Since build 1.7.23.0 I’ve noticed a very noticeable dip in performance. I put together a small video so you can see. Anyone else experiencing this, please let me know.
I have this, I am getting stutters and hard freezers I have not had before.
There is also this annoying thing where inputs sometimes do not register, especially during takeoff and landing. I had a runway excursion because the brakes absolutely refused to apply, which actually resulted in a crash because there were trees there, and another one because the reverse thrust did not apply, but that luckily did not result in a crash.
I was also climbing with takeoff flaps on even though I am absolutely positive I pressed the flaps up button.
I am using HOTAS and foot pedals, but I never had any issues with them before SU5.
EDIT: Turns out the input issue was just some weird glitch that a PC restart fixed.
I now also have performance hit. When using fenix and PMDG I have astutter roughly every 10seconds, the whole sim freezes briefly for a second and then continues. Never had this with SU4. This was the exact reason why I left the Beta, but still clearly not addressed. I have a high end PC.
Same here, getting stutters on pretty much every plane despite all settings in-sim, in control panel and in bios being exactly as they were on SU4. It’s particularly happening in the air, especially the further through a flight I get and even at cruise alt. My SU4 experience, for the most part, was fairly stutter free (though not perfect), but getting the same regressions I’m seeing quite a few other people are getting. It’s mad because others are reporting they are getting improved perf which I just can’t wrap my head around. I’m on a 5090, 9950xd setup too with 96gb ram. Very frustrating.
One add-on that definitely causes problems in SU5 is Mamu Designs Powerlines. The add-on worked very well in SU4. But in SU5, I (and another user here on the forum) experienced severe freezes lasting several seconds as soon as we left the airport and were in the air. Once the add-on was disabled, the freezes disappeared.
I’ve also noticed that with the PMDG 777 and 737, I experience noticeable stutters every ten seconds, particularly when using the drone.
Same issue here.
They “learned from msfs 2020”. Yet here we are with the SAME ISSUES as 2020 around this same time period.
I completely removed my community folder and still had stutters. I also reinstalled and still had stutters that weren’t there before su5.
Hi everyone,
I am reaching out to report a severe performance regression that has made MSFS 2024 virtually unusable for me. Since the release of Sim Update 5 (SU5), I am experiencing frequent, constant interruptions and “pauses” during flight.
Prior to the April/May update, the simulator ran perfectly. Now, despite having a high-end system and making zero changes to my hardware or peripherals, the experience is ruined by these stutters. I have already tried all the standard troubleshooting steps (cleaning cache, resetting settings), but the issue is clearly tied to the SU5 update itself.
It is frustrating to see such a powerful rig struggle with basic flight stability due to software regressions.
My System Specs:
-
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090
-
RAM: 64 GB
-
CPU: Intel Core i9-10900K
I am looking for a definitive fix or a workaround that actually addresses the streaming/stuttering issues introduced with this latest build. Is anyone with similar specs seeing this “heartbeat” stuttering?
I also did this and still have the stutters. I’ve also just had a CTD after landing.
I also experience this on every flight with every aircraft. I have removed my community folder and the same issues present themselves. Never had this performance issue in SU4. I have an RTX 5090 and 9800X3D
Same hardware here. Had stutters in the SU5 beta, but performance is even worse now in the full SU5 update.
I have the same issue as well. I have a 9850X3D and 5090 with 64GB ram and am noticing poorer performance than SU4. I am noticing stutters and just general all round not smoothness. I am on latest Nivida driver but something is not right somewhere.
Your graphic settings are too high. I was always getting stutters when starting any of the challenges until I turned down the Nvidia graphics settings by one notch, no problems since then.
My graphics card is now not maxed out.
Same here, poor performance, even worse than SU4 RTX 5070 TI + AMD Ryzen 9850X3D.
I don’t understand. I have 9800X3D, rtx5090 64Gb ddr5 and any problems with su5. I fly only vr with pimax super oled. Cache disabled in settings.
I’m also getting stutters and couple of seconds pauses when flying a helicopter low level really stuttery never had this with SU4 and my pc is up to date especially nvidia drivers etc
Running it on i9 13900k 64gb ram and Rtx4080 
also I’ve tried running vanilla state with no addons and its still the same
I did the same. I have the same problem. Did not happened with su4. Ryzen 9900x 64 ram 7900 xtx, with frame cap -gpu not even maxed out- no way hardware related
at klax, for example, sutters at back on the landing phase -most notably- some nm before runway, mainthread starts to stutter and turns red for miliseconds…gpu fine…. a few feet above runway mainthread red in miliseconds and this time gpu aswell, at the same time, as the mainthread, turns red for a milisecond….. stutters…. incredible…. as it was before su4 ……

i also have more stutters at the ground, when taxing to the gate. way worse since SU5. with SU4 i haven’t got these. (for example at EDDS) no GSX, only PMDG737.
