I did a video for another purpose today so I had LOD mod and FG mod both off, just stock 2k in DLSS-DLAA, and the ground tile popping in the sim was the worst I’ve ever experienced. I usually don’t even notice it, today it was literally like laying out a sidewalk in front of me as I walked, each step forward more tiles popping in front of me. Never experienced this before. I was flying in the Caribbean so maybe it’s filtering in the updated ground imagery coming tomorrow?

Well you’re talking to someone who got banned over there. And I suppose we all tend to favor our own narratives, but what I got banned for was doing the job the mods weren’t doing. There were so many clickbait thread titles it was absurd (“I can’t believe this happened!!!”, “WHAT CAUSES THIS?!”, etc.) and the mods never did anything. It’s against their terms of service, so I started flagging the threads. They were non-plussed as the kids would say. Then when people would be sniping at each other or in particular, ganging up on another user, I’d call people out. “Knock it off guys, this is not a place for personal attacks,” etc. Well that was apparently the last straw, as that got me banned. “You’re creating more work for the moderators” was the reason given. Well, maybe if they did their jobs to begin with… But you have to understand people with small minds and authority, it’s always like this (and I am NOT an anti-authoritarian type). I check over there for any news of interest on a regular basis and I see so many things I could help people with, but nope. Oh well.

If you’re not limiting framerates or limiting them with VSync only, that’s probably going to be your issue. I had the exact same thing happen to me on a few flights, same timing and everything, until I set a hard maximum frame rate in NVCP. Also keep in mind that you can use something external like Riva tuner (which I’ve never used and can’t comment on), but that causes other problems for some people. And a lightbulb just went off - another thing that can cause these crashes is using an external program like Riva tuner of MSI Afterburner to check framerates. I wouldn’t run any of those external framerate counters either.

Yep. And sometimes with higher refresh rates like yours you have to limit it at something like 120, but try 144 first.

Use Nvidia Control Panel to limit your frame rate to your monitor refresh rate. That is what solved the problem for me.

I personally think FS2024 is going to be completely different in terms of resource use and what the CPU-GPU performance balance is going to be.

No ghosting (I don't even really know what that is), no artefacts, nada here with a 3080ti. Smooth as can be at 60 FPS. Menus and things like Navigraph charts flicker and so on, but that's no big deal.

Be interested to hear how you fellas’ experience is with native vs the mod.

Yeah that’s what you’re looking for with FG really.

I do. This is one of those weird settings: the standard advice is Vsync on in the Program Settings tab in NVCP and off in the sim, but some people have had success with it on in both NVCP and the sim. Which of course doesn't make sense, but that happens sometimes.

Glad you got it working! There are some different ways to try and refine the image, but it's definitely a game-changer.

I have it set to my monitor refresh rate (60) in NVCP and it is as smooth as any metaphor you can name.

Why I would be happy to help. This video shows you how to do it. Always glad to help a fellow flight simmer!

Actually they are spaced well enough apart that I think they’re fine, although with the step max they’re probably not needed.

The XBox Games folder is the correct way to do it. MSFS updated the location of the exe file in one of the sim updates a while back, if you have your install on an external drive it may not have updated the location. Trust me when I tell you there’s a reason they don’t grant you access to the WindowsApps folder. I have seen more than one person who insisted and pushed their way through the closed door into that folder and wound up regretting it.

Which version are you using? The thing that fixed it for me was limiting my framerates in NVCP to my monitor refresh rate.

Don’t mess with the windows apps folder, you can mess up your PC. Look on YouTube for video on how to move your MSFS installation.

You're in the minority. In the end it's personal preference. It also largely depends on your system and what kind of flying you do. Can I tell the difference? Yep.

I know sound cards cause some issues in the sim. For example I don't have a sound driver installed (I forget which one) because it was problematic.

Very true, that was dismissive of me.

Nah.

I didn’t even notice that one, I use the universal one.

Sure there is: don’t open menus. I don’t use any and so this isn’t an issue at all for me.

Which version are you using? With the DLL version you don’t have to do this.

You have to reinstall.
