  1. Going to add my personal thanks to Reset for this app he has so graciously given so much of his time and attention to produce for the community. I have been raising and lowering my TLOD and OLOD settings manually for quite a while now, adding it to my workflow in flight. While not difficult to do and only taking a few seconds to accomplish, nevertheless it was a chore. Reset's app does the same thing I was doing manually automatic, thus eliminating those steps from my workflow. It works extremely well and in conjunction with my FPS lock, G-Sync and V-Sync settings makes for very smooth, virtually stutter free flights that are so enjoyable. If you haven't tried it, feel free to do so and see if it works well for you as it has for so many. I think most simmers will be pleasantly surprised at how it improves your simming experience. Asobo, if you're reading this thread, you really should integrate something similar to this in MS2024. It's definitely a difference maker in flight smoothness for many users who don't have the most powerful systems available at this time. Thanks again Reset!!
  2. If you don't select "open window on app start", then you find the icon for the app on your taskbar or your hidden icons, right click on it and then select show window. The app will then appear.
  3. Thanks for that chart, could you possibly do a similar chart on buildings? I am particularly interested in building draw distance; I am guessing it is similar to or the same as tree draw distance.
  4. Okay, so this is a no go for me right now, as I'm getting some visual artifacts when I need to pop up a menu, plus some terrain oddities that I think are caused by having to use DX12. (I am not going to reduce terrain resolution). I will continue to monitor the development of this mod and may try it again at a later date. I am genuinely happy for all those users who are finding a benefit in this.
  5. I don't, but I know Noel does and was interested in how using this mod affected his settings in regards to his FRV findings. I set NVCP to 30 fps myself as that value gives me totally fluid, smooth and stutter free flights. So if I were to adopt this mod I would need to set NVCP frame limiter to 60 fps to achieve the same results is what I think the advice is.
  6. Thanks for the info Noel, appreciate the quick reply.
  7. Hey Noel, if you're trying this what adjustments, if any, are you making to your frame rate settings in RTSS in regards to keeping FRV down?
  8. Reading this thread with interest. Question: Do you run this module before every startup of MSFS, or is it a one time setup thing?
  9. FWIW, this is what I do on my "low end" system (i-9 9900k, 2080 Super 8gb, 32gb ram, SSD drives, 1080p 24" monitor). I have a mix of Ultra and High settings with a few Mediums sprinkled in, TLOD of 350, OLOD of 100, raster set to 100. Buildings and Trees are on Ultra and I run the TLOD at 350 so I get the maximum draw distance for both, because I can't stand the look or the popping in and out otherwise. I set fps to 30 using NVCP as I found it is both more stable and fluid (smoother, if you will) than using the in game Vsync settings. My result is delightful, very smooth flight, virtually no stutters and an overall pleasing experience. I fly mostly the Vision jet now ( love this plane ) vs. my old and trusty C172 G1000 Nxi. I also do this: at or very near the FAF, I quickly pause the SIM and set TLOD to 100 and then resume my flight to the finish. The result is a continued smooth landing and taxi in to my parking spot without a stuttering mess at more detailed airports. After the flight is complete I reset TLOD to 350 for the next flight. This routine works for me, is easy to do and does not "ruin the immersion" as some.like to say. For MSFS 2024 I really think the SIM should be coded to shift (or adjust) TLOD to do this automatically at lower altitudes. Maybe it's not possible or desirable "on the fly" to do this but it sure seems like a worthy thing to try. Sorry for the long winded post, but you asked. 😊 What it boils down to is each individual has to find settings and a routine that pleases them on their individual system to maximize their enjoyment of the sim. That's all that really matters.
  10. Yeah, glad you saw my post. I had the same issue and that fixed it for me, so happy it helped someone else. Enjoy the changes!
  11. Too bad the finallight.fx filter from Reshade doesn't work with nvidia filters, I have read many recommendations on how it enhances MSFS. I do use Nvidia filters and I'm quite pleased with my setup, but would like to try that finallight filter. Perhaps a version for nvidia will be available sometime.
  12. Ok, I managed to sort this out and it's now working. My problem was editing the ini file with Notepad++, apparently I was using the program without admininstrator rights because when I switched to Wordpad to make the coefficient value changes instead of Notepad and then started the sim everything worked, including the toggle switch. Love the new colors, seeing them in person on my system makes a big difference. Thanks to everyone involved with this, will enjoy it going forward.
  13. Thanks for the tip, I'm looking at this again now to see if I'm doing something wrong with the editing of the .ini file. I'll report back in a little bit with what I find.
  14. Yeah, I'm going to investigate this further today. It ought to be working, but the toggle is doing nothing so I'm at a loss as to why at this point. My keyboard mapping perhaps? Don't know at this point...
  15. File size is 141,608; installation is in my C:\XboxGames\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Content folder. Yes, and also tried using a different key. It's possible the change is working in the sim and only the toggle key function isn't working with my keyboard, but without the toggle working I can't be sure if the color changes are working or not.
