Hi all, First I just want to congratulate the team on the release of the sim. I completed the installation earlier and it seemed to install without any issues at all. I got into the sim and went to my local airport and the performance is terrible, panning around is jumpy and stutters, nothing appe…

using the settings I had during the alpha makes it unplayable. I have massive framedrops. Just at the first training mission the framerate is between 44 - 8 fps, some seconds frozen. The dataconsumption is only about 1-1.5 Mbit/s and I habe a 100 Mbit/s connection, so it can‘t be because my Intern…

i see everyone with i7’s having the problem?

Invested in a new machine for this simulator, and unfortunately, I’m just not able to achieve higher than 30 FPS. I get around 12 FPS at KORD with the 78X Specc: Ryzen 2950X RTX 2080 Ti 32gb DDR4 Sim on 1TB NVMe

Having the same issue here with an i5 8600k @ 4.5ghz. Updated drivers, graphics settings don’t make a difference. GPU@~10%. CPU@80%. Straight up slide show.

Same here. During the alpha/beta, my rig ran the sim fabulously at 4K. Now, the sim is unusable, a real slide show. Something, somewhere, changed in a dramatic way. And I too am using identical settings and identical hardware as before, when everything worked beautifully. What happened???

Starting to think its an issue with server load. Maybe the poor fps is due to scenery struggling to load? Just a thought

Also having major issues, i5 7500, around 60% CPU usage on Welcome Menu which seems very high

Not just i7 cpus, its 7th generation cpus. i3 7300, i5 7600, & i7 7700 are all 7th gen Kaby Lake chips.
