I loaded up an airport outside of any airspace and my FPS and stuttering problems were history while flying that area (very beautiful, by the way) with ultra graphics settings on everything. I need to test this out by transitioning from that place (79VG) into a nearby class B airspace.
Most of you have fared better than me. It took from August until a couple of weeks before the latest upgrades to get a working version of MSFS. I did a couple of flights with the A320 and all seemed well. Since the upgrades (MSFS and WIndows), I get as far as ‘Fly Now’ and then consistent CTDs. No flying of any sort possible.
The sim is unusable as far as I am concerned and I have moved to XP whilst waiting for MSFS to be fixed. Not happy!
