Stuttering with Airbus A330

Where did you get this version? In SU4.In SU3 version 5.27.0 and all variants of the A320 A321 Beluga. They are terribly stuttering, except for the A400 under all conditions.

That’s weired, ‘cause it’s the total opposite for me. Everything’s buttery smooth across the whole iniBuilds Airbus lineup — especially the A330s.

You might wanna double-check your setup, something’s definitely acting up.

Try the usual quick fixes: clear your sim cache, update your GPU drivers, and wipe the config folders where MSFS stores your settings.

I’m on the latest SU4 build and it’s running stupid smooth on my end.

I’ve been a 2020 beta tester since February 2020. Do you think I’ve applied all the methods? The simulator is completely clean, everything possible has been cleared. It’s a bare simulator. Nothing is installed, caches are cleared, roll cache is also cleared, all indexes and caches have been deleted. The Inibulds A330 freezes 40-7-40 everywhere on the runway (I think there’s a problem somewhere in the plane; the problem starts with entering the star and using any pusher). All paid versions work fine without staters.

This is a madhouse. No matter what I do, all the default IniBuilds planes except the A400 have staters on all of them. At all stages of flight, except for parking and until the push. It’s buried somewhere in the navdata, even at flight level 40-9-40.

what are your system specs?

Have you checked your component temperatures?

If you live somewhere warm, definitely try running it with your case open—can’t hurt to test.

Other things I’d check:

Disable the paging file once, reboot, then re-enable it and let Windows manage it automatically—especially if you have low RAM.

Use DDU to completely remove your GPU driver, then reinstall the latest one.

Make sure all updates are installed.

Dust out your system if it hasn’t been done in a while.

Temporarily disable photogrammetry, or leave it off if you never use it.

Close any extra programs when running the sim.

If you’ve tweaked hardware with tools like MSI Afterburner, reset everything to default.

And finally, if nothing works… consider a fresh Windows install.

Let’s end this pointless conversation with you. You’ll also suggest blowing on the computer. Perhaps you didn’t notice carefully that I’m on first-name terms with the simulator. And blowing off dust has nothing to do with it. There’s a problem somewhere in the NAV system, because the staters are everywhere at all stages of the flight. I’ll try disabling Navi Graph and see what happens. Thanks for your helpful advice.

Let me simplify this so it’s perfectly clear.

Every single factor I mentioned can have an impact — from thermal issues to software conflicts — and not all of them contribute equally. One might have a major effect while another is minimal, but you need to check everything and leave no variable untested.

Cleaning the dust out of your PC is absolutely essential. Users here come from all over the world, and in many regions, dust is a serious issue. It can definitely affect your hardware — causing your GPU, CPU, or other key components to throttle their clocks, which directly leads to performance drops.

So yes, every detail matters when you’re trying to rule things out and make sure every part of the system is performing as it should.

This is too much, tons of dust. I have a 3000 rpm fan on the exhaust, and the system temperature is maxed out at 57 degrees. I just had a compressor blower just a week ago. And once again, I think the staters are starting somewhere in the problem of Niva graphs overlapping with the default database. The reason I think this is because all custom planes fly without any staters.

I also have extreme stuttering and loss of FPS in the A330. Haven’t tried other default inibuilds planes recently but I flew the Fenix A319, ini A350, and FWB A380 with no performance issues at all, so it’s not my PC.

What I noticed once was heavy stuttering after entering a new approach into the MCDU in one of those Airbuses. I don‘t remember anymore if it was the A330. A lot of yellow lines appeared on the ND and then the stuttering began.

I don‘t use the A330 very often because of some negative comments in in the official poll thread but maybe I should give it a second try in order to be able to paint my own picture of that bird. All I can say is that the A320neo and A321LR are working very smooth on my side and I‘m so happy they are included in the sim. To be honest. I don‘t need payware with every bolt animated. The Airbus family included in MSFS 2024 is just perfect.

I have a weird performance issue that seems to happen only with the A330. Fly a route from KJFK to EFHK or even a shorter test from BIKF to EFHK or these same routes on the other direction and somewhere over the border between Norway and Sweden my sim goes CPU 100% on all cores it is running. Sim rate 1 to 4, makes no difference.

I have 9950X3D, RTX5090, 64GB ram, 4K ultra and i am using process lasso to keep sim on CCD0 (cache cores) and all other software (such as navigraph, batc, vpilot, fsltl, chrome etc) on CCD1. I have all the latest drivers on chipset, bios etc but lasso seems to be the only one keeping all these executables where i want them to run 100% of the time.

This A330 seems to be the only plane and this location for some reason seems to be the only place where this happens. Every single core in CCD0 just suddenly goes to 100% and stay there for a couple of seconds and this keeps repeating for ~10 minutes in this area.

This doesn’t happen with for example ini A350 in the same place or the Fenix A320. Only the A330. Very strange. Other than this performance with A330 is great which it of course should be with this hw.
