I have been monitoring this thread for my performance issues post SU12 and i found a “solution” to my issue. So what was my issue?
- Panning heavy stutter on ground at some airports with any plane (e.g LFMN, CYVR with the issue).
- As soon as i takeoff, stutters would disappear (still inflight not as smooth as before SU12 but pretty smooth).
- The stutters would only start again inside the airport’s perimeter when flying close to the ground.
- No fps issue (i don’t count them anymore i have plenty enough) but really bad stutter that seems to happen at the same spots while panning.
- The only thing i tried that eliminated the stutters was to set LOD to the lowest (10 i think? but who flies with that? i normally have it between 100 - 130 although my hardware is capable for more)
It was the first time i had such major stutters in msfs since release, and spent days troubleshooting. I changed msfs settings, updated bios, chipset and other HW drivers, cleared cashes. None of these fixed the stutter on ground issue.
I was about to give up and try to reinstall everything until it came to my mind to give DX12 a chance (it’s the only msfs setting i never touched, it always remained on DX11 since it always performed well and never felt even testing DX12). Well i set to DX12, restart the sim and just like magic the issue disappeared…butter smooth panning like i always had. I didn’t perform a full flight yet but it’s promising. I still don’t think this is normal in regard to DX11 especially since DX12 is still beta…But it could as well be nvidia driver issue (i downloaded the latest).
My HW: i7 12700K, RTX 3080, 32Gb Ram
