Thank you very much
Yes is exactly that one, has no performance repercussions.
What will happen if I do this?
Scaling to max quality - does that mean it sets AMD FSR to max quality even on balanced setting?
This sounds awesome because the displays become literally ugly and unrealistic blurry with AMD FSR on
I am using iGPU for rendering the Fenix displays and you can see the improvement in the picture.
If you are using GPU for rendering the displays (i.e. the option “Use Alternative Display Renderer” is UNchecked in the Fenix app), editing the file fenixConfig.xml doesn’t help. In that case the parameter “displayScale” is most likely already 1.
I am not using DLSS or FSR.
Hello guys, it is my first flight in the new version of the fenix and unfortunately i am having some issues in VR. Once i enter VR (i am using a Pimax Crystal) the autopilot wont react to my input as well as the MCDU (or FMC). Is this a known issue? i am not sure if it has to do with the Pimax? or with Fenix? is there a workaround?
I see absolutely no increase in performance with v2, arguably even a little (very little) worse performance. Tried both with “alternative” checked and not.
In v1 I would set the option to use my GPU. I’m not sure what that same config is in v2 but I tried all the options. Checking “alternative” is a couple FPS better than not, and I find on my 7950x3d actually if I do NOT check it, then there is more CPU load which spills over into the parked CCD.
But tl;dr for me is with v1 in my test scenario I am pretty much locked at 60fps staying green the whole time, where as with v2 at best I’m 60fps wit an occasional drop into red with 57-60fps
Definitely not seeing this massive increase reported by the devs.
Yes, my performance is also worse, though there is a patch coming soon which should help some users who are seeing worse performance.
Don’t use VR controllers. Everything works when using a mouse.
I am not using the controllers, only the mouse. I guess you have no issue at all right?
It also works with VR controllers, I fly it all the time, though with controllers you have to setup some custom bindings (not Fenix specific) or you’ll pull your hair out until you give up.
Perhaps you can be more specific, what do you mean AP won’t react. Maybe start with MCDU since that’s easier to test I guess, do you get the interaction cursor over any buttons? Are you on legacy or interactive input method?
Yes, I use mouse in VR and everything works. I saw many people complaining that Fenix (at least V1) does not work very well with VR controllers but as I see it’s not the case.
For example, once I am in VR and I want to change the altitude, the numbers will not change. If I want to set up my flight plan in the MCDU, It won’t react to any input. If I want to change my screen in the primary display to VOR if won’t do anything. The knob itself will move but the screen does not change.
If I step out from VR, all starts working fine…
I am on modern mode. The issue is only with the fenix all other aircraft are working fine.
What headset are you using? It might be a pimax issue but I am lacking more investigation…
May I ask what headset are you using?
I use the G2.
Perhaps try that “Use display synchronization” option in the launcher. It’s possible that in VR your PC is so overloaded/focused on MSFS that the fenix*.exes in the background don’t have time to breath.
Thanks! I haven’t tried this, we will see
Reverb G2 as well.
I have the same CPU and also experienced worse performance. Try setting the Fenix App to “Remember this is a game” in XBox Game bar, if you have not already done so. This helped and brought about the same performance as V1 on my system.
my only gripe with the latest version is that when starting your flight i get fantastic FPS, better than before, but after i land at any airport my FPS just tanks down to low 20’s from 50 in the beginning…not sure what could be causing this…
That applies to all airplanes I fly, not only Fenix. I always have a much better perfomance on the departure airport.
