My MSFS 2024 will definately be Steam. I had a Microsoft ID/PW conflict the first two months into MSFS 2020 MS Store purchase. What worked for me was picking one of several Microsoft accounts I had accumulated over the years (and several computers) and align that combo with Xbox.

Did you mention Dimesions? When the moon is in the Seventh House And Jupiter aligns with Mars Then peace will guide the planets And love will steer the stars This is the dawning of the age of AutoFPS, age of AutoFPS....... FPS'es es s, yaeah

AWARD NOMINATION! After chasing my tail attempting to keep up with the FRENETIC development pace of all of this, it now becomes easy to describe this as a great enhancement to MSFS 2020, second perhaps only to to the fame and lore of Addons LInker. Today saw a backtrack through my sometimes positive, sometimes frustrating travels through both of these related apps along with the RTX 3 Series Frame Generation (FG) hack (FG is supported with RTX 4's but evolved as a hack for the RTX 3's). If you have followed this topic through it's now 66+ pages you have witnessed my tail-chasing. It was at times self-imposed by chasing too many enhancements at once, and at other times struggling or attempting to absorb technical details by those much more talented in these matters. Today a comprehensive cleaning process was completed, followed by a highly deliberate step-by-step, forward looking reengagement of both. FG hack first. Then a fresh installation of AutoFPS 4.2. Not going to post numbers for others to chase with now mediocre specs like mine (see my footer) as my system is mostly 4 1/2 years old with an 18 month old RTX 4080. Just allow here a declaration of a clear statement of WOW! Just WOW! My MSFS is now as smooth if not smoother than the best single-malt scotch on my liquor shelves. It has tamed my most taxing payware airports from lions into pussycats. Sometimes takes a couple of minutes after starting up at one. The apps status indicators show when the engagement process is complete for each aspect. Then it is pure bliss. Highly recommend!

In the spirit of that: thank you for not further clouding the issue..... 🔆

Perhaps as the meteorologist here I totally disgree. If the terrain is rendered through falling snow or fog ....... Just sayin'...... 🌨️

We've all been there, done that! Only some of us admit it. 😇

Interesting. Intriguing. About 10 days ago I stepped through instructions on how to hack FG into the 3-series RTX's. It was a number of steps including a registry patch, positioning of a pair of new .dll files, I believe changing a setting or two in Nv control panel, and setting the DLSSG flag in UserCfg.Opt from 0 to 1. FG was showing in my MSFS General Settings and was available. I also was testing with variables in both AutoFPS and DynamicLOD_ResetEdition. I ended up with a mess of a stutterfest. I reversed each and every step of the FG hack except the DLSSG flag in UserCFG.Opt. I just missed reversing that to 0. It currently sits at 1. That and a hands off (my hands) use of AutoFPS (0.4.2-test) is where I am at presently with what I am showing in the screen capture. MSFS General Options currently does not show FG at all. However AutoFPS is showing it active, and showing a much higher FPS than MSFS. I need to complete an actual flight start to finish tomorrow from one payware airport to another and see what I experience. Panning on the ground at the new KMSP is butter smooth. It was not before I started into all of this. Panning from a runway was distinctly choppy.

My bad I guess. I am not having an issue that I know of with the 0FPS being displayed. my question is simple. In AutoFPS I am seeing routinely 0FPS of 60-ish. The display of FPS from MSFS Developer mode is showing me 40-ish FPS. The two are different. Why? If they are different then what is 0FPS (defination). See how one is 62 and the other 30.1? So they appear to be two different types of measure. This running AutoFPS with no changes in settings. Out of the box so to speak.
-
My bad, late at night just before bedtime. Meant DLSSG What I was asking was what is indicated by the 0FPS number in the app? I was seeing around 60 in the AutoFPS app but only around 30 from the indication in the MSFS Developer mode and it seemed to be locked. I checked NV Control Panel again and found Vertical Sync in Global Settings was set to Use the 3D Application Setting. Turned that Off and not seeing low 40's FPS from MSFS and still around 60 from the app. Not understanding the difference yet.

If I cleaned up all the other steps in the FG hack and FG is not appearing at all in MSFS General Options, why is the app still indicating it? And here is a twist. If I change the setting to RTSS 0 in that file, my framerates reported in both the app and in MSFS appear locked at 30. I have vsync off in both MSFS and the NV control panel. I do not then have FPS locked anywhere I am aware of. If I change it back to 2 the app reports FG, and my OFPS in the app settles to about 60. MSFS still reports 30 FPS. So I went back to the readme files to look up OFPS so I understand what it is. Can find no mention of OFPS, or for that matter 0FPS. What is OFPS or 0FPS? What is then 60 0FPS/OFPS?

Perflect reflected!

How are you setting TLOD 600? The most I am offered is 400. And what specific separate steps are you doing to get your displayed CPU utilization, GPU utilization. and memory utilizaton? Seems way more balanced than anything I see. My specs are in my msg footer.

Can you explain better the last line in the app? "DSX12 | FG Active | FPS Settling 3s"? Using RTX 3080. Tried the RTX 3-series Frame Generation hack. Totally clensed it from my system and reestablished prior settings. So why is the app today showing me "FG Active"? I no longer have a setting for that. And what is the meaning of "FPS Settling 3s"?
-
Thank you. That helps. The MSFS setting I am just throwing on the wall playing what-if are the settings in the upper box. AA, Nvidia DLSS Super Res, AMD FidelityFX (with my Nv RTX), V-Sync (whether to use with AutoFPS), Nv Reflex Low Latency, and the DX12 (beta). What are the possible inter-relationships of each, to each other with use of AutoFPS, + or - . RE: Youtube videos. Something that keeps it basic/generic = yes. i.e. providing a baseline. From there methinks our individual systems and the inherent nuances would only create more confusion. If we go expert we will not all end up at the same place, leading to too much copycat and likely frustration. Too much of that is in my own rear view mirror in this thread, and it did not work out for me. I tried too many things from too many sources (actually only 3) at once and they ganged up on me.
