AutoFPS for MSFS 2024: No Stutters, Amazing Performance | Microsoft Flight Simulator

[@ResetXPDR]

Thanks for reviewing the latest iteration of my AutoFPS app. I decided to stick with the tried and trusted functionality of the last MSFS 2020 version of this app for MSFS 2024 and that seems to have paid off. I am glad that you are getting such pleasing results and hope that others do too. FYI, a small update will be released in the next week or so that includes some fixes to minor issues that I have discovered as well as any other issues of note that invariably come up after formal release.

[@JNDPOfficial]

Hey thank you for helping people who struggle with 2020/2024 fps issues. Your app is truly amazing and is helping the community out so much during this rough patch. Appreciate your hard work keep up the amazing software!

[@Nufsed007]

Installed it today and flew the Fenix A320 from ESSA to EFRO, like you said, butter smooth. By the way many thanks for your great videos.

[@IslandSimPilot]

You're quite welcome, thanks for the kind words!

[@vishall926]

Awesome, this was a life saver in 2020. Glad to see it ported to 2024!

[@MrEDET]

Works fantastic. Smooth as butter again. Thanks dev! And thank you for the headsup!

[@JNDPOfficial]

Appreciate the video! I watched through and honestly never been happier to find someone who wants to give such an informative video on the software! I mean I hope you can keep us updated with these kinda videos as 2024 progresses but also when there is updates to the software. Appreciate you!

[@Wilem35]

Thanks Reset!

[@MrNeilRoberts]

Was waiting for this and I just knew it would you be you to tell us !!! Thank you 🙏

[@IslandSimPilot]

Glad to help!

[@svolos1971]

Love your posts but just a small suggestion: when checking apps like this, you should test on challenging sceneries and with heavy addons. This will give you a true indication of how this apps can help. Testing on a small plane and on small airports , with your system specs, 9 out of 10m times will be "buttery smooth".

[@MOMAZOSPATO]

Exactly!!!!!! Finally someone else realizes that of course it’s gonna be “buttery smooth” when you’re flying in a place with barely no scenery and in an extremely simple plane with a top notch pc…

[@chrisibbotson6367]

Whilst I do agree its super easy to get great performance flying around small islands and surrounded by 360 degrees of water the app works. Its simple to test even without it, manually lower your TLOD to 50 and you should see a performance gain even in detailed payware scenery surrounded by scenery objects

[@MrNeilRoberts]

I think sometimes we can easily forget that these YTs are doing all this for the love and in their own time and at the end of the day we can all do additional testing and feeding back rather than expecting him to do everything for us! I’ve taken this app, in VR, to LAX and it does a good job (of course needs to be in Auto TLOD Method because I’m using SSW ) and given LAX kills pretty much all including 4090s I think this app is well worth the money (nothing!) and the time to watch this very helpful video 😮😮)

[@blueline308]

​@@MrNeilRoberts "I think sometimes we can easily forget that these YTs are doing all this for the love and in their own time" Wrong. they do it for MONEY, which is OK. Don't be naïve.

[@stvcolwill]

" with your system specs, 9 out of 10m times will be "buttery smooth"" - what specs might that Be? CPU, GPU, RAM, VRam, etc. I looked for it in the description, but maybe you could save me some time and research. Sounds like you know! : )

[@JTCulverhouse]

Thanks for the heads up and video. I'm using msfs 2024 via VR and also increase the sim rate. My first crack at this and it reset my computer towards the end of a flight, just prior to entering the traffic pattern. Not sure if it was increasing the sim rate or using in VR as yet. Of course the main issue could be msfs 2024 :)

[@ResetXPDR]

I have heard of my app resetting a computer before. It's probably a 2024 behaviour, as you suggest.

[@JimBridgmon]

Thanks, Mike, I've been wondering about this.

[@IslandSimPilot]

Hey Jim, you bet! Flying again tomorrow late afternoon if you're around, and this Sunday as well. Hope you're well!

[@Harald787]

Wil install it ASAP in MSFS2024 , I alway use it in MSFS2020, thank for the tip.

[@rsvette123]

Thanks much for video and creator of software - on Steam version crashed my pc shut it off - restarted pc and it worked fine - so if you install this reboot after install as mentioned below - I have 4080 super oc - it was pretty smooth on my OLED 48" tv to begin with other than all the bugs - what I think I noticed is the terrain looked more define at altitude - have to research more but that said I haven't seen a negative so far

[@SWR112]

So MF you need to hire this guy even if it’s a day a week to work on performance as he seems to get it all working so well.

[@acurisur]

"This guy" didn't make Auto FPS, he's just bringing it to our attention. Also this won't a thing if the database gets overloaded again or the servers go down. The main thing that needs to work in 2024 is the cloud side.

[@harpsinuno]

I use loseless scalling for 2020. It is fantastic.

[@G1Network]

This worked well for me in msfs 2020 but, I´m now using Lossless Scaling which works beautiful with msfs 2024.

[@chrisibbotson6367]

Lossless Scaling has different uses, it also has the worst native performance penalties. I find my native fps drops by 10 - 15 prior to the frame gen being injected. The old dlssg_to_fsr3 mod sees no loss so you get perfect 2x frame generation. LS also gave me wobbly airport lighting artifacts at night

[@KoPilotFlys]

I love this app, I have been waiting for this it worked so well for me in 2020. Thanx for the heads up bud, your the man!

[@IslandSimPilot]

Really appreciate the support. And for me this works BETTER than it did in 2020 - like, way better. I'm blown away!

[@KoPilotFlys]

@@IslandSimPilot Nice! Good to hear just installed it and going to try it out in a bit. Thanx again for being on top of that, big help!

[@cayetanolopez657]

Amazing video, Msfs2024 is getting better, thank you life saver!

[@IslandSimPilot]

You're welcome!

[@Glider324]

On short final the windsock is pointing opposite to your crab angle. I was hoping they fixed that in 2024.

[@IslandSimPilot]

That's weird, I didn't even notice. I use the indication on the PFD for wind direction. You're absolutely correct.

[@bradclooney69]

They took MSFS2020 and made it far worse, RIP

[@chrisbellamy2927]

update , just tried it at raf valley 6000ft local vr with a 4070 75/80 fps set to auto = tlod upto 268 and olod 150 ? this is a game changer for this half baked game.

[@IslandSimPilot]

I feel the same way. It was good for 2020, this app is insanely good for 2024.

[@scotkelly9880]

so before the latest patch my sim was working extremely well, since the update I have had the issue that many have had that while on the ground at a lot of airports, fps is un usable, should I probably wait until Asobo addresses that in your opinion, and as always thanks for the content!!!!!

[@vonduck1]

great video and i think ill start using it... a question... do i need to adjust any IN SIM settings first? Cheers and thanks for youre excellent tutorials!

[@IslandSimPilot]

Initially I wouldn't change any of your in-game settings. If you get amazing performance, then I would start slowly increasing various settings until you hit a plateau.

[@ResetXPDR]

Non-expert mode will base its settings off your existing MSFS settings. In expert mode, you can make your own settings. Either way, the app restores your original MSFS settings when it exits.

[@aavvv_]

Any thoughts on whether this increases the amount of scenery data streamed over the network connection? For people with bandwidth and/or data cap issues

[@IslandSimPilot]

Now that is an excellent question, I really don't know.

[@aavvv_]

@@IslandSimPilot Been difficult to understand how the sim is handling what it pulls down, seems pretty inconsistent to me so far. Only complicated by the fact Asobo said the caching is not yet working as it should lol. Nonetheless AutoFPS looks very useful, appreciate all the work you do to show off things that may help!

[@ResetXPDR]

If your settings result in higher overall LODs being used for most of the flight, then yes I suppose it will increase the amount of data streamed. If you don't want any increase, set the TLOD max under expert settings to be no higher than what you were running as TLOD before this app and your system will download slightly less data because it will sometimes be using lower TLOD than this, but never higher.

[@RobertSaad]

Great update thank you Will you do a quick vid on your settings? Nvidia. Game and control panel And MSFS 2024 graphics settings Would be super helpful

[@haydenchapman3431]

Do you know if it will work on a triple screen setup, or it will only see the main screen and base your settings off the 1 monitor?

[@IslandSimPilot]

Not sure about multiple monitors, the readme doesn't say anything.

[@haydenchapman3431]

@ thanks for getting back to me.

[@valet2972]

I hope Dynamic lod gets updated for fs24 too

[@ResetXPDR]

My version of Dynamic LOD has also been updated to dual 2020/2024 compatibility

[@hbieshe]

tlod and OLOD are not being read from the sim and thus not adjusted by AUTOfps. Also, autotarget FPS is ON, but does not show a figure, just the word 'auto'. What am I missing here ? FPM shows a figure that corresponds with what is happening in the sim so as far as I can see, the sim is connected to AutoFPS

[@ResetXPDR]

Raise an issue on my github and I'll see if I can get you sorted. KZbin won't let me post a link sorry.

[@budgetflightsim]

FINALLY.

[@scorpian007]

Is it possible to test this out at a heavy airport like KLAX or KJFK?

[@poolhallshark]

[@flightsimdronenexus]

Looks great in 2D, I'm not sure if it would help much in VR. I tried a similar program for 2020 in VR and it didn't help much. Hopefully this is different.

[@ResetXPDR]

I use it all the time in VR and it works fine. Just don't be too aggressive with your settings.

[@flightsimdronenexus]

@ResetXPDR That's great to hear. I'll take a look at it, thanks.

[@ResetXPDR]

@@flightsimdronenexus If you use motion reprojection, use the Auto TLOD automation method as that is tuned for a capped FPS.

@@ResetXPDR Thank you for this info. I typically use the Virtual Desktop app for the Quest 3, will this interfere with your program? Also, I literally just downloaded it about 15 minutes ago. Is there an installer or do I put the files in the community folder? I haven't had time to review any documentation. Thanks again.

[@ResetXPDR]

@@flightsimdronenexus I use VD and the Quest 3 with it and it works fine. You really need to read the readme on how to install and use it otherwise I will just be quoting from the readme that you could simply read yourself :). I've been as succinct as possible in it.

[@sergiolamares]

thanks for the vid! Very helpful. One quetion, what shoud one set in 2024 graphics settings, regarding Dynamic LOD, ON or OFF ? thanks!

[@ResetXPDR]

It doesn't matter. The app switches it off while the app is controlling the show, then restores your original setting when finished.

[@sergiolamares]

@ ah great! Thanks for clearing it up!

[@ResetXPDR]

Doesn't matter. The app turns them off while it is in control and restores the original settings when it is finished.

[@markbates2098]

Might be a silly question but how to you get tlod higher than 400?

[@chrisibbotson6367]

type in a figure higher than 400 and it will input it into the UserCfg.opt file. Adjusting in the sim is purely limited by the slider. Theres one well known contributer on Avsim uses something like TLOD 900

[@ResetXPDR]

In non-expert VFR mode the app can go up to 3X higher than your current MSFS 2024 TLOD setting, but no higher than 1000. Just because it can it doesn't mean it will our should. TLOD 1000 will choke even the most powerful of systems.

[@oliverbarth4699]

Hi. FG is not recognized in the app even though I have the FG mod installed and it is also activated in the sim. What could be the reason? It worked with Atofps 2020 too...but unfortunately not with MSFS2024. It shows: PC DX12 instead of FG

[@ResetXPDR]

I'm looking in to this. Seems to be an MS Store versus Steam MSFS version detection issue on your end. We'll get to the bottom of it.

[@ResetXPDR]

We got it sorted. There was a phantom Steam MSFS Install on the system even though the MS Store version was installed. Very strange!

[@vracan]

in VR the target fps does not actually keep actual fps of my headset. i.e. I set target fps to 40 but my headset fps is showing 50-60fps. Am I not understanding something?

[@ResetXPDR]

It sounds like your settings in the app are too low and the app is having no trouble achieving them, so increase them and see what happens. The readme covers what each of the settings do.

[@vracan]

@@ResetXPDR no my headset is set to run 90fps, which easily achieved in dcs, but in msfs2024 it runs 50-60fps(stutterfest) no matter what I set as target fps. The whole point was to limit fps to say 40 as long as its stable and smooth but this app does not do that

[@ResetXPDR]

@@vracan Raise an issue on my gihub repo, including a screenshot of the app window when you say it is not working and the log file, and I will take a look at it.

[@ResetXPDR]

@@vracan BTW, this app does not limit FPS, it uses a target FPS to adjust settings. If you want to just set an FPS cap then use RTSS, nVidia Control Panel or whatever the AMD equivalent is, or even OpenXR toolkit and set one in there.
