FYI, performance results for the Arc 770 in SU2 Beta v1.4.7.0 on my PC:

Enabling Frame Generation and Dynamic Settings makes a big difference!

Does anyone use/own/heard that you can use an ARC GPU (A770 or B580) with a BigscreenBeyond headset?
I was using my A770 succesfully on a Reverb G2 for a year until the cable broke.
Now using a PSVR2 PC on the A770.
Bigscreen says only compatible with NV and AMD. Intel says not compatible with VR.
Any insights?
Thanks
Stu

Hi all, I’m running MSFS 2024 with an Intel Arc A750 and am very satisfied with its performance. I have a seemingly simple problem with optimizing the Intel Graphics Software for MSFS, however I cannot find the solution: Can anyone tell, how MSFS can be added as a game profile to the Intel Graphics Software?. It is not recognized automatically, and I cannot find the required path for adding it manually. Thanks in advance!

MSFSRonS · May 4, 2025, 10:17pm

The exe for FS2024 is in the “Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\Content” folder.

Use File Explorer and search “This PC” for that folder.

The exe is in that folder.

HaleKnot2097672 · May 7, 2025, 7:18pm

Hi Ron, thanks a lot & sorry for my late reply. I was indeed searching in the famous C:\Users\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_…" directory. Unfortunately, I still cannot add the exe for MSFS2024, because now, Intel Graphics Software is stating that I have no admin rights to add the EXE … …

Of course, I can open Windows Explorer as Admin, but I cannot perform this from within of Intel Graphics Software …

Once more, no clue what to do.

Best regards
Ron (me too … )

MSFSRonS · May 7, 2025, 10:05pm

I don’t have a discrete Intel GPU installed so I can’t see what you
are referring to.

But looking at Windows 11 Display settings:

FS2024 exe gives me the “Don’t have Permission” message.

But the Gamelaunchhelper app does not.
Note the gamelaunchhelper app will launch FS2024.

HaleKnot2097672 · May 9, 2025, 7:55pm

Hi Ron, yes, that’s exactly the message I get. I have now added the GameLaunchHelper and will wait, if Intel Graphics Software will recognize, what is behind. It seems that MSFS has some proprietary obstacles, if the game was downloaded via XBoX/Third Party.

Thanks a lot for your kind support!
Ronald

MSFSRonS · May 10, 2025, 3:09am

Did Intel accept it?

HaleKnot2097672 · May 10, 2025, 3:09pm

You can add the link to GameLaunchHelper, but it seems to have no impact. Intel Graphics Software does not recognize the App behind, nor does it seem to log any activity/performance information.
