Massive FPS drop because of SU9

It’s been more than month since I have created this topic. Nothing has been fixed since then and it does not seems it will be fixed any time soon.
So just to sum up, there are a lot of single issues with performance currently present in MSFS:


#1 Performance Degradation over Time. Detailed description is in the topic: After playing a few hours, FPS drops from 40 to 5FPS

  • issue is present for most users since SU V
  • more detailed FPS meter (to recognize cause of issue) was promised by Asobo more than 2 months ago, still not implemented
  • makes any longer flight unplayable

#2 Massive stutters when panning camera and moving plane

  • already highly described in this Topic
  • present since SU IX
  • NOT ONLY present when panning camera, but also when flying, especially low
  • makes terrible stutters during approach
  • makes terrible stutters when looking around
  • also present whent off-screen terrain pre-caching is on ULTRA

#3 Terrible FPS near ground, especially near cities with Photogrammetry. Detailed description is in this topic: Poor performance on the ground

  • present since September 2021, still not fixed
  • has something to do with Photogrammetry
  • deleting Photogrammetry cities will reduce issue (which is not FIX)

#4 Overall performance drops with every Sim Update

  • biggest drop came with SU IX
  • highly described in this topic

Asobo, please, FIX these issues as soon as possible. Currently, there is very low or even no effort for fixing these issue from Your side. Judging by number of votes, activity on all social networks (including this forum) these are the biggest issues community is currently facing, so fixing them should be your priority #1.
We need no World Updates, new features, new planes from you at this time - we need working Sim.

With current situation in Sim (bunch of study-level planes were added), community now needs working Sim without issues as it has never needed in past. Now it should be time for spending money on Marketplace on sceneries, planes,… but it has no sense with current state of Sim. So please, fix the Sim so we can spend money to enjoy new content.

Community, please, do not give up. Share your experiences, documentations, descriptions on these issues so Asobo will have all info they need. I know these things should do paid testers, but now it’s time for Community to supply them. Also we need to talk about this issues on all social networks, all Q&A to confirm high importance of them.
