Well, I don’t dare to say it’s solved, but it might be solved.
Ended as mysteriously as it started. I didn’t really do anything I think.
Did 1 flight, in not heavy scenery, but a group flight, with all my mods enabled again with no problem at all. Then I went to New York on my own in the Bell 47G, again no problem. Very fluid and no freezing at all!
So then I threw it into the deep end with FlyTampa’s Las Vegas. That is my new benchmark scene. It really struggles in the middle of the strip there, in day and even worse at night with all those lights around. Still struggling (down to 10fps while it loads in new textures I think) but I would think IF it was going to freeze and break audio, it would have done there. But it didn’t. Everything else the same I think, although I did install the dlss 3.7 (did that after the first sign of this problem, and it was still doing it after) and I even went up to using DLAA anti-aliasing method, which looks amazing actually with the 3.7 improvements. So all looks back to normal and maybe even a bit better.
It’s lucky we love this sim so much coz oh boy does it test your patience at times!! Lucky I have a lot of patience too!
