Auto_FPS. It was from a totally different app and I probably didn't even get THAT right🙄 Sometimes I really surprise myself🙂

Thank you for the reply and info. Just a quick note to answer the questions you asked because I need to spend more time on this (hopefully over the next few days). The display shows DX11 every time I run the app. And I have not changed the setting in MSFS at all. I checked usercfg.opt and it shows this: FSRModeVR PERFORMANCE PrimaryScalingVR 0.800000 SecondaryScalingVR 1.000000 SharpenAmountVR 1.000000 VSync 0 HDR10 1 Raytracing 0 PreferD3D12 1 Also, here's a portion of the log- it mentions Steam but I'm on MSFS Store version and don't have Steam on my PC. I may have caused the problem when I first ran the Installer and chose to use Autostart (accidentally clicking Steam). But I've deleted the app and reinstalled it but the problem persists. 2024-02-26 22:02:11.110 [INF] [ App:InitSystray ] Creating SysTray Icon ... 2024-02-26 22:02:11.204 [INF] [ ServiceController:Run ] Service starting ... 2024-02-26 22:02:11.206 [INF] [ IPCManager:WaitForSimulator ] Simulator not started - waiting 30s between Retries 2024-02-26 22:03:41.279 [INF] [ MobiSimConnect:Connect ] SimConnect Connection open 2024-02-26 22:03:41.279 [INF] [ IPCManager:WaitForConnection ] Connection not established - waiting 30s between Retries 2024-02-26 22:03:43.250 [INF] [ MobiSimConnect:SimConnect_OnOpen ] SimConnect OnOpen received 2024-02-26 22:03:46.749 [DBG] [ MobiSimConnect:SimConnect_Receiv ] Sending Ping to MobiFlight WASM Module 2024-02-26 22:03:46.858 [INF] [ MobiSimConnect:SimConnect_OnClie ] MobiFlight WASM Ping acknowledged - opening Client Connection 2024-02-26 22:03:46.966 [INF] [ MobiSimConnect:SimConnect_OnClie ] MobiFlight WASM Client Connection opened 2024-02-26 22:03:56.550 [INF] [ IPCManager:WaitForSessionReady ] Session not ready - waiting 5s between Retries 2024-02-26 22:05:06.665 [DBG] [ MemoryManager:GetActiveDXVersion ] Steam MSFS version detected - DX11 2024-02-26 22:05:06.665 [DBG] [ MemoryManager:MemoryManager ] Trying offsetModuleBase: 0x004B2368 I'll check back soon.

Reset, thank you for this major contribution to the community! Amazing that you took the concept and brought it to life. Elegant simplicity (from the users point of view) while incredibly useful, I've got it installed and running well (except for auto start, working on that tonight). I did notice that it shows DX11 although I'm running DX12. Checking to see if anyone else has seen that, or if it's of any consequence. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into developing Auto_FPS, greatly appreciated! Michael Roberts

Thank you! I'm just glad it wasn't me overlooking something simple. Good to know that there's an Issue Report function built-in. Very cool Thanks again, I sure do appreciate it! Michael Roberts Baltimore, MD. USA

Thank you for the latest version! I'd like to run the beta version side-by-side with the stable version (in Portable mode). Tried to follow the steps from the Release screen and link. Just can't get it right. I'm on Windows 11 and want to install/run from my main SSD (not from a USB, etc). Can you point me towards some detailed instructions? Thank you, greatly appreciated! EDIT: I made progress... now I have an error message from LNM. Caught exception in file ..\littlenavmap\src\main.cpp line 422. Tried to upload a screenshot but no go. I'll try again shortly.

I agree. For me, this aircraft is a dream come true. I love the Biz Jet space; resurrected X-plane 11 just to fly it. Looking forward to XP12 of course, but for now, I'm totally into it. I bought it Sept 15th and haven't flown anything else at all (in any Sim). I didn't think there would be a plane that would push MSFS's BAe146 and PMDG 737 outta the way, but it sure did. The way I look at it, it costs roughly twice what a lesser priced aircraft would cost. But I'm getting ten times the enjoyment out of it, and it is true study level so it's a bargain. I do use career mode, but after running through the "FBO/walk around stand prep" portion, I save states that I can reuse quickly if I need to get a quick flight in. Ready for takeoff, ready for approach, etc.. What an incredible product. Stunning. .

Alex, Thank you for the quick reply! I understand now... but before your examination, I was seriously confused🙂 As you suggested, I'm pretty sure LNM was open when I did the Navigraph update. Thanks again. As always, your top-notch support is greatly appreciated! Michael

Hi, hope all is well. I'm using MSFS with Navigraph and LNM 2.6.19. I have loaded the scenery library while looking into this issue... no change. LNM set to "use Navigraph for Navaids and Procedures". At airport LOWI, the VORDME "OEV" is missing in Search results as show in the screenshot. At the airport it's shown as WI700 (which shows as a Waypoint in Search results). It does show in the text banner on the map as "OEV / 111.10 / 254M / GS3.8 / DME". OEJ is also strange. It is shown on the map but in Search results it is shown as a Waypoint, not as a VORDME. Also notice that Navigraph shows current version as 2207 rev1, but LNM says N 2205 at top left Title bar. Thank you! Map screenshot Navigraph status screenshot

Hi Alex, Thank you for the quick reply! Yes, that was the issue; reloading the Scenery Library fixed it right up. Thanks again for getting back to me so quickly. I really appreciate it. Michael

Hope all is well! I'm on version 2.6.19. In Search, when I select the checkbox for Towered Airports, I see results that are dark blue (as expected), but there are also magenta airports shown as well. From the Manual: Airports having control towers are shown in dark blue others in magenta. I'm probably missing something simple... thought I would check here to see what's up. Thank you in advance.

Thank you so much Alex. I appreciate your patience in answering my rookie questions... I realize that you are the Guru that developed and maintains my favorite piece of software in support of the only hobby I'm passionate about. I try to find answers myself whenever possible so I don't have to burden you. One day I fired-up the Sim and LNM to put a flight plan together and fly a bit. After a couple hours in LNM alone, I realized that I liked planning and using LNM as much as flying😊 There is so much packed in there that I keep discovering more features and more cool stuff. It really amazes me what you have accomplished and I'm grateful that you answer these support questions yourself. Thanks again!!!

Thank you! Just to be sure I understand, LNM is using 2106 or whatever MSFS has, but they don't embed the cycle info for you to display. Is that correct? Thank you again, Michael

I've updated MSFS with World Update 5 which implements AIRAC Cycle 2106. Then I reloaded the Scenery Library in LNM. If I select "Use Navigraph For Navaids And Procedures", I see the AIRAC Cycle in the Title Bar (1801). When I select "Do Not Use Navigraph Database", should the AIRAC Cycle that MSFS is using be displayed in the Title Bar? In this case 2106. Or in the Menu dropdown where the other 2 choices show the AIRAC Cycle (X-plane and Navigraph). I didn't see the MSFS AIRAC Cycle shown on the "Load Scenery Library" dialog box either, but I may have missed it. I have the latest rev installed for both LNM and MSFS. Thank you in advance!

Thank you very much Alex! Greatly appreciated.

Seeing an interesting problem with Scenery Library updates following Sim Update 4. Varying figures from different users. I bet there is a simple explanation for it, but I've checked the FAQ and did a couple of searches but haven't seen anything that would explain it. Would you please check out this thread on the subject... would be better than me trying to replicate the issue here. I'm sure those involved would really appreciate hearing from an expert on the matter 🙂 Here is The Thread In Question. I hope this type of request isn't a violation of policy, if so, I apologize and will follow the appropriate process to help track down an answer. Thank you in advance! Michael Roberts

Thank you!! This is the one I tried: https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/assets/nsight-systems-2021-2-windows-installer Thanks again!

Oh, great🙄 What a disappointment. Perhaps NVIDIA FrameView is the appropriate tool? https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/technologies/frameview/

This looks like a great tool for for analyzing graphics performance, looking for cause of stutters, etc. Can help users investigate bottlenecks, identify issues such as GPU starvation, unnecessary GPU synchronization, insufficient CPU parallelizing, and even unexpectedly expensive algorithms across the CPUs and GPUs of their target platform (from their web site). https://developer.nvidia.com/nsight-systems I have the MS Store version of the sim. When I try to use Nsight, I get an error trying to "point it at" the FlightSimulator.exe file. I have taken ownership of the Windows Apps folders, but I still can't get past this with Nsight. I have been successful with other apps, but not Nsight. The specific error I’m getting is “You don’t have permission to open this file”. Of course, I don’t think anyone has permission to open it🙂 I just want to tell Nsight which program to target. If someone has been able to use Nsight with the Microsoft Store version, it would be a huge assist if you can tell me how to make it work. Also, I’m interested to hear what others think of Nsight. It looks VERY cool from what I’ve seen. Thanks in advance!

They could add 10 more developers to the team and STILL not have enough resources. Disappointing.

Thank you for the map. Very cool! Just a heads up. I'm getting strange results using the Safari browser on OS X (zoom and pan issues). Switched to Firefox real quick; all is well Thanks again! Mike
