I am having the same issues with low FPS now after the update. I have not changed anything. Very discouraging.

I agree on the frame loss on the ground. Our systems are very similar. Also having very low frame rates on short finals to airports.

I resolved my issue by turning off the Photogrammetry, exiting the sim and restarting again and then turning the Photogrammetry back on. That fixed it for me. Others may want to try the same thing.

Update: Did NOT fix. The problem has returned. Turning the Photogrammetry off and then back on temporarily restores my FPS however after a while it goes back down again.

Similar Problem here. Gets worse the longer you fly as well. Completely unable to fly manually or land after about 3 hours of flight. I did try the above suggestion in an attempt to resolve but did not help. Was getting great Frame Rates before this patch. (50-70) now by end of flight somewhere in the 5fps-25 range with major freezing/studdering.

Same here, on longer flights FPS drops to 5-10 FPS.
Before it was like 60-70 FPS

Are any folks who are reporting low FPS (or stuttering) using an 7,200RPM HDD or an SSD for their Windows pagefile?

I just changed mine from the HDD to the system’s SSD and things got a lot better.

Hi,
I cannot understand what problems you all have. My fps are great :joy::

But what about your hard drives? ie. What utilization percentages are you seeing on those?
It could be that your Windows pagefile access / virtual memory is the bottleneck (as it was in my case).

Hi guys same here I used to hit between 30 and 40fps at JFK now it went below 30fps with lows of 21/23fps. In other places on average, I used to hit 50/60fps now I barely maintain 30fps.

FPS on ground has always been a struggle. With SU9, it feels either the same or slightly worse.

Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

Upon starting my sim I have more or less acceptable 37FPS at my departure airport on the ground. (I had around 45 before SU9) However when I approach my destination the FPS gets worse the closer I get to the airport. In the end I am at roughly 20FPS.

To be honest, I am very dissapointed how the sim performs at this stage, particularly with complex aircraft such as the PMDG 737 or Fenix A320 released recently. My FPS are inconsistent (meaning the same location with the same setting behaves in different ways depending on if I start or end the flight there), stutters occur regularly and especially the performance on the ground is a real mess. I am running an i7-10700K and an RTX 3060 and I am not able to achieve satisfying performance, particularly with airliners. I am always main thread limited.
Maybe Sim Update 27 in a couple of years improves that, but until that I am more and more convinced that returning to P3D is the better option.
