Loss of frames and simulator just shutting down

First off I’ve waited all this time to go ahead and buy Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. I finally get it up and running and seemed to be doing OK then about a week later I suddenly start having all kinds of choppy issues with the scenery also with my track IR and I can’t figure out what it is. I watched the frames and realize that every about every 8 seconds the frames go from locked at 65 down to 50 to 40 and it just keeps cycling like that and it causes me all kinds of problems. I turned off as much as I could actually completely cleaned out the community folder and it was still there. I finally realized that if I completely turned off all of the DLSS stuff and changed to TAA the problem went away and I was able to turn everything back to ultra settings and it seemed to run fine. So has anyone else had issues like that, is that something I’m going to have to watch for all the time I’m using the SIM? It seems like I spend more time testing and adjusting than flying I thought this thing was completely fixed. I guess I’m telling you all this simply because I guarantee you somebody else’s had the similar issue and never could figure out what was going on with it so I hope this helps somebody.

The other issued is when setting up a flight when I’m at the earth picture and I go ahead and select the location and then zoom in so that I can pick a location I want to start at with the engines off and then or when I select fly the system just goes away I have to start it all over again and sometimes it happens multiple times. Any fixes for that?

Could you define what you mean by “system just goes away”?

It just goes back to Desktop. MSFS just goes away.

Does the restart give you the option to start in Safe Mode, if so does it load correctly in Safe Mode?

I have found some settings that seem to work and so far I’ve remained stable. Went to Nvida DSLL super resolution, changed to DLAA with Frame Generation at Nvidia DLSS. I capped my frames at 100 and set quality to ULTRA and it is working. I just hope it stays that way. I did retry other DLSS settings, but I got the 8 second issue again so I’m staying at DLAA.

Glad it’s working. I can switch between TAA, as well as all the different DLSS levels (DLAA, Quality, Balanced, Auto, Perfromance, Ultra-Performance) without any issue.

I wonder why you are having issues with that? I don’t know enough about DLSS to answer that, but I might suspect a corrupt .DLL file somewhere.

Looks like a good strong system you have. :ok_hand:

Yes I have no idea why it’s doing that either. I just hope the DLAA keeps workiing. Maybe some really smart person in development of this thing may have an idea. Thanks for responding to this post.

Well it isn’t fixed. It’s doing it again every 8 second frames drop from 65 which I now have it capped to down to 44 frames. What’s also weird is I have two screens and the secondary screen doesn’t do it, however, it normally drops 15 frames when I switch from one to the other. I tried switching back to TAA and have the same problem. MSFS 2020 works great without issues???

I’m at a loss for what to do next. Maybe I’lll stay on 2020? Anyone heard of anything like this?
