Nasty FPS drop and lagging on take-off and landing

This was the fix I tried at the suggestion of Captain Sasso.

  1. Before launching the sim, navigate to Users>YourUserName>AppData>Local>FlightSimulator.
  2. There you should find a folder called “mapscache” and a file called “overrides.json”.
  3. Make a backup copy of these files, just in case.
  4. Delete these files.
  5. Launch the sim.
  6. I checked and found the sim had re-created new versions of the deleted files
  7. Check that Photogrammetry is switched ON.
  8. Choose your favourite plane and your favourite airport.
  9. Take off.
    If you’re lucky, like me, you’ll find that all the huge fps drops when taxiing, taking off and landing have disappeared.
    Needless to say, you do all this at your own risk. No guarantees from me. I just followed Captain Sasso’s suggestion and it worked on my system.
    PLEASE let me know via this thread if it works for you!
    To be clear: this apparent fix is completely UNCONNECTED with today’s SU8 update.
