Solved Stuttering Issue on MFS2024 with Shadow PC

I’d like to share the solution to a stuttering problem I experienced while playing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 #mfs2024 on Shadow PC.

I had subscribed to the top-tier plan offered by Shadow, the Expert Advance configuration. I specifically chose this subscription to get the best performance for MFS2024. However, despite trying every possible optimization with the settings, I was constantly facing stuttering every 5-6 seconds. This happened during all phases of flight, with any aircraft or environment—it was consistent.

My internet connection is excellent, and I use a wired LAN connection. I contacted Shadow support, but aside from running some basic network tests, they couldn’t provide a solution.

After days of trying different fixes, I had a thought. I decided to downgrade my subscription to the Shadow Pro plan. Surprisingly, the stuttering completely disappeared! The game now runs smoothly with good settings and zero stuttering in every phase of flight.

I suspect, though I can’t confirm, that despite the Expert Advance configuration being more powerful on paper, it might use older components that don’t handle newer games as well.

I hope this information is helpful to anyone using Shadow PC. If you’re experiencing similar issues, it might be worth testing a lower-tier configuration.

Cheers!

What resolution are you playing at and what frame rate do you have ?

3

2940x1848, 60fps.

With the previous Shadow configuration I also tried many resolutions but without results.

and all ultra???
I’d like to try the power version and have everything at maximum

No, not all ultra. I found a kind of balance setting on web. I didn’t try at all ultra, but I’ll to see the difference.

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your message ! Very helpful for me.

Can you confirm that you mean the plan with 12GB of ram when you say it is working well with “Shadow Pro Plan” ? I was hesitating to subscribe because minimal specs for the game are 16GB ram, and I would use it only for MSFS2024

Thanks again !
