Another excellent addon, especially for VR. I tested it and it worked great.
Thanks for introducing. Hugs from Sao Paulo Brazil!
Happy stutterfree flying mate!! 💯
Mike thanks for your so informative video, it helped so much to experience so smooth flight. Thank you😂
Great to hear!
I'm impressed! You found the tiny "mini-mode" button on the upper left corner already! :)
Hahaha yes, I found it when I tried to resize the window and accidentally clicked on it. Thank you so much for this application!!! BTW, I really respect how you handled it with ResetXPDR. 👏 Do you have any thought on how to apply the two tweaks settings? (terrain vs objects balanse and te aggessiveness slider) Cheers Mike
@@VirtusimThe Terrain vs Object preference is only used when the tool decides that it is time to give the sim more load... as the average FPS is high enough to warrant it. Deciding which of the LOD values to change is based mostly on the two ranges (that you, as the user set up in the Limits menu), and the relative position within those limits that the sim currently resides. If that sounds like fuzzy logic, it sorta is.
It's trying to emulate the decision that you might make if you (as a human) would look at those 2 options and have the job of: "You only have one coin to spend on one of these options. How would you spend it?"
The priority slider gives you one last chance to sway that decision a bit. So if you slide that all the way to the left, it's going to almost ignore Object LOD values and load up Terrain LOD. Slide to the right gives a preference to Objects. Which is why by default it's 2 ticks closer to the left. We know that the more noticeable change is going to be to add some Terrain detail. But we can't ignore Objects, so it's a fuzzy human decision making algorithm that arguable can be ignored. But it's there if the "Tweaky" side of you needs to tweak.
@@VirtusimThe Aggressiveness slider is tied to the "Auto-set low limit using AGL" option. This will likely not make the cut to any production version. That's primarily due to the fact that the normal adjust-as-you-fly based on Actual Graphics Load is better and more accurate anyway. but I have it there because it's currently in the "let's test it to see if it has value" stage.
@somewhereelsestudio6342 Thanks man, I'll leave it unchecked then.
Once again Mike another great video. I will be adding this tonight. If I may, one off topic question. Where did you find the livery with the red interior. I have seen a few different interior color's in different videos, but my liveries are all the same. Thanks
@wingnuttb Thanks, I found the liverie on Flightsim TO: flightsim.to/file/69598/a2a-pa24-comanche-c-gjtl
Thanks for your video. Did not try this version. I will try it. 😊 did you also empty your shader cache? That works very well for me.
@ard1400 you’re welcome. I didn’t empty the shader cache this time, but yes, that works very well. Know that when I’m recording in VR it will cost me about 5fps. That’s why I was on the low side of the fps in the video. 🤜🏽
Thanks. It isn't a miracle solution but can help because we don't need high tlod near the ground.
@Glider324 True, this application and the other two do just that. I love this one because the UI is very pleasant to work with and the results are great.
Thank you. i dont understand something though. How do you accoplish step 6 trough the Meta App. I have tried it and found no way to bringing the box into my cockpit.
When I try to download this I don't seem to be able to find the app in Google drive. I just get Mobi Connect and a text file for SmoothFlight change log. Can anyone help? Sorry if I'm being dumb
Thanks Mike
Thanks for the review. I tried it out and while it definitely made things smoother. One thing I noticed is whenever an adjustment is made by the program i hear a distinct click in my headset (pimax Crystal). Anyone else experiencing this?
My pleasure Steve, I never noticed a distant click, but I'm about to jump in the sim to check it.
Great video thanks,. Went to sight to down load the app and couldn't find the smooth flight download app. found the packages I believe that go to the community folder. Am I missing something? Any help would be great, thanks.
Thanks, I think the developer stopped with this app
can you help me set the settings on smoothflight? i moved them around and messed up my fps. i have a 3060ti overclocked. what should i set thelimits too and tweaks?
Set TLOD and OLOD to 100 and you're good to go.
Hi - I just tried this and it did improve the smoothness of my flight around the NYC area by KLGA, but I'm not understanding how you're supposed to get it to show up in VR? I have a Quest 2 but there's nothing in the Oculus software that I'm recognizing will help the UI appear for me in my headset when I'm in VR mode. Any ideas?
Yes. I know of 2 ways to get a window in VR, and that's not counting the myriad of 3rd party tools that also claim to do this. But it's so much easier to show you than tell you. I'll try to give you the steps here, but I have to make up words for things I don't know the proper terminology for. :)
Step 1: connect your quest to the computer. I connect via Quest LInk Cable. I don't know if VD looks different so you might have to translate.
2. From that first screen should see the whatever your startup screen is.. and a "ribbon menu" at the bottom. On the far right of that ribbon menu is a Plus Sign. Click on that
3. From there, you can select the window you want to bring into VR. If SmoothFlight is already open, you can select it.
4. You can resize it, bring it closer or further away from you, change the angle...etc. PUt it roughly where you think you'll want it in the VR space. Don't obsess over this step. It doesn't have to be perfect. You can ( and likely will) change it later, but for now, you just need it visible and not blocking the majority of the screen.
5. Important step: On the lower taskbar of that window you'll see a pin. Hovering over it will bring up the tooltip: "Pin to Experience". Clicking that pin makes the window stay visible when you go into VR. These 5 steps will take you a total of 5 or 6 seconds once you've done them a few times. Just consider it part of your checklist.
6. After you're in VR and have yourself seated and are done moving yourself around to make it look like you're properly sitting in your chair... (and you know we have to do this every flight), click the flat oculus button on your right controller. This will put you in a sort-of halfway mode. Half in VR and half in the setup screen. From here you can grab the floating window and finish placing it where you want it. Then click the oculus button to return to VR and you're good to go.
7 Making changes to that windowed app is still a bit klunky.. as it's not actually in VR with you. Just the face of the screen is projected there. So in order to interact with that app, you have to either:
a) Briefly take your headset off and interact on your 2d screen or
b) Alt-Tab in VR to make the app become the "In-focus" app.
Make changes, and then Alt-Tab back into MSFS
Yes, that's a klunky way. but you're really supposed to set it and go fly...not have to tweak it. The point of automatically adjusting settings is so that doesn't interrupt the enjoyment and immersion of the flight. But if you do feel the need to watch it work, then I suggest using the Mini-Mode. You can either resize the app manually or click on the tiny silver button in the upper left. Then drag that tiny screen into VR with you and stick it unobtrusively on the dash somewhere Like it was a post-it note. :)
@@somewhereelsestudio6342 Thanks for taking the time out to explain that process...sounds very simple but I use AirLink (wireless instead of cable) and I dont recall seeing that plus sign anywhere when you first load into the airlink menu but i will of course try again and pay better attention for that :-)
@@tikibird8053I "THINK" it is there using Airlink. but if it isn't, I can give you the 2nd way to do it. It's only a few more steps.
@@somewhereelsestudio6342 Thank you, it worked! Apparently I never knew what that plus sign was for before 🙂
@@tikibird8053I had the very same "ah-hah" moment. Glad to help
Have done some testing on these and both still show visible repainting. So the title NO MORE STUTTERS is not true....even the developer of smooth flight app has stated in the vr flight sim guy review video that stutters may well come back
@GunPilot There will always be stutters, like in any other game. But at least this application reduces the stutters we have, to a bare minimum. In a way, the tiitle is true, There are not more stutters, but less ;) Anyway, thanks and happy flying with less stutters
It would be more accurate to say that fixing most of your stutters based on graphics is great, but it is not going to fix the stutters that are caused by downloads
Hi Mike. The download link on hes website gives me the wrong file (MobiConnect?!). I can't find an email or something to contact the creator. Do you have an idea how I can get the right installation file for SmoothFlight? Tnx.
Hi, I think the creator puled the plug on this software. You are better of using AutoFPS
github.com/ResetXPDR/MSFS2020_AutoFPS
@@Virtusim I suspected something like that too. These kinds of tools also seem to be countered by Asobo. I already use AutoFps but would like to compare them.
I just cannot get this mod running no matter what order I try it. I've followed the instructions on the website and tried different booting orders, all to no effect. I have no idea how to bring up the app with my pico 4 in vr mode and msfs just ignores it.
Very sad to hear that. I don’t think I can help you with that. I have a HP G2 and I need fsdesktop to show it in VR or just look underneath the headset. Hope you will find a solution
Hey how do i make the yellowish over exposed image go away?
I'm not sure what you mean
For some reason I can't download Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime. I always get a Setup Failed message. It's annoying.
That's sad to hear, but I don't think anyone here is really qualified to troubleshoot why a Windows DotNet install is failing. You might have to contact them.
I use virtual desktop and not oculus link! How do I get the autofps window inside the VR?
I don't know, I use the Hp G2
What about VATSIM? Do you get the same FPS? Lot of people on youtube don’t mention the FPS you all get in vatsim with all this tools. Ofcourse on normal flight its butter smooth for me aswell with or without these tools.
Hi, I don't use Vatsim. I know nthat AI traffic really hurts the FPS
Can't figure out how to get it to show in vr. I use quest 3 but don't understand how to het graph to show in vr please. Thank you!
The developer, @somewhereelsestudio6342, of this application gave someone else this answer:

Thank you for your reply. This has been a big help.
Hi there, Ive asked on another video, the "connected and controllable"bit are red for me, but sim running is green..ive installed what i needed, i think, not sure why it`s not working. any help guys...
@somewhereelestudio6342 Do you have any idea why he has 2 red connection?
Same
The most common cause of this is not rebooting flight simulator after you've installed the Mobi Sim app.
copy only folder Mobiflight-event-module to your community folder, so no MobiConnect as first folder.
@@MrColja1 Thanks i just looked, it is copied like that, but not working, oh well thanks..
Nothing in the download except a .txt file and the "Mobiconnect.zip" - Has this been discontinued already?
Yes, it’s discontinued. Use autofps instead
there is no default reset. i moved the settings too high for my 3060ti and now sim is messed. what are the default tlod and old please or recomendations for settings for my kind of setup? any help would be greatly appreciated
The computer is not messed up. Go into your graphics settings...change terrain LOD to 100. Change object LOD to 100. That's a good place to start. No other settings on your computer were modified
Thank you but I met the settings in the new smooth flight app. what should i set the limits too ?
@@somewhereelsestudio6342
@@somewhereelsestudio6342 hey can you help me again? i got a new pc and i cant download the smoothflight app installer. its not showing when i download and extract the smoothflight and mobiconnect 2 files.
Can i ask where can i find this red interior cockpit ?
You can find it on flightsim.to
flightsim.to/file/69598/a2a-pa24-comanche-c-gjtl
@@Virtusim Many thanks, Mike 👍
is it avaiable anymore i just get a changelog no exe
No, better use AutoFPS
my eyes must be broken because I still see stuttering, particularly when panning
Well, it's not magic and probably won't work for everyone. But stuttering is still caused by trying to get the computer to do something it's not capable of. And because there are lots of parameters you can change it is still possible to try to demand too much... what is your minimum FPS set to? And can your computer easily hit those numbers flying in moderate scenery?
There doesnt seem to be a smoothflight exe file?
I think he just pulled the plug on this app. To be sure, try to contact the developer.
What is the plane you are using?
In the opening of the video it’s the blacksquare cessna caravan and the other one is the A2A piper Comanche.
Where is mobiconnect located?
Just copy it to your community folder and restart te sim.
@@Virtusim where is the zip file located to download
Go to the website I mentioned in the video description and scroll down. There you will see the download button for the files.
drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Pzdl6oFEj0dMdEYZB9zv5gxszs2ob3Bx?usp=sharing
Here you go mate!!! 👊🏽
There is no Exe file in the zip file :(
I just saw that. Please contact the developer.
Couldn’t get it to connect. Any ideas ?
Have same problem.
Sorry. The only time it ever failed to connect for me is when I tried to run it without rebooting MSFS after putting the "mobiflight-event-module" in the community folder. Once I realized I missed a step, I said "Well duh!" and haven't had an issue since then.
The "Sim Running" words will turn green when it notices that MSFS is running.
The "Connected" word will turn green when it has connected with the module that listens to the flight sim.
The "Controllable" word turns green when you've got an active session running and it's capable of modifying your graphics settings.
Make sure you have mobi-event-module (Mobiconnect.zip) in your community folder. If you use addon linker, activate it there too. Reboot the sim and you're good to go.
All these tools are getting to much.
😂 I get it. Just use the tool that suits you 👊🏽
Do you feel this is better than the first to you mentioned?
For me personally, this one feels better. But I think it depends on what and how you fly. I fly mainly in GA between 1000 and 8000 ft. When you flyu airliners it may be different. Just try them all, they're all free :)
@@Virtusim ...and I tend to fly really low and fast following a river. It's nice to be able to switch between that and "normal" flying without feeling like I should load a different preset for each crazy idea I get. Or as one of my buddies says: Finally I can go join a group flight with 15 other guys and not have to go tweak the graphics.
