I have max fps almost everywhere, but spawning on a big airport like Frankfurt, LAX in airliner kills fps from 80 to 15-20, even on LOW settings
My specs: i5 10600K, 32 RAM, RTX 3070

Hi @dariuszm76 ,
Thank you for this report. We’ve moved your topic into the User Support Hub.
The Bug Reporting Hub is for posting suspected or confirmed bugs that other users are able to reproduce without duplicating an existing bug report. Using the template or providing all the relevant information about your bug and sim setup is required in order to provide valuable information, feedback, and replication steps to our test team.
If you are not sure if your issue is a bug or need further input from the community, please use the User Support Hub category. If the community can replicate your issue, first search the Bug category to see if there’s an existing topic. If it already exists, contribute to that report. Duplicate bug reports will be closed.
If you believe it is a new report and no duplicate exists, then create a new bug topic using the provided topic template.
All issues caused by or involving third-party addons/mods should be reported to the third-party developer. Assure that no addons/mods are used when reporting issues in Bug Reports.
Same here! It’s atrocious 
I can only use FS2020 for hub-to-hub trips in airliners such as the Fenix.

I have the same problem with a 3080, doesnt seem to matter if I change presets. FPS increase when going all the way to low is barely anything.
This happens to me sometimes. I don’t look at framerate but during flight I always have very smooth and fluid motion. Yesterday during a landing at a small airport in a career mission my framerates dropped to near zero as I touched down causing me to run off the runway into a tree.
This is suspected bug, becuase it only happens in Asobo airports. 3rd party airports in community folder don’t make such a huge fps drop, even very complex 3rd party airports with hundreds additional objects. And simple few bricks of default airport is making the game unplayable
I understand. Some recommendations when reporting bugs:
- prior to open it, search for any existing report. If one exists, participate there to avoid duplicates
- only 1 issue per report
- don´t delete the template. It contains key fields for the devs to reproduce and log it into their system. It also contains an embedded form that other users can use to contribute to your topic and help for clarity.
Thank you !
Low settings on my system, I get 3.2 at JFK. Its locked, solid as a rock, smooth as silk at 30fps anywhere but there, and similar airports.
I have yet to add any of my 3rd party stuff yet, so I cant comment on how it compares.
Same story here, with an RTX3080, just upgraded my CPU to a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and keeps the same. Much much better performance overall but in EDDF the drops are absolutly demential… Those airports look quite rushed, without any concerns about performance at all… So sad to see.
I’ve had this happen at JFK regardless of the aircraft I fly. System is a 5800x3d, 7800xt, and 32 GB 3600 memory.
I have had limited time to mess with this, but my limited testing is hinting at it being related to online traffic, possibly the AI traffic (though may be multiplayer aircraft part of it too). Turning down graphic and LOS settings didn’t seem to help any. Turning traffic settings down didn’t seem to help much, but turning it off did the one time I tried to troubleshoot.

In my end I have all sorts of traffic turned off so, It is not the actual issue.
I think streaming is the issue and I have 250 Mb/s by cable - either you need a lot faster connection now or the streaming service is very often not capable to stream detailed 3D objects, just surface textures.
Because I have no issues with 3rd party airports stored on my SSD and I experienced the same problem at the MSFS24 event when they showcased the game on powerfull computers, just for a bunch of media. 737 parked at LAX and it was like 10-12 fps top
If that’s the case, Asobo just killed Marketplace for PC users. It will become mandatory to buy from 3rd parties and download stuff on your drive.
I hope they will let us doownload from Marketplace as it’s used to be…
Another proof, this creator also noticed that even on very high-end PC and just with a runway ahead, FPS drop to the bottom at the airport and recover to normal just after you leave the airport area
In 2020 it was common to stutter at or near major airports.
Mostly due to CPU strain.
Nothing more taxing in sim than being at a major airport in a big city.
I didn’t have any problems even with 20 airliners from FSLT around on major airports in 2020, maybe some 5-10 drops occasionly, but not 40-50 fps drops when you are alone (I turned off all traffic)… And it’s fine in 2024 when you have airport on SSD.
I also noticed twice huge drops during weekly challanges, and once on LAX the fps was perfect - that’s why I suppose it’s a streaming issue
Are you seeing rhythmic stutters or intermittent stutters?
Airports can and will slow you down, but I agree, right now 2024 seems to be a bit extreme for some users.
I’ve noticed this on tiny, regional airports as well, with default aircraft. I’ve tried turning traffic off, DLSS on and off, settings high or low, doesn’t seem to matter. The FPS monitor is showing dropped frames every few seconds. Mainthread limited of course (as is everywhere), but GPU and CPU ram are not maxed out. Good FPS, just drops frames every few seconds. If I get a mile from the airport everything is great. Even flying around heavily populated areas, like tokyo or NYC, no dropped frames. But some airports (KBVS is what I noticed) keep causing dropped frames.
I have to wonder if there is some airport asset that is causing this.
The rhythmic airport stutters are a known bug, and the bug has been logged, so it should be fixed in a future update.
I am trying to see if the person I asked is experiencing that stutter, or a different kind of stutter.
Happens to me too at any of the Asobo “custom” airports. I have a 7800X3d and 4080. When the camera is stationary I’m getting 80+ FPS but anytime I move the camera it drops to 5-10FPS and is a literal slideshow
