I have a 3080. The Nexus FG mod was working in both 2020 and 2024 up until yesterday. Now, after the Nvidia app and driver updates, the frame generation button in the 2024 settings has disappeared, and the Nexus FG mod is no longer working in 2020. I had to delete the Nvidia app and roll back the driver to get the FG mod working in 2020 again (I really like what the app does for performance in 2020, despite some artifacts). Has anyone else using the Nexus FG mod experienced this? Is there a way to stop the updated Nvidia app and/or driver from disabling the mod?

Thanks!

I set my 2024 cache size to 50 gb on the recommendation of some on-line guides, just to see how it works. It seems ok, but now I find I can't reduce the cache size back to the default 16 gb to test. How do i reduce the cache size back to the default 16 gb?

Following the advice in another thread, I set the AS update interval to the minimum 10 minutes and the smoothing to 15. Although not perfect, that works well for me. But then I mostly fly prop GA's, and so move a lot more slowly through weather fronts and weather changes. If you're flying fast jets through a series of turbulent fronts, there may be no way for a metar based system to keep up and change smoothly.

I noticed that pilots aren't showing in external views for Marketplace 2020 planes now appearing in 2024, for example, the various Carenados. The pilots do appear in external views for the default planes. Not a biggie, I spend most of my flying time in the cockpit anyway, but I wonder if there's something I should be doing to make them appear. Thanks - Bob

Do you have "rudder assist" on in the Assistance options? I found turning that off solved the trim problems I was having.

When you open Steam, in the very upper left hand corner, click on "Steam" then: Settings -> In-game -> In-game FPS Counter. You can choose to turn off or which corner you want the fps counter to show in. Immediately below the In-game FPS counter toggle, you can select whether you want the hi-rez bright green counter, or a low rez light gray counter. I hope that helps. I usually keep it on, but in the bottom right corner on low-rez. I find it's less distracting there.

There's a thread about the DLSS 3.7 here: As I understand from the thread, the DLSS 3.7 files are intended for RTX 4*** cards with built in frame generation; they aren't intended for pre-4*** cards, and they aren't required for the FG mod to work. Some people in the thread have tried with pre-4*** cards and the FG mod without problems. I tried, and no obvious problems, but no obvious improvements either. I installed both the nvngx_dlss.dll and nvngx_dlssg.dll files. I backed up the original two files already there, and then copied/pasted the new files over top of the old. However, this was with the older 546.33 driver. I haven't tried yet with the new 552.12 driver (I changed back to the original files when I was having trouble with the FG mod). Anyway, my problem with getting the new driver and the FG mod to work together are now solved. Thanks - Bob

Sorry, absolutely nothing jumps out, either for better or worse. I just upgraded to the new driver simply from a feeling I should stay current, and not fall too far behind, rather than any problems or feelings of dissatisfaction with the old driver. I've only had time for an hour or so with the new driver, so maybe something might pop up after I spend more time with it. But honestly, I'm not expecting anything to show. As said, it was just a feeling it was time to update. Why the FG mod wasn't working the first couple of times I tried installing still has me scratching my head. But on Noell's suggestion above, I went through and cleared the shader cache, as well as every temp file I could find on the machine, and after that the new driver installed just fine, and the FG mod worked ok. So...

Thanks everyone. I finally got 552.12 installed and the FG mod working. Together. Maybe it's time to get an x-box... .

That's interesting. How did you install the new driver? I simply followed my usual upgrade procedure of using the recommended express install inside the driver installer. Graphic driver only, no G-force. I didn't uninstall the FG mod before hand, or reset the signature check (maybe I should have done that first?). Anyway. I may try again (I may be old, but I am persistent). Thanks - Bob

So, I rolled back to my old Nvidia driver 546.33, I think from sometime around Christmas, re-installed the FG mod, and sure enough, the FG mod worked just fine. The difference is over 30 fps more in almost all every MSFS flying situation with the mod active. I wonder if the FG mod's author can update the mod for the new Nvidia driver? I sure don't fancy going back to less than 30 fps when flying. And my retirement budget doesn't allow umpteen thousand dollar updates for a new card, at least in the immediate future. Oh well, just fyi... - Bob

I have an RTX 3080, and have been using the FG mod to get the higher FPS, which I was really pleased with. But it seems that the newest Nvidia driver 552.12 disables that mod. I've tried re-installing the FG mod and turning off the signature checks, but no luck. I haven't tried rolling back the driver yet, it's a bit of hassle, but I will if there's no other choice. Is anyone else with an older pre RTX 4*** card having the same problem with the FG mod? Thanks - Bob

The only other things I can think to try are just the generic shot in the dark fix-its, which you may already have tried anyway: First, rename or otherwise empty your Community folder (easy enough if you use Addon Linker), restart the sim, and then see if the C208 shows. If so, then one of the addons in your Community folder is running interference. If still no C208, then go into the Content Manager, uninstall the C208, go out of the sim, restart, go back to the Content Manager, and re-install the C208. If none of those work, then sorry, I'm out of ideas..

Just to confirm, are you looking under the correct name? For the default C208, in my standard MSFS install, it's listed under "Texitron Aviation Cessna 208 B Grand Caravan Ex"
