This a 2024 BUG, similar to 2020 bug report. DLSS 4.5 Preset M, L both start off butter smooth but after 20 or 30 seconds it becomes stutter. TenPatrol Gave me this explanation. Credit to him. (link to this post is found below in TenPatrol Response.) “Smooth at first because textures are cached …

Definitely not a solution for me. After texture cache timeout reached (20s for SU4 and 60s for SU5), whole stutters are on the place. Trying to rotate camera with keyboard arrow keys, it’s almost impossible in busy airports.

Unfortunately, it is in general not a solution to the problem of “FPS drop when panning camera views in MSFS 2024” as far as the issue of the VRAM purging is concerned, and that many people replying to this thread, me included, assumed that this bug report was about.

I have edited my comments and removed my solution status. Obviously folks are having issues panning. Cheers PACO572

What did you tested in these videos? You didn’t wait 20 seconds (in SU4, or 60 in SU5) steady before panning camera, so VRAM texture unload wasn’t triggered. [image] Paco572: Preset M, L both start off butter smooth but after 20 or 30 seconds it becomes stutter. [2026 02 26 01 19 51…

I have one tip that is almost the most basic one in the book, but that might have significant effect. By the videos it looks like your sims are running unlimited FPS or a lock that is too high and therefore doesn’t really do much and your hardware doesn’t have any form of headroom since I would assu…
