I suggest you start comparing the same location as these two images clearly show something else.

My MSFS no longer shows me the option for screen resolution and does not allow me to switch between Full screen and Windowed modes either. And then there’s the issue with stutters and lags with absurd drops in FPS. Have tried everything, cleaned rolling cache, Nvidia cache, PC Restarts however there is resolution in sight.
SU5 is a major step back for PS5 users. I made an account on these forums just to make sure to leave this feedback. I’m on PS5 Pro with a wired connection and barely experienced any issues with SU4. Now, the game is constantly giving me the memory resources running low error and crashing way more often. I really hope the team releases a hotfix to make it more stable. On PS5 there are very real stability problems compared to before.
Additionally, every single skip to descent now gets me dinged for flaps overspeed. This was not the case with SU4. Supposedly this was fixed with the update, but it was actually broken.
Please release a hotfix for PS5 optimization. The game has taken a massive step back on PS5.

Its strange, some PS5 users seem to get that, I for one have not seen it at all over the hours I played following the update.

PS5 user. Sim update 5 has completley broken my game. No avionics loading at all across the board, 737 max 8 cockpit also refuses to load most of the time now. This was a historic issue that seemed to go away, but is back worse than ever. At any airport that isn’t a dirt field, textures blur and rendering is horrific. Stuttering is worse than ever. Turned all graphics settings to low, and turned doff all online features like live weather, and traffic. Didn’t change anything. No ground services at any airport seem to work, constantly skips to taxi, then the avionics disappear again after waiting 10 minutes for them to load. Unplayable. The 737 max 8 is looking much better though. Will be great when my flight sim let’s me fly again.

Memory management is an issue on Xbox Series X as well (and I imagine Series S). I did a flight with the Beluga and by the end I got the “memory is low, disabling avionics” message. Thakfully it was as I exited the mission so I didn’t have to tend to it in flight. I never got this message before so I guess it’s some kind of change in SU5 on all platforms.

What happened to Missions with real time and live weather in career mode with the red dot? All gone…

HUGE BUG, which wasn’t present in beta. I don’t exit dark mode when I press the start button, the screen remains dark. I restarted the game but nothing works. This happened during the PPL and has never returned to normal.
I have noticed that when I come to a stop I get these little micro stutters but otherwise performance is very good. Is this what you get ?
Guys, dense forrest terrain looks like this Everywhere on my xbox fs24 
Anyway fs24 allready deleted from my console (white dot curse alive) I lm done until su6.
xbx fs24 Amazon and Congo forrests (random places)

True…i didn’t even start a flight. I stucked from time 19:30 - 02:00 o’clock in the preflight process to plan my flight. But i never could finish it. One time my cockpit completely disappeared and i saw just the airport through my cockpit haha…after restart i got avionics warning directly after fresh restart from ps5. After that my cockpit froze and the monitors went dark….next try got stopped because of wrong working mcdu. The hard truth is that even after 6,5h preparation i never experienced a actual flight….i gave up. Prepare 3-5 times a flight, changing all graphic-settings to lowest value and restarts many time the game and my ps5, i had enough…
It’s made me really sad. I started to play this game before 2 weeks and i loved that game….i don’t know when or if i will experience the nice add ons from marketplace like better liveries…. I’m also jealous about the guys who playing on PC, discussing about ultra and high graphic settings and on ps5 the game is not even survive the performance on lowest level…our max level is just medium and that is not working….the game is not ready for enjoying performance on ps5……
Have you tried deleting your reserved space. I always do it after a beta patch or major update

The first time I started SU5 after the update I got amazing fps until I found out that my settings had been changed, for example my LOD was turned down to 25. I tried to increase it to 100 which was my previous settung but the fps got so bad so I had to revert it back to 25. My poor RTX 3080 apparently does not like the new update or maybe SU5 does not like my GPU. I’ll play some more and see how it goes, it might be to early for me to draw any conclusions.
I used the same aircraft as i have done for the last couple of weeks, the TriStar. It behaved very good, much better performance when switching views. This is probably because IniBuilds released a new version just before SU5.
A SU5 fix I like is when moving a chart in the EFB it now stays where I put it! Before the chart seemed to align itself somewhere else compared to where I wanted it to go. Besides that I have not yet seen any other changes/enhancements compared to SU4. Maybe it is just me but they worked so long with SU5 so it must be more things in there which I haven’t noticed yet.

I did two 3 hour flights with PMDG B738 today (no custom sceneries installed) and did not notice any difference from SU4 to SU5 on XBox Series S. Everything worked fine, except the AI traffic which is behaving oddly. I have static aircraft deactivated and moving AI traffic aircraft are spawning randomly and disappearing the next second on airports. I did not see any aircraft while I was in cruise for 3 hours. Also I did not hear any AI traffic on the ATC. It might not be related to SU5 but I think it is worth mentioning anyways.

Might be useful too and good if MSFS good read this (A320-21neo)
Just had my first flight with SU5
- I waited 24 hrs before trying it out as I think with MSFS2024 the servers are responsible for a lot of stuttering issues.
- PMDG B737-900ER. KDFW-KATL. A few stutters as usual on pushback and taxi but nothing terrible - smooth takeoff and climb out, Much better LOD than with SU4, no stutters as we flew the SID and continued our climb out, eventually reaching FL350.
- Weather awful as usual - a lovely layer of fluffy Cu at FL350, where you would only expect to see Convective tops. It felt a bit like the sort of crud you fly through in a turbo prop at 18k-20k.
- couldn’t see any difference in turbulence at the medium setting I use…
- Approach and landing were fine - very smooth but one or two small stutters towards end of roll out, then a few more taxiing in to stand.
No low memory messages either. Will try a few other aircraft over weekend and see what happens, but off to a reasonably good start for me as I fly the PMDG 737-900 the most, will have to see if the soon to drop hi-res update has any effect on performance.
I was fearing a big regression - a lot have reported issues here, but that hasn’t happened (yet) to me.. Fingers crossed that everybody suffering with problems can find a good workaround quickly and get on with flying.
Ive always dreaded these big SUs dropping and I’m sure there’s a better way of making improvements to the sim..

Hello I’m flying on Xbox series S and I also don’t have any Real World Online traffic.
I have it on, but I can’t see any aircraft in the sky, nor contrails and lights. I can only see SOME of them taxiing on the ground then disappear after taking off. No traffic at the radio either.
Most of parked aircraft are fictional and decorative with no consistency (737 United in Paris CDG).
I write this topic if you guys want to share any bug about the A320 Family (320/21neo)

PS5 Pro user. Same problems that others report after updating to SU5. “Memory resources are getting low disabling avionics to grant stability” and avionics black out in the default A320neo. Poor textures in character quality in the cockpit. No more Live red dot missions across specializations. Cleared cache in safe mode which I thought helped at first but ultimately did not. At least give us the option to revert to SU4 while you fix this!

I’m still yet to be able to do any flight in both the PMDG 777, A320neo and A350 out of Heathrow without getting the low memory warnings and black avionics. I like to do a long haul on a Friday night, so looks like I will be doing it on 2020 tonight. Such a shame as I was really enjoying SU4, it was stable and performance was good for the most part.
