Do you have DLSS frame generation on ?, if so see that report: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/stuttering-when-dlss-frame-generation-is-on-and-huge-fps-drops-at-the-airports/669762?u=dementedcorn327

[kbA7187]

Nope FG off and using TAA.

I also tested with med-high preset, no difference.
Using ultra preset.
All traffic set to off.
NVIDIA latency off.
My textures are always set to medium, higher is horrible stutterfest.

[DementedCorn327]

Thanks for confirming. This should have been fixed with patch 1.2.8.0. Have you disabled you addons, community folder is empty ?.

I tried with community folder empty, reinstalled sim etc.. but still these stutters on rwy, taxis sometimes on final.. TLOD and OLOD at 100.

Really frustrating

[SantaGrapes]

I am getting this same issue. It also happens when taking off at some airports. Running a 3080/7900x3D pair.

[MontgomeryB28]

Same here. I have a i7-13700 and RTX 4080, 32g RAM and 100G connection. I get the stutters across the range of settings - should normally be at a mix of ULTRA and HIGH - tried everything at LOW and target 30 FPS and I ma still getting these stutters when taxiing.

[KiaraLeona]

Same here, mostly landings and parking. It started some days ago, it wasn’t always like that, I guess since I started to go bigger airports, before I was going small/medium ones mostly. I have 7900X, RTX 4070Ti, 32g, 100G internet and installed on an M2. Also tried dynamic setting but it doesn’t seem to help. Also the usage is nowhere near limit, the setup barely lifts a finger.
I found some topic about this for 2020 which seem to be certain sound that were loaded incorrectly or slowely causing this.

Freeze/Lags while touchdown - but fps around 50 while approaching

Hi there, Most of the time I land the A32NX, at touchdown I get stuttering for a moment and than keep rolling on the threshold realy nice and smooth. that issue very annoying me, can some one have an idea for that issue. very much appreciate for solution During the fligth I experienced sim stuck (befor landing in bank position in the same area I used to fly (from LFMN to LIMC) three four times (flights) and continue working after maybe one minute. Every time I fly that route I experienced at t…

And another discussion for 2024

Landing problem (stutters)

With latest update (1.2.8.0) my game, which has no problem until I land, starts to stutter a lot 2-3 meters before landing and causes me to lose control. I fly for 3 hours, everything is fine, but when it comes to landing gently, the game goes haywire. Very frustrating. Is anyone having this problem?

I am unsure if the 2020 bug is related.

[tastyTeast]

Happens to me too at any custom Asobo airports or 3rd party airports. Doesn’t matter the plane, anything from a complex airliner to a simple Cessna.

It will go from 80+ FPS then around 200’ AGL basically freeze, then I’ll crash on the ground because I loose all control. Once settled on the ground it stutters like crazy and is stuck around 5-10fps.

I will even turn my graphics down to low and it still happens.

I have similar specs
4080
7800x3d
64GB RAM

Today is June 14 2025 and the bug you guys mentioned is still in the game.

It ruins my flights. It is really annoying to spend a few hours flying and then I could bin my flight just because plane goes into nosedive 50 feet above ground and crashes somewhere near the runway.

Please lemme know if there is any known solution for the bug yet

[metalvettel787]

I can confirm that I observe just prior to landing major stuttering occurring and during the landing run. Frames do recover when turning off the runway on to the taxiway and sim appears smooth and fluid once more.

I observed this at simple Community Package airports (BKPR, ENBR) but also Asobo default airports such as LEMD.

No addons installed apart from Navigraph hub/avionics/Simbrief. Orbx aerocaches.

Developer mode enabled but not changed.
Running SU2 (no beta)
DX12 for MSFS2024
Nvidia driver 576.52

32GB RAM
Window 11 Prof

TLOD =100
OLOD=100
TAA
No FG
No Fauna

I know problem still not fixed and I really cant enjoy this sim.

They dont listen I think.. a lot of people report this issue long time ago like me here.

[WaterLattice34]

This is a well known issue and is noted in the latest 1.5.7.0 Beta 3 release notes. Asobo is listening. I am aware the issue has been bug logged for quite some time in another thread.
