Maybe something helpful for Asobo to find the possible cause - setting TLOD to “2000” (20.00 in UserCfg.opt and as such disabling the terrain LODs basically) will most likely reveal some issues with either VRAM or something else on ground level.


Doing such a “stress test” in my case causes visual artifacts, holes and some extreme VRAM situation exclusively on ground level.

The settings used and system information is found on this TLOD experiment thread:

Bonus: I recorded a short video showing such artifacts:

I did not do an extensive test but on a quick test I did not notice any change in FPS changing from default system’s audio to the device directly. Have you tried it?

Only a circuit with the Inibuilds A320 and it seemed fine, but the real test would be to fly a couple of hours and land somewhere that isn’t cached. I don’t have time to do that right now.

Don’t bother. I did just that. Repeated the flight EHAM to EDDP. Same thing. FPS drops to <5 fps as soon as I’m below 500 ft. When paused everything is fine

Talk about your feelings all you want, just don’t make baseless accusations, that’s all I was calling out. They absolutely want to fix it. If they haven’t fixed it yet, they haven’t figured out either what’s wrong or how. And then there’s it’s got to get slotted in in priority to all the other fixes they’re doing.

I agree this should have been fixed previously. However, this thread was started on April 20th. and has already received attention and been bug logged. My guess, and I am speculating, is Asobo has been aware of this bug and is already working on it.

I do not agree Asobo is not concerned about fixing this bug as well as other bugs they have on their plate. I frequent the developer’s forum frequently and while that’s aimed at third party developers they also work on sim bugs and they work their butts off.

If I recall correctly SU3 will be focused solely on bug fixes. And SU3 beta is coming soon.

I know this bug is logged, as the Devs have been able to recreate this issue, but here’s a video of an approach I just did into KAFW in a Longitude showing the constant stutters. On XBX, so can’t adjust settings and parameters like those of you on PC. I’m stuck with what I get, and this is what I’m currently getting on approach. Alliance airport in Fort Worth isn’t even one of the busier, more complex airports.

*By the way, noticed a new visual bug I hadn’t seen before, check out the top left of the screen. Course and CRS text is enlarged for some odd reason.

I got another video from this flight once I was on the ground, just need to find the thread about removing vehicles from active taxi ways :joy:

Well guys I’ve tried everything from:
Reinstalling NVIDIA graphics driver both current and previous versions… ( All clean driver installations )

Clearing NVIDIA driver cache
Clearing scenery index cache
Deleting Rolling Cache file
Tried different in-game graphics settings

*And to no avail - I still get the horrible stutters on landing (and this only happens about 20-10ft before touchdown)… *

Takeoff and taxi is great though. I’ll just wait for the next Beta update.

I have same experience yesterday. I hope it could be fixed soon… Asobo!!!

I don’t think it’s super new, maybe you’ve been lucky because I’ve had the extremely mini sized CRS HDG weirdly shaped top left virtual little map thing since SU2 beta started, and you have the super enlarged I don’t normally use the little map thingy so it’s not a big deal but it should be fixed as it’s still annoying once you notice it

Yeah, I almost never glance up there, it could’ve been goofy for a while and I never noticed it. But now that I have, it’s going to be catching my eye all of the time now ha.

Yeah been like it for me anyway since the SU2 beta, I never seen the enlarged version but I’ve always had the microscopic top left numbers and weirdly cropped compass. But yeah as you said I also hardly use it but once you notice it it’s very noticeable lol

Just landed into Asobo Tokyo Haneda (RJTT) in the A20N. Huge freeze as the gear touched down and lots of stutters and a few big freezes while rolling out and taxiing. Honestly thought it was going to CTD but it didn’t

Yeah sounds about right. Haneda seems to be the worst performing airport at the moment, closely followed by Heathrow.

Are people here using GSX? Does it make any difference if it gets disabled?

Yes I’m using it, and it feels that yes, it takes ressources… I did not desactivate it though… Curious to see if someone tried that.

I managed to limit the stutters by lowering texture resolution to medium, and loading cache yo “medium”. It feels better but not perfect with my 3070 ti in 1980*1080…

GSX has a setting to disable GSX after pushing back, it’ll then only reload after arrival. This solves any GSX related impact. I experience these stutters with and without GSX installed.
