I am unaffected by the problem. My specs:
EVGA RTX 2070 Super XC Gaming, overclocked
Intel i5-10600K, overclocked
64GB 3200MHz DDR4
For you @anon5812396, I would strongly recommend an upgrade to at least 32GB of RAM. MSFS seems to like RAM, and that seems to be the sweet spot for it. (I went with 64GB simply for the convenience of not having to add stuff down the road when I need it, making sure I have the same brand with the same timings, and because it was so cheap. If I upgrade to DDR5 before the day comes that 64GB is necessary, which I doubt, oh well. I blew $149 for no reason.)
Hi Seth
Thanks for your constructive reply
Just a question are the stutters happening while panning in the cockpit or changing screens and do you run an increased virtual pagefile, or you do you let windows determine it ?
Cheers
Hello Legendsy. Here’s our Specs. Regards from Thom.
Intel Core i9 9900K 8 Core Socket 1151 (3.6GHz, 12MB Cache, Overclockable)
Noctua NH-D15 Dual Tower CPU Cooler
nVidia GeForce RTX 2080 ti Founders Edition.
32GB Corsair DDR4 3000MHz C15 Dual Channel Memory Kit (2 x 16GB)
Asus ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming Motherboard
Samsung 1TB 970 Pro PCI-E 3.0 X4 NVMe Solid-State Drive (2)
Kolink Enclave 700 Watt Modular Gold Rated Power Supply
Alienware AW3420DW Monitor.
Overclocking:
Wired2Fire Overclocking (Upgrade cooler for best results)
Tuning and Optimisation :
Wired2Fire Tuning (BIOS, Driver and OS Tweaks)
ps. Runs Smooth thanks to G SYNC .
there is something that holding GPU back, from 90% goes to 5% so the sim obviously start to stutter.
For sure there is a new bug which appeared after the UK update. Asobo fixed v-sync/g-sync settings on full exclusive mode so possibly has to do with that + with online mesh/photogrammetry/servers etc or even a memory leak
Regarding virtual memory: to be honest i strongly believe this is a Placebo effect solution. I have 32g ram and MSFS even on high-demanding populated areas in ultra settings ( london for example) is reaching maximum 60% while my v-ram is 14g ( there 3090 rtx makes the difference).

Hi
Thanks for reply
Yes have to agree I think it’s a photogrammetry server issue delivering or in fact not delivering quickly enough
Anyhow i’m Sure a fix will follow

for sure they will, i trust 100% Asobo-s

Photogrammetry on. Live Real World traffic only.
No rolling cache. No manual cache.
Most settings on Ultra or High. LOD 200. Scaling 100.
I generally fly the Baron in western Canada and Alaska when it’s daylight here or bushwhack my way around Papua New Guinea after dark. I prefer to use Live Weather so that gives me daylight flying without having to muck with anything.
I am seeing 30ish with some minor stuttering in turns around CYVR and down around Seattle/Tacoma area. Once away from the photogrammetry and handcrafted airports, things smooth out nicely and frame rates sit happily around 40ish. After some tweaking I managed to get my CPU clicking around 65%-75% and GPU sits pretty solid around 90%.
I did try the 76T challenge and was ■■■■ near a static photo. I was counting seconds per frame. Won’t go there again.
After a lifetime of tweaking FS titles, this one is no different. One small change can tank performance or give you ideal graphics. Takes time and a methodical approach. Biggest improvement was actually cleaning all the garbage out of my device manager. Shadow Drives and duplicate enumerators, unused audio audio and chipset drivers as well as every USB device you have ever plugged into your system are all hiding in there eating resources. Clearing that ■■■■ out was like a new finish on a hardware floor.
Take your time. One little change and test, document and repeat. Sometimes it is two settings that don’t play well together that suddenly makes your CPU ornery.
Those not having fps dropping are you doing long flights as I have found I will have really good fps and performance but when you go a certain distance the stutter and huge fps drops seem to happen.
The other day I was flying got a certain distance and it would drop fps and stutter then go smooth again but then eventually it would just constantly stutter and drop fps so I ended up quitting out. I mean it was going from 46 fps to 18 the area i was flying was less dense than where I came from.
Never had any performance issue’s since release until the latest update. I literally not gonna fly until this is fixed as isn’t enjoyable at all, once the fps starts randomly dropping for no reason.
My specs:
I9-9900k rtx 2070 64gb ram, nvme ssd drive.
Hi
I’m managing to fly 3 to 4hrs uninterrupted
That is GA
Mind you I’m flying low and slow so I suppose there’s more graphics being pushed outside the window than with electronics inside the cockpit of a tube liner.
I have found MSFS doesn’t like you flying a 2nd flight straight after another flight irrespective of how short it was .
So I restart MSFS between flights

Exactly this. its unpredictable, acts randomly. Sometimes makes CPU overstressed with high-temp while GPU is sleeping on 5% usage…
Some users mentioned that fix:
Go in developer mode/Options/Terrain and deselect "Draw On Terrain
which obviously shows ( maybe) a bug hiding on Terrain/mesh

I recently did the “saddle sore” challenge. (I think that was the name) 8 hours, hand flying the Baron in economy cruise, VFR from CYDQ to PANC. Beautiful flight. Arrived in Anchorage at sunset. That was a bonus. Flight was very smooth and stable, sim wise. The mountains between Fairbanks and Anchorage were not smooth or stable. 5 point harness and a sippy cup for your coffee recommended if it’s windy. Usually is.
Just wondered if you encountered any Icing?
And your thoughts on its implementation, and wether it needs tweaking
Interesting. I have heard this. Weatherwise it seems to really hit a lot of users. I have not encountered an issue with that though. I have often left FS on in the background for days. Takes for ever to boot up with my old 7200rpm HD. I have done dozens of flights. Some really short. Half hour doing a couple circuits, all the way to a flight from Darwin to Vancouver in the 747. Just lucky I guess.
It was happening to me until a few days ago. Then I was able to do back-to-back flights for a while without a CTD.
Too many responses. Can’t see any patterns.
Maybe you should have asked:
Tell me 6 things only:
CPU
CPU Speed
Memory type
Memory speed
GPU
Graphics Render Scaling
No verbage, just facts of specs.

At the moment I’m flying 1 hour hops in the TBM with performance mod and WT G3000
I’ve flown EGGD to EGLL a lot as I’m practicing and perfecting IFR and have just subscribed to Navigraoh (wow what a total game changer btw?! Can’t believe I didn’t subscribe sooner!) so using the route as a benchmark if you like.
The rest of the time I’m flying for the visuals around the Bahamas, Florida keys and I’ll try Miami area every with photogrammetry now and again. I give it a try when I’m feeling patient enough to deal with some glitches.
I use @TonyTazer1504’s Quest 2 VR settings which are by far the best I’ve found.
But… I have turned photogrammetry off at the moment to just smooth things out. I really decided today that the novelty has worn off and the smoother flights are more important to me than photogrammetry. Sure enough, I can now land at EGLL and it’s much smoother (though I’m sure not perfect).
I’ll turn it back on again down the line when things improve (in the Q&A they spoke about a future script used for importing PG data into the game which will improve the performance, so hopefully that lands in the summer)
I think there are too many patterns for us to be able to see on this forum tbh… IMHO there are umpteen different performance related issues that asobo are in the process of ironing out over the coming months and people will gradually see their issues resolved, I hope
I just think there’s too many variables, and one persons “major stuttering” is another persons “FPS drop” is another persons “glitchy world map location” is another persons “my hardware can’t handle those settings” etc etc.
Not trying to stop anyone looking of course! I’m still here reading the threads, but I’m just focusing on not getting hung up on it for my own sanity.
I hope it all improves soon.
