Fenix A320: Updating Navdata using Navigraph
rlashier replied to Simicro's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
You need to use the Navigraph hub to update the Navigraph AIRAC cycle anyway, so it’s a simple matter to update the Fenix or other aircraft at the same session. They update in just seconds. -
Are you using GFE instead of Nvidia App to enable the Contrast and Details filters? Since the last update, I seem to have lost the ability to apply any filters to either 2020 or 2024. Rich

I have a 4080 Super card and also run MSFS 2024 on a 4K 60 Hz monitor. I get very smooth performance in SU2 by setting frame limit to 30 in usercfg.opt and enabling FG at 2X in the game’s settings. With AutoFPS running as well, I can maintain a consistent 60 FPS in nearly all settings. I keep Vsync on in the Nvidia control panel, because without it on, I do get tearing when panning. Rich

With your 60 Hz monitor, having Vsync on would cap your FPS at 60, but this is fine since your average frame rate is in the 45 to 55 range anyway. The main advantage of having vsync on in this scenario is to eliminate the irritating tearing of your display, particularly when panning around your cockpit or your external view. Well worth it in my opinion. Rich

SU3 beta is out ! Go get it !

Glad to see that the omission of the city markers has finally been fixed. While I generally like to avoid much clutter in my views, the city markers are useful in VFR flight for determining your location visually. Rich -
Fenix a320 CFM: any way to increase brightness...
rlashier replied to Noel's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Unfortunately, this is one of those areas where the “experimental” nature of the Fenix release for 2024 does not provide optimal results. Of course, the brightness of the cockpit view can be improved thru the Nvidia brightness filter, but that introduces a balancing insofar as how much increase you can tolerate with your external views. Hope this is remedied when there is the official release for 2024. Rich -
I encountered this issue as well when I first used the Fenix, using a Thrustmaster flight stick for aileron and elevator control. When I entered the controls configuration page of the MCDU, I found that I was getting an errant downward input to the ailerons that caused this error message to appear repeatedly. In my case, I also had a CH yoke plugged into my system while using the flight stick to control the Fenix. My guess is that you might also have another controller in use that also can provide aileron or elevator inputs, and this is interfering. You could perhaps solve the problem by unplugging the other controller. In my case, I use the CH yoke’s buttons and toggle switches generally for many aircraft so I want to keep it plugged in. The solution for me was to create a distinct profile for the CH yoke that deletes the aileron and elevator axes, and use this profile when I am running the Fenix with the flight stick. No more stray aileron inputs and no more controller error messages from the Fenix. Rich

Fenix 2025 roadmap and a BFU (Big Fenix Update)
rlashier replied to MDFlier's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
The Fenix pushback function is a tad buggy in 2024, but there are simple workarounds that should get you away from the gate and ready to taxi. I assume you already have a button on your flight stick or other controller to the Fenix parking brake. When you first press the Start pushback button on the Fenix Ground Services page of the EFB, the tug may align with the nose wheel but not actually commence the reverse function. If so, wait til the tug has engaged the nose wheel as far as it will, then toggle the parking brake on briefly then off. The reverse function should then commence. The other little bug here is that the pushback in 2024 will typically begin with a turn you did not select. The trick is to quickly press the pushback turn button (below the Start button) for the opposite direction then quickly press the straight back button to take control of the pushback. From that point you can steer the reverse function as needed. Stop pushback when you have reached your desired position, and if necessary, press the disconnect tug button if the tug should remain in place. Hope this helps you get underway. Rich -
Apparently Carenado released another Bonanza
rlashier replied to St Mawgan's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
I would love to see A2A emerge from their dormancy and give us a V Tail Bonanza such as we had in P3D not so long ago. The Comanche is nice, but why not more from this great group of developers? -
Which GPU Would You Suggest?

Forgot to mention, the above is with the Fenix A320 -

My experience with a 5800X3d, 4K monitor, 64gb ram, and a 4080 Super is consistent with SetSpeed. By reducing texture resolution to High, disabling ray traced shadows, capping FPS at 40 on my 60 Hz monitor, and using AutoFPS (TLOD range 75 - 300), I am able to run 2024 nicely with 16 GB VRAM. And this is with complex scenery at takeoff (DD KDCA and Washington landmarks) and landing (FeelThere KLGA and Samscene New York City Times). In MSFS, Buildings, Plants, Rocks, and Grass = High, Trees = Medium. All looks very nice at 4K, and runs very smooth. Rich
