Ohh and I did that purely for "smoothness" and "fluidity" and "science" 🤣 🤣🤣. Never for frames.

So, to run msfs in high priority I just copy pasted this together with google. Works for me. But I have to read a bit more about batch file creation. But give it a try, for free. Create a file with the editor. Name it for example MSFSfast.bat. Please check the bold text below. It should be the name off your msfs-folder. Mine was found here: C:\Users\Rasterfahnder\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- cmd.exe /C start shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyxxxxxx!App -FastLaunch ping 127.0.0.1 -n 36 > nul wmic process where name="FlightSimulator.exe" call setpriority "128" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It just set the priority to high if MSFS starts with in 36 seconds (you can alter the timeout to your needs) and skips the intro. This does not affect affinitymask. I will never touch those settings again with msfs. The .bat file opens a comandline window that needs to be closed manualy, but can stay open for the flight. I guess it is because there is no endline. I will google this later 🐵.

Finaly after a week MSFS is reinstalled. The most helpfull answers in this thread where in lose order: I could not find the failure but this is how it got fixed on my system: 1) started the installation from the xbox app. I chose the default directory on c:\ (wich by the way can be selected from the xbox app very easily). I did so from day one. 2) when the installer stopped I closed the flightsim.exe via the taskmanager. Thats because even when closed it played music and you can see that it is still running in the background. 3) most of the time it looped when installing files regarding c152 or the airport lzdr (or something like that). So I deleted those files and the folders several times in the last days. 4) after many tries it run thru. It was a crawaling race from package to package 😻 Since I did not overclocked my i9 10900k one thing I noticed. IF you have overclocked your system AND have the same problem. DADs advice is well worth a try. Reset your BIOS to default. You can oc later again. The decrypting of the files taxed my poor little 10900 in peeks more then flying in 4k on ultra/high. 😂 Which seems ridiculus to me but it is what it is. I overcklocked my cpus all the time for FSX and P3D. And if needed I will for MSFS (thats why I have the k-version). But since last week every thing whent super smoth for me and I still dont feel the urge to oc. The 10900 is a beast in stock configuration. I did oc my 3060 🤫. Ohh and first start of the sim after install it crashed. (First time for me). Just ran the savemode, closed the sim, restarted my computer an done. Next weekend I will reinstall the PMDG DC6, Kodiak, and bijan-seasonsmod. If I feel adventures I will also reinstall the brilliant "we love VFR" mods from Puffin. And mybe some ships too. Big shout-out to DAD, DylanM, rayharris108 and every body that did try to help. You guys rock 🤩

Can you help me out? Do you know the meaning of "Klugscheißer" in english? thx

Same for me since monday. All of a sudden my communityfolder was gone and so my MSFS. But I never had to tinker with the FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION in MSFS. 🤕

Hi Toneal2, try to set your destination airport in the GPS or create a flightplan with your GPS. Activate the direct--to or flightplan that you just created. After that the ATC window should show you the option to request an IFR clearance for that new or altered route. Acknowledge and you get IFR instructions for the remaining fligth. It does not matter if you have started the session in VFR or without a flightplan. But I do not know if you always get to chose an ILS clearance. Hope it works for you. Cheers

Server problems?

Same here.

Just a video how it can be done. NOT teaching anything. 😁 How to do it. Kind of...

Latest version of Multi Crew Experience has it implemented. ☺️

It does. I am very happy by now. Go check it out.

Thank you Gerald. v.2.8.79 works. Next thing is to get ASABO to give us the option to disable the Pilot voice. I wished to get rid of "Press any key to start" and now this. Am I too greedy? Enjoing MCE so much. Indispensable!

Will test it again. So far no luck with ATC in Version 2.8.78. It worked for voice commands before the MSFS Patch. Also the FO does not know any radio frequencys or navigation aid frequencies. The checklist feature works for me. And with 2.8.78 the MCE-window works flawless now. Responcive and all boxes and sliders work for me. Thanks

c172 and c208. ATC worked in v2.8.5 until the MSFS patch came out. MCE shows in the textline the correct phrases. Textline does not come up in every flight. Some times it works, some times it does after severeal recovery attempts (via taskbar menu) and some time the restart of MCE in one session helps. I will do more tests this evening.

Thanks for all the efforts. So far no luck with MSFS Deluxe patch #4, MCE 2.8.78 and ATC. Checklists are working great for me. Mech keeps asking for closed doors befor push back. Told the mech that he must be wrong. I told the FO to climb through the emergency hatch when he tried the doors. Doors are definitely closed in MSFS. But over all best support. By the way when ready I have to update the banner. Voice control FSX P3D FS9 XPlane & MSFS 🤩

Hi. Fantastic to have MCE in MSFS. I have some minor problems regarding ATC. Every thing works just fine, but my co-pilot does not seem to understand native ATC or to replay to ATC. After the last MCE patch to V2.8.7.6 I can use voice commands and checklists (greate) but even my own ATC commands wont work (with v2.8.7.5) I could talk to ATC. Any ideas? Kind regards Rasterfahnder

You just need to copy ’ fs-base-ingamepanels-lnm’ folder to the community folder and be sure to enable LNM webserver at its options. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/release-littlenavmap-toolbar-window/296952

Hi IanHArrison, try the following options. 1) Try the updatepackage: 2020-08 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 2004 for x86-based Systems (KB4566782) 2) WindowsUpdateDiagnostic: Microsoft´s repairtool 3) Microsoft´s MediaCreation Tool 2004. That worked for me after houers of fiddeling arround with other sugested methods. I do not know if this link works Link for CreationTool but in german language. Just download the tool from microsoft, accept the licence terms and let it do the magic. The exact file name is: "MediaCreationTool2004.exe" (google it). If it works please let others and me know what worked. After the update is done try the new "hardware accelerated GPU planning" funktion in 2004! Click on 'Search' on the taskbar and type “Graphics Settings”. Click on the first option to open Windows Graphics settings. Click the toggle under “Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling” to enable the feature. Improved the performance of MSFS immensly on my system. Helped especially to negate microstutters when panning the few with TrackIR. Happy flying. 🙂

Maybe he just could not because the solution is not to be mentioned on AVSIM? Thougt about that? There are not many things that do change the lighting in P3D. 😉 But I hope ORBX is updating AUv2 with their excelent "extended night lighting". That would be the better solution for me.

What? It is absolutly irrelevant how the folder is named or where it is installed on your computer. You point p3d to the singel folders for each region with in the scenery editor of p3d. Not in the scenery.cfg with a text editor (I mean you can, but I would not recommend to try it that way). It is much easier: In Windows Explorer, create a folder for the new scenery anywhere on your hard drive. You allready did that. e.g. D:\P3D\Prepar3d v4 Add-ons\FSGN\AFR\ Copy the Scenery and Texture folders for the new scenery into the folder you just created. AFR, ANT and so on are your new scenerys, they contain all the data from FS Global for each region. All you have to do is to add them to the scenery library. Start P3D and on the bottom click the Scenery button to enter the scenery library. In the Scenery Library click Add area. In the Select scenery directory, select the folder containing the new scenery e.g. D:\P3D\Prepar3d v4 Add-ons\FSGN\AFR\. In the Scenery area name text box, type the name as you want it to appear in the Scenery Area list. Select Cache this scenery or Use this scenery directly. Click OK. Even easier with the excelent FREE tool from Lorby 😍! Just google "Lorby Prepar3D V4 Addon Organizer".

Just make sure you activate the live cloud texture sync. in SF. That's why you need to start SF before p3d. I switched the clouds in SF every time I was in the mood to do so. But honestly SF generates just a vast amount of different clouds with one set that it is hard to tell them apart. You are right GEKtheReaper. I ment SkyForce (SF). Thanks for the correction. EnvironmentForce and ASCA both work together, I use them both. But that is for an other thread.

You pretty much got it. 👍 When it comes to clouds it is either or with SF and ASCA. You have to chose. If you want SF clouds and structures activate them and turn them off in ASCA. No, you dont have to worry about them. The rain effects from ENVTEX just replace the build in rain effects. Rain shafts are part of the cloud structur moddels. Also you can disable the sky 24h because ASCA will inject the sky colors dynamically with your settings, or leave it on doesn't matter. ASCA will install your sky textures. Keep the integration option ON. You allready disabeld clouds in your ENVTEX settings there for it won't do anything to your clouds. EF will just overwrite any other cloud textures once you installed your theme. You probbably already know that you dont have to run envdir every time you start the sim just EF and Aktivsky. ASCA start automaticly with AS4. Enjoy your sim Anson.

Sorry my bad. You are right, there is no visibility setting, it is caled fog mode in the mini UI. That should be set to "Off" if you want to have AS4 to take full control over the visibility. When left to "Auto" EF cause trouble on my system with cloud visibility reduction function from AS4.

You need a decent rig but nothing too powerful. Even users with i9 9900k and rtx2080ti reporting issues. But there are so many opinions out there that it can be hard to set things up properly since fs9. Until you find your settings flightsimming reminds me of old timer cars and Harleys. 50% of the time fixing/tuning and 50% on the road. In the end it is very satisfying when everything works until the next addon that brakes your setup. That's not to say I have the solution for everyone and I am saying anyone here is wrong. But you don't get a smooth flying experience by just throwing money at your sim. What works for me: - Frames limited to 33 in P3d and important set the FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.01. Try that, I have no blurries. It is controversially discussed but this are the same settings as if you use unlimited. You get the same frames because if you limit frames internally, p3d set FFTF=0.33, that is where your 10-20% frame lost comes from with limited frames (easy to test this hypothesis. Set p3d to unlimited and set FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.33). - I run my i7 6700 without hyper thread. That made a huge difference when it came to texture loading in batches. - My gtx1080 is slightly overclocked as my VRAM and I limit the frames for the GPU to 35 with GPU TWEAK. Raising the VRAM speed is helped in heavy cloud situations but doesn't change my frames. - Last tweak that helped with late loading of airports is textur bandwidth multiplicator=1024. This one is tricky though. Standard value is 30. It is possible to calculate the maximum, depending on your GPU speed and VRam type and speed. With my 1080 witch uses GDDR5 you could go higher and with an GTX 20xx even higher. That said it is tricky because there is not one value for all systems and when set wrong it can utterly destroy frames and cause micro stutters. I never use unlimited and there is no gain in doing so on my PC in my opinion. I stopped hunting for frames and go for smoothness instead. With TrackIR everything around 30 fps is fine as long as I don't get stutters or black textures. And even when the frames go down to 18-20 on approach at ORBX Heathrow it is flyable with p3d v4.5. But I have to admit I don't fly there because at Heathrow my settings are to high for my system. Flightbeam KPDX with Orbx Portland and region in stormy weather no problem. I don't use the 30Hz and vsync method anymore because it is slightly worse when panning the view fast with TrackIR. Although it is in my opinion a very solid method and worth a try. Takes much less time to get it right that way. I like to keep my settings the same all over the world: For comparision p3d settings: 3840x2160x32, texture resulution 4096x4096 and 7cm, high-resolution textures and high detail radius, tesselation ultra, mesh 2m, scenery complexity extremely dense, draw distance very high, dense autogen, water high, reflection clouds, special effects all high, shadow quality low, shadow draw distance ultra, with terrain and clouds casting shadows. cfg tweaks: FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.01 TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=1024 OPAQUE_SHADOW_TEXTURE_SIZE=4096 Good luck with finding your personal settings and have fun.
