In beta, I loaded in the sim and immediately had nice smooth experience. With nice FPS
Now?
I load in, 1-2 min 6 FPS. Then it gets better, but still far below what I had in beta. Every flights usually starts at some point suddenly going from 40 FPS to 20 or 15 or stuttering so strong it become slideshow. Not above city, but above a desert somewhere.
Something is not right.
And I tried to ridiculously lower the graphic settings to a super low values…no change at all
What Res are you guys running, I have same specs but 3800x and 3800mhz ddr4, running at 5120x1440 and with everything maxed out get 25-30 over London (ORBX add on), and away from cities 35-55fps?
Hi,
I have the same CPU , RTX 2080 8GB, 2TB Samsung 970 Evo SSD, 64GB RAM, my settings are most on HIGH only. I expected to be playing on Ultra with this configuration. I still have nice graphics and good FPS. I have set my FPS locked at max 75 for the moment. Playing ar 4K resolution.
One thing I noticed last night was if I disabled all other players it was a lot smoother for some reason. I wonder if there is an issue with retrieving data from servers? It’s data heavy: users, weather, atc, and scenery are all processed by azure and ms servers. Perhaps the bottleneck is there and that’s what is causing the slow downs…
Yeah, Im getting 15 FPS with RTX 2080Ti also at any resolution including 720p, tried everything. Asobo/Microsoft need to atleast acknowledge the issue sooner rather than later.
I usually get 40fps in non urban areas and I have the same specs as you. Almost identical. I have to say as well though, that when fsx came out, you needed a mega super computer to make it run with an acceptable frame rate. Whilst it’s frustrating now, as it was when fsx came out, this sim is designed to be the go to for another 10+ years and therefore user experience in terms of performance will generally improve due to hardware evolution and optimization. But I know that doesn’t help now.
I wasn’t involved in any pre-release testing, and my understanding is that those who have are still under NDA.
But let’s assume for now that what’s leaked out here and there is true and that frame rate is, for some people, lower in the release version. And also that changing graphics settings has no discernible effect.
The biggest difference with release may just be that there are thousands if not tens of thousands more people using the service. Perhaps the data streaming and delivery is a bottleneck. Might be interesting to turn some of that off and see what effect it has.
