Should you lock FPS? 

I try to stay out of the rabbit hole too. As long as I dont get stutters I dont worry too much about it. We could easily spend all of our time making setting changes. There are so many options

It seems that I live permanently in the rabbit hole, so it's nice to have some company 😅

@@manic_miner Good point 👍🏻 My main reason for locking fps is to get as low frame time variance as possible (reduce stutters). The other reason is to match fps to display refresh rate (prevent tearing).

@@captainpiett765 which is strange in this video because when locked with RTSS I can still see regular variances in your frametime. I don't see that after fine tuning the framerate in RTSS. 59,60,61 and 62 all gave slight variances. For whatever reason 63 gives me the smoothest line with no variances. Similar system to you but 5800X3D and 64gb RAM.

@@manic_miner It depends highly on the load on the CPU. Normally I can achieve very good frame time variance. AI traffic is for me the biggest issue - high levels always leads to poor frame time consistency. I can’t remember which traffic setting I used in this video. So in other words: it depends. I also have the best results locking to 63 with FPS. Having perfect frame time variance 100% of the time is unrealistic IMO.

@@captainpiett765 Maybe it was your recording software causing them? AI traffic is a killer. I'm using FSHud with 15 Parked and 10 active and can hold 60fps in most place except heavy hitters like EGLL in a jet. Any higher and my FPS go too low for me. I use Track-IR so anything below 60 is not smooth enough for me.

@@manic_miner Can't rule out OBS, although I agree that AI traffic is a menace as it tortures the main thread. Hopefully this will improve in MSFS2024

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

Haha same here - before I always tried to get the highest fps possible!

60fps with FG or without?

I'm using Wondershare Filmora for video editing

With a 40 series GPU you don't need any mod for frame generation, just enable in sim settings. Shimmering on objects is a bit more tricky to get rid of.

@@captainpiett765 thanks, what is DLSS G etc people download and drop in Msfs content folder really confused here.

@@CaptRajuseriousflightsimmer There are different DLSS presets e.g. E and F. My settings guide might be useful as I go in depth on this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1ldDZNtYmPE.html

@@captainpiett765 Thank you so much

Thanks! I sometimes get stutters on takeoff/approach, usually when TLOD and/or traffic settings are too high, especially at major hubs (KLAX etc).

EXPO on SMT off. I tested in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_nTDQSE8eHU.html

I have monitor Hz set to 100 but I’m running G-sync so no tearing. 63 is a bit random, 60 or 65 should probably have worked equally well. 63 is a value that works well with my hardware most of the time.

I have an RTX40-series GPU so no need for it
