SU4 Beta (1.6.16.0) — Multi-Second Freezes / Stutters During Short Reproducible Flight in Photogrammetry Heavy Area (Stable System, No Overheating)

Yeah, I could give it a test, but don’t think there are any issues with the computer.

I have around 500 sceneries, landmarks, airports, bridges and other scenery fixes. And from the symptoms I see; I belive it’s the accumulated load of all this scenery-stuff that bugs the simulator.

Just had an amazing flight from Degerfeld, around the area and back at dusk with the A2A Aerostar: Not a slight drop in FPS, not a stutter and not any freeze. FAA approved consistency. However, the more scenery I add back to the simulator, the worse it gets, although what the sim renders are the same images, just having the sceneries enabled produce the freezes and stutters. Impossible for me to know if it is the accumulation of sceneries with defects or a direct problem with the SU4 engine, where even the best optimised sceneries would inflict the same issues…

You could be right, as the local stored addons are on a separate NVMe, even though it’s a newer one and even faster one than the base system, maybe there is a system issue? Although it could very well be a MSFS 2024 issue about how the streamed files and store files are handled and synchronised at run time (as the locally stored addons are not even in the rendered area of Degerfeld)? And from the test I did, running only the 3rd party scenery for the NYC area - did not provoke the same freezes, as when the rest of the catalogue (far far away) is enabled in the community folder.

From the tests I’ve done so far, it seems to be a global MSFS 2024 issue about 3rd party scenery linked to in the community folder. Don’t know if the problem would be the same if all sceneries where bought in the Marketplace, but it could be…

From the tests I’ve done, I’m still not able to find any other sinner, than the amount of scenery in the community folder. Without any sceneries, or only a handfull, no issues. I read in another thread, that someone else had issues that were especially bad over central Germany. My observations also confirm that.

Anyone running MSFS 2024 SU4 with a vast amount of sceneries, without any stutters in the locations discussed in this thread?

I can confirm that there are no stutters with only a few sceneries in the community folder. But I have activated all handcrafted airports out of the World- and City-Updates, but they are streamed.

Yes, I also have all world- and city packages enabled without the stutter and freezes.

Even with a minimal amount of 3rd party sceneries, my local airports and the ones in NYC discussed earlier; I get no stutters, but if I enable the pretty large library I have of Aerosoft and ORBX sceneries, and/or my freeware library, the stutters and freezes come back, even if the rendered images actually don’t show any of the sceneries from the “community” library.

I am now experiencing this as well. Build 1.6.31.0. Stable system, and this wasn’t an issue yesterday or even this morning.
