Has anyone else seen this issue ?
I will post a link to my Youtube live stream from yesterday. Please check the issue at the 1 hour 15 minutes mark.
Basically, the sim starts freezing a LOT ! and does that every few seconds. This is entirely unplayable. From there I went into the menu, changed from West Europe to South-East Asia, and the sim was butter smooth again.
We had this several times during the Group Flight. Not only me, but everyone on the Group Flight had this same issue pretty much at the same time. You can also hear this in the video when we are talking about it.
Here is the link:

The settings are Live Traffic ON, and All_Players .
This morning I tried it again at LFMN with the West Europe server. All those freezes are back. There was a lot of traffic around however.
Then I switched to South-East Asia where there are less players, and all was good again. I got around 40 FPS with the FBW Experimental.
Then I switched from All-Players to Group ONLY, and even on West Europe, all is good now. So it seems that too much traffic causes those terrible freezes.
Again, check at the 1 hour 15 minutes mark and you’ll see what I mean.
But when this happens, even in the menu you cannot simply switch servers. i have to click several times to get the drop down to switch servers. It’s like the UI is freezing as well. Once I switch servers, the UI is smooth again.
I will certainly send a Zendesk ticket. But maybe someone else has encountered this as well. I didn’t see these issues before the update. Even with a lot of traffic.
EDIT: Just submitted to Zendesk as well
