The DLSS ghosting on glass cockpits drove me crazy, especially the Fenix PFD tapes smearing in a climb. No DLSS preset fixes it (K, M and J all ghost), so I made a ReShade add-on that does.

The first 8 seconds are stock DLSS, the last 8 are with the fix. Fenix A320 at 4K, DLSS Performance (1080p internal), climbing at about 6,700 ft/min.

Watch in full quality on YouTube.

It redraws the screen content after DLSS using the sim’s own clean image, so tapes, the ND and ECAM pages stay sharp. Dirt, sun glare and night lighting are kept.

• Tested on the Fenix A320 family, iniBuilds A330 and the default DA62. Most glass cockpits should work.
• Works with DLSS Frame Generation, tested up to 6x. No measurable FPS cost.
• Needs an NVIDIA RTX card with DLSS selected, and ReShade with full add-on support.
• Tested on Game Pass. Steam should work the same; let me know if you’re on Steam.

It’s a beta, so feedback is welcome. If it doesn’t work, open the ReShade menu (Home): the add-on’s tab tells you what’s wrong, and “Copy report” gives you everything for a bug report on GitHub.

Inspired by a post here a while back where someone flew the US perimeter in a 172 (79 legs!), I set out to do my own version, starting and ending at my home field, KLZU (Gwinnett County / Briscoe Field) outside Atlanta. I tried to trace the actual border or coastline as closely as possible instead of flying direct.

I used Claude the whole time, from creating flight plans to asking lots of questions about anything I didn't understand. It was quite a pleasant way to learn, IMO.

Happy to answer questions or share route strings if anyone wants to try it! Super fun and wanting to plan for Africa next. :D

High level

• Dates: Aug 28 – Oct 11, 2026
• Landings: 35
• Planned distance: 7,814 nm (actual flown was higher thanks to all the border/coast tracing)
• Aircraft: Cirrus Vision Jet G2 (legs 1–11), Citation Longitude (Tucson onward)
• Fuel logged: ~9,200 gal

Components involved

• MSFS 2024
• SimBrief
• Navigraph charts
• SayIntentions.AI for ATC
• Volanta for tracking
• AutoFPS
• All logging in a Google Sheet by Claude

What I wish I'd known at the start...

Route planning / import

• The MSFS world-map import of a SimBrief plan dropped airports used as en-route waypoints, so my routes collapsed into straight lines.
• VORs and named fixes imported cleanly every time. Switching to VOR-based routes fixed it.
• A single lat/lon coordinate mixed with navaids imported fine (great for points like Cape Hatteras). Long all-coordinate routes were where I had the most trouble.
• Lots of VORs have been decommissioned or turned into DME/TACAN-only. SimBrief usually still accepts them, but check that each one draws where you expect.
• Always check the world map (and the FMS flight plan) for the bends before pushback.

Performance

• One time my FPS tanked to ~9 mid-trip. Cause: VRAM overflowing into shared system memory. The culprit was **NVIDIA Instant Replay at 4K**. Turning it off plus a reboot took me from 9 fps back to 60–78.
• The dev mode overlay's GPUMem line (usage vs. budget) is the number to watch.
• AutoFPS works great, but change its managed settings (clouds, TLOD) between flights, not mid-flight, or it'll revert them.

SayIntentions ATC

• On flights where I spawned on the runway and/or filed all-coordinate routes, ATC got confused: early descents, vectors off the filed route. Gate starts with named waypoints behaved much better.

Fuel

• Leaving SimBrief block fuel on AUTO out of LaGuardia, I landed in Norfolk with 780 lb and the master caution on. NYC departure delays and low-altitude vectors eat fuel. I set block fuel manually after that.

Again, happy to answer questions or share route strings if anyone wants to try it! :D

Just curious how many people here are actually using A Pilot’s Life regularly.

I’ve been using it myself and recently started working on a small companion add-on for A Pilot’s Life — not something that replaces APL, but something that runs alongside it and adds a deeper economy and management layer to your existing career.

Things like GSX services costing money, fuel/handling costs, airline balance, passenger satisfaction, flight stats etc., while still keeping APL as the career side of things.
It started mostly as something I wanted for myself and it somehow started turning into a proper app 😅

The part I’m most interested in is making the economy shared between players. So if multiple people fly for the same airline, everyone contributes to that airline’s economy through their flights. The airline earns and spends money based on what its pilots actually do, and there would also be rankings between airlines and pilots.
Basically, instead of everyone having their own isolated economy, you’d actually be building up your airline together with other people.

Would any other APL users actually use something like this?
Also curious what you guys feel is currently missing from APL or what you’d want an app like this to add.

Anybody have a link that works for the Just Flight - Avro Vulcan B Mk. 2, K.2 & MRR v1.3 (0.1.3) for MSFS2024 please thank you.
