Have you tried disabling HPET?
Helped remove any stuttering for me.
Does anyone still remember back in the day when the various manufacturers like Compaq, North Gate, Everex, etc. used to claim ā100% IBM PC compatible, fully supports Microsoft Flight Simulatorā?
Reading through this thread makes me wonder if perhaps OEM and home systems builders might want to return to this standard. It appears to me that not all of todayās so-called high-end systems can safely make that old claim that they āfully support Microsoft Flight Simulatorā.
One often hears comments by avid gamers that they experience no similar issues with their other assumed to be heavy-weight games. But not the case with MSFS.
I think that MSFS has set another new benchmark that only a few of todayās PC configurations can fully/reliably meet. Many of us are still trying to catch up with those costly new hardware requirements. VR? I donāt even dare venture into that unknown.

SU10 is, unfortunately, very unstable for me on XSX. Almost every flight results in a CTD when iām taxiing to the gate. Doesnāt matter if itās a 45mins or a 6 hours flight, it doesnāt matter if I use stock Asobo planes or 3rd party ones. And it happens on stock airports, not just 3rd party ones which are a crime on Xbox as we all know. To me it looks like they sacrificed stability over performance, because performance is good. And they clearly havenāt figured out the memory issues on Xbox.
Note that these issues did not happened during any of the SU10 betas, so something must have been changed in the final release. All in all, Iām disappointed. I hope there will be a SU11 beta starting soon, with performance and stability logging build in for Xbox.
In the meantime, Iām starting saving extra for a game PC because I canāt take this much longer.

Iām hardly getting any CTDs. Was getting them occasionally prior to SU10 but now almost none.
I should mention that I launch the game after a cold boot and always quit fully out of the game.
I also shut down the console fully after my session and donāt put it in quick resume.
It might help to clear your rolling cache. The game is very, very stable and smooth on SX. Iām impressed. Itās definitely an isolated user issue cosā overall it runs very well. Only complaint here is photogammetry looking ugly or not loading properly in some places.
Isolated issue, you said?
For the record, I always reboot my XSX after every flight, and Iām running without rolling cache for ages.

Do I need to use rolling cache on a 50mbps fiber optic connection?
Will setting a ridiculous size like 100gb or something get rid of the ugly polygons and melted blobs on buildings and structures?
Rolling cache can be useful when you fly over the same areas a lot. Thatās my understanding, so yes maybe it helps in that regard.
I have to say that Iāve been extremely fortunate with this update - No CTDs except with Development or Experimental versions of planes, stock aircraft have been rock solid for me. Pics below are a dawn approach into PHNL. Core i9 10850K, RTX3080, 4K resolution, DLSS Quality and Ultra settings. Iām getting generally between 65-70 fps in flight, and on the ground in less dense/populated areasā¦ landing in PHNL Iām at about 50, which seems just fine for these settings.

Just re installed with all mods DX12 the 5hrs was worth the wait for this FPS lod 350 and almost everything on ultra 
Only thing different prior to last install was Iāve replaced Windows defender with Norton 360 for gamers, seems to use a lot less CPU apart from that nothing else had changed.

Just tried it. Disabled it in the device manager. Still stutters at the same places, Just under 1000ft and and a few more times under 500ft. Iāve been testing it doing short KONT-KLAX runway 25 approaches. But it does it at other airports as well. Thanks though.
Su10 works perfectly for me. Never had a ctd with any version of FS2020. My rig is fairly high (i9-11900kf rtx 3070 32 Gb ram 2TB ssd version 4? I think) , 600hrs flying and non longer than 8hrs. I hope Asobo realise the problems others are having.

the skyline has been around since Alpha and I think they will never be able to remove it.
I hope Iām wrong.
Can Asobo remove this line please

Mostly flying GA Piston Planes
No CTD, No Stuttering, 40ās for FPS with some dips in the mid 30ās
The experimental multi monitor has not worked well for me - too much of a hit on FPS - 15-18 FPS. Also, when I line up the window pillar of the JF Warrior, the wings look like they are angled to the front of the plane - that may be due to using a larger center monitor. Surround, even with the streach, looks better.
For my system and my use this has been a great update.

Unfortunately, As far as the status of fixing the horizon line, itās status in the latest list of lifetime bugs (29 September dev update) shows it as ānot plannedā. So certainly not going to be fixed anytime in the foreseeable future.

So far I have been happy with WU10. Though I do see DLSS giving me more FPS, TAA still hands down the better route for me running DX11. I hope they do improve on DLSS graphical glitches especially noticeable on the waters. TAA is sharp and clean looking for sure. I hope we see more improvements with D12. Please fix the HDR bug that causes the game to not load with it on automatically.

Very frustrating. Iāve been there.
Not sure if you did both the following steps for hpet
- Run command prompt as Administrator (or PowerShell as admin), type ābcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclockā without quotes > press enter.
- Next go to your device manager (right click on start button > device manager) > system devices > right click high precision event timer > disable driver).
!Reboot your pc! Test how the game runs.
Also helped alot when I disabled tpm, but if you were running smooth prior to the update, then these may do nothing for you.

Been a while since I have posted anything as all was going well. This latest update I have noticed an increase in CTDs and the load screens when you start up the game and have the blue progress bar at the bottom is all black. I believe that isnāt supposed to be like that but I could be wrong.
It probably means you donāt have that value set, so it canāt delete it.
To turn it on run:
bcdedit /set useplatformclock true
Then to disable it again run:
bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock
