I suppose I would start by disabling everything in the Community folder and set your simulator graphics options to default and try to triage the situation from there. Make gradual changes to your set-up and see if you can identify one thing as causing the problem. Why not try the hot-fix driver 466.55, although I suspect the driver alone is not responsible for your âFSâ woes. Perhaps look at your game controller hardware drivers and set-up too, (how are you steering on the ground?).
Have you changed any global textures related the ground, runway, taxi or trees?
There was once a utility that you could run that would log which .bgl files and texture files were being loaded into earlier MS flight simulators. Sometimes it was possible to identify a missing texture and .bgl files. This was sometime ago and I cantâ remember how it was done. I wonder if there is a utility or way to view a log file for MSFS 2020 that, (just like X-Plane) that would give you an insight as to what is going on behind the scenes, 'so-to-speak â in the new simulator? I guess there is, I have just never had to use it.

Eklester, I am sorry you have not been able to resolve your poor performance when taxiing. Re-installing the simulator sounds like a real pain. The only thing I can suggest is to post in the Avsim forum as well as this one to see if any other people are having the same experience as you. I guess you may have to contact the help desk for MSFS 2020 if not already done so. I assume you have your Win 10 system graphics configured with HAGS off etc/ Nvidia CTL Panel settings set to default or recommended settings. I have done a quick search of the internet for a solution for you, I could not find anything that matches your symptoms during the short time I looked on-line. I think itâs unlikely to be display driver related. It would also be interesting to hear if you get these symptoms at a lower display setting like 1080P? I understand this is a global problem within the simulator and not a favourite airport. Take care, BRGDS. Charles
Yepp. Tried to go lower. In 1440p I get then 56 fps on ground with most things ultraâŠ
But still the same issue with the stutter when moving the view point (basically in the cockpit, in the outside view I can move like crazy and all is smooth).
What I really donât understand: In the CRJ I donât have such problems on ground (with the same scenery), but in other planes I do.
I would get this issue out into the main forum, you might be limiting potential replies with help because this is a GPU driver thread. Do you have any other third-party AC that you can try? It sounds like this issue may be associated with your default AC only? Something to do with Virtual Cockpit mode and perhaps refresh rates in VC mode perhaps? The fact that you have a new fresh install might make it easier to diagnose. Your not using VR are you?
Have you tried reducing your instrument update-rate and then taxiing? Try changing the setting for the VC refresh rate instruments in the options and save the settings. Perhaps re-start the simulator and change the setting back to where it was when you had the problem and see if anything has changed for the better.
I am not convinced that a re-install has cleared out/removed and updated all the MSFS 2020 directories on your computer. You may still have some older .cfg files that are are being used now that were left over from the previous install! If I had to uninstall MSFS 2020, I would probably manually check the PC for left overs, (files and folders) back them up and delete the left over originals. If you did not have to re-register the new installation again, then there had to be something left over.
Well done Aerosoft! I think the issue Eklester is having goes a little deeper than this because I am using an old PC system and have not noticed such a marked degradation in performance as Eklester is having when taxiing in VC mode. The coding used may be exacerbating another problem which might have itâs roots in a .cfg file. That is my thinking/guess. Charles.
To me, itâs all about risk management and performance.
I use VR much of the time. I and many others have reported that with 457.30 you get substantially better performance in VR in MSFS 2020 than with any of the newer nVidia drivers (although I havenât tried the very latest driver yet.) Going to try that later today and will report back if anything changes.
So far, I have been willing to take the risk of the older driver because I manage the malware risk overall by running a combination of both a blacklist and a whitelist model of malware protection. [Windows Defender (blacklist model) and PCMatic (whitelist model)]. Between the two of them, I feel that I have reduced the risk of infection by any malware which could exploit the older nVidia driver to well below my risk appetite threshold.
Any executable which Windows Defender misses but is not already whitelisted by PCMatic will be intercepted by PCMatic which gives me the option to either allow the executable to run once or allow it to run always. With program installers, for example, I choose run once because I have found that more than one program has used an installer called âsetup.exeâ and I donât want to allow a generic âsetup.exeâ to run always. On the other hand, once Iâve installed a program, I will choose âallow alwaysâ for the program executable.
