MSFS2024 was working swimmingly with my rig: Windows 11 Pro (24H2), Intel i9-14900KF (3.20 GHz) processor, RTX 3060 12 GB, and a good Samsung M.2 GEN5 SSD dedicated exclusively to the simulators and fibre optic internet, 100 Gbit steady.

I have finally found the culprit… and the solution. I hope this might help others. As you may have read in a previous post, it seemed as though the all aircraft were rocketing off the runway, albeit as a slideshow.

Sorry to hear that! I’ll keep researching and see if there’s anything else that comes up that might address the issue. Regards

There’s a hot fix Nvidea driver out that helps fix a slowdown caused by a windows update file. I thought it was aimed at win 11/25h2, but you might give it a try and see if it helps.
There’s a thread discussing it and a link to download it.
