OK, I have this working now. I loaded the stock Cesnna 172 (glass version), then created a flight plan from the EFB. I loaded the EFB flightplan into MCE and it's now working.

I really appreciate this, but I'm not able to communicate with Native ATC. I have MSFS 2024 at version 1.6.34.0 (not the beta) I updated MCE to version 3.1.49. I copied the new Simco64_ldr.exe (v2.3.9.8) into C:\Program Files (X86)\Multi Crew Experience (I renamed the original). MCE automatically loaded a SimBrief flightplan. The ATC tab under flight info, shows the flightplan, but VHF contact states 'Not Established'. In the MCE.ini file, I have UseWithVoxATC=0 (I did have it set to 1 as I used it with FSHud).

...for MCE integration? With all the talk of BATC and Say Intentions for VFR, I'd like to try MCE again for Native ATC VFR flights... I currently have MCE v 3.1.41

Could this one-time option change to allowing to try both? That way, if I'm not sure and I can try both ways before deciding which is best for me.

This sounds very good...so basically I get all the features of VR Auto Optimizer along with all the goodness of AutoFPS.

Just wondering how your latest version of AutoFPS compares to VR Auto‑Optimizer...does the latest AutoFPS basically incorporate the same features as VR Auto‑Optimizer?

I originally had two monitors and moved Auto_FPS to my second monitor. Now, I only have one monitor and I cannot see AutoFPS on my only monitor. I think AutoFPS is on my "second monitor", which is no longer there. If true, how can I setup AutoFPS to show on my first monitor?

Me too...started just a few minutes ago for me.

Well, what I posted is "and you said no (and not possible)". What I mean by this, is that you previously said "By design, the NVIDIA app overlay (Alt+Z) and its performance metrics (Alt+R) do not appear inside a VR headset; they are rendered on the standard 2D desktop monitor.". What I'm really trying to find out, is how can I show FPS in VR as you have shown in your screen shot above.

This picture looks like it is showing FPS in VR...is that true? I know I asked you in another post, and you said no (and not possible), but this picture is definitely showing the camera menu in VR...

It turns out, there was more to the story. Of course, frame gen must be off for smooth motion to work. But, frame gen and overclocking of my 5090 was not the culprit... It turns out that running TechPowerUp GPU-Z along with MSFS_AutoFPS BEFORE starting MSFS 2024, is the real reason FS24 CTD with Smooth Motion ON. I tested this several times, and if I start GPU-Z and MSFS_AutoFPS before starting FS2024, it will CTD with Smooth Motion ON. If I do NOT start GPU-Z and MSFS_AutoFPS before FS2024, it does NOT CTD with Smooth Motion ON. Interestingly enough, once FS24 boots up OK and I spawn into an airport, I can start GPU-Z and MSFS_AutoFPS without issue.

It's a combination of seeing the control accessories when I fly and also reading my texts on my phone. I can do all of that without either taking my headset off or lifting it up to peak underneath. So, yes I do miss the great color passthrough. As far as comfort, the Quest 3 is a little lighter than the Pimax Super. But, not enough to really make a difference. I don't know about the Crystal Light because I've never had one. Yes, I really wish Pimax would add a color passthrough as good as the Quest 3.

Well, I started with the Quest 3 and just went to the Pimax Super recently. I debated on keeping the Pimax, so I used the Quest 3 again for FS 2024. I much prefer the Pimax Super over the Quest 3. I only either of them for MSFS 2024. I do like the Quest 3, it has a very nice color pass through, which I really miss. And using Virtual Desktop via Wifi is really nice too. But, the Pimax Super is the one I'll stay with.

So, I don't understand, how did you get your screenshot in 3D showing FPS?

I cannot get the Nvidia overlay to show up in VR. I do see it in 2D...how do i get this in VR?

Yes, it came this way (I did not overclock it). It is a PNY NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 ARGB Epic-X Overclocked Triple Fan 32GB GDDR7. Really appreciate your help with this! Turning off FG also solved another minor issue. That is, when starting FS 2024, the startup video was stuttery...turning off FG made it smooth. Not a big problem, of course, but nice to know what caused it.

That was it. Thanks turbomax!

When I try Smooth Motion ON, it crashes MSFS 2024 upon startup. I can't figure out why...as soon as I turn off Smooth Motion, it runs fine. I am using the Nvidia App to use the Recommended DLSS, which is 310.5.2. The Nvidia app also sets the preset to K. I'd really like to see how this runs with VR, but it crashes every time I try to use it. I can see you are able to use it, so I'm not sure what I'm missing...

Yes, and its great that it includes the MSFS 2024 SDK installation too.

I just had one of the nicest flights yet in MSFS 2024. Using FSHud to control the AI traffic, along with it's ATC, I flew from KLAS to KSFO using the PMDG 737 BBJ (latest MP Upgraded version). All went very smoothly using FSHud. I converted one of my favorite BBJ liveries from MSFS 2020 to MSFS 2024 using https://flightsim.to/file/101791/ptp-installer-for-pmdg-737-800-msfs-2024-only from flightsim TO. It converted the livery without any issues.

When I upgrade to a new version of Pimax Play, does it automatically uninstall the old version?

Or 30 for the upgrade in 2024...

Shift - C issue resolved...

I also used MCE with PF3. It worked very well. I now use FSHud and sometimes, I also use MCE. You can use MCE with FSHud. FSHud can automatically communicate with ATC, while MCE will provide the checklist you want.
