it’s the framegen that is somehow messed up.

I am sure its not framgegen this problem is related to the location you are in. I can have great flights in Spain while having a stutterfest in California. I am sure its something with the game and engine code that was changed in SU4.

Whatever it is, Asobo needs to fix it. Also embarrassing is the drop in FPS (similar to the stuttering issue when panning) that occurs in the game menus, or when selecting a tab from the top bar during gameplay. In short, something’s wrong.

I am sure these are all still problems that have something to do with the failed mainthread handling of the game.

I see massive FPS drops and VRAM increases + error messages when I pan the camera down to the lowest ground level and move it around the airplane - happens even in the middle of nowhere, not just at high detail addon airports. Stopping just slightly above ground level is smooth - completely bizarre. …

Yes, the bottom-up panning is mind-blowing. The fps tearing is too noticeable and really annoying.

Less stutters for me on msfs 24 SU5 beta.

yes but it still needs improvement…
