I’ve experienced some stuttering before, but not like this. Seems the sim actively pauses now during flight to load in whatever it needs to before resuming. It’s the worst I’ve seen since the sim released. Hopefully a solution can be found.

If you can access your BIOS, try to look for Hardware Virtualization Technology and VT-d, or something similar along those lines. When you found it, disable them. I disabled mine, and my stutters disappears, and my FPS stabilises.
Turning on Rolling Cache helps too, I set mine to 64 GB.
Perhaps this won’t help but I’ll mention it… yesterday, while playing with different settings, I found that running in full screen mode boosted my FPS another 5 to 7 frames and stutters (usually only over large airports) were gone. Textures in full screen are not as sharp as windowed mode so I’ll have to pick my poison.
I’ve used full screen before but did not notice that much of a difference. Of course, this could have been a result of the new nVidia driver I downloaded yesterday.
I’ve always used full screen. 
I notice the loading stutters too. The loading symbol appears at the bottom right and the sim stutters. It happens a lot in VR but didn‘t at all last night in 2D for some reason.
I will try the BIOS recommendation.
My FPS went from smooth 25+/30 to 20-, and 10- when taxiing after landing.
Puke.

MSFS doesn’t have real full screen, it’s just windowed without borders.
You can check this by opening the start menu with the windows key. If you open the start menu and you still see the game running behind it it’s not real full screen. A real full screen program will become minimized when you alt-tab out of it.

Stutters are there since SU3 and never disappeared. Freezing has been somewhat fixed with WU4 hotfix, but now after SU4 it’s back and indeed it’s worse than before. Some people have them some not. I do have them although I’m running the sim on a 4000$ PC. I’ve lost my hope tbh, I really doubt this sim will ever be able to run smooth for everyone. Since it’s basically FSX engine on steroids, don’t have high expectations.
Have you tried disabling the Hardware Virtualization Technology and VT-d / AMD-V from the BIOS?

Mine was never enabled.
Well, considering that they’re usually enabled by default… especially on top tier hardware like ours. It’s usually good to double and triple check if it is indeed the case.
