This SIM is unflyable lately for me

Like the title says the SIM has been unusable for me lately. I’ve got a solid internet connection of between 200 to 300 down with a ping between 30 and 40.

I’ve got a decent system - 13900 and 4090. I can’t play in VR or my monitor as the sim gets so jerky that it is literally unflyable.

I’ve tried the latest G force driver and also rolled back to 531.29. Which I have always had luck with.

Nothing helps.

Is anyone else experiencing this lately?

Try disabling or clearing rolling cache.

And most important if you’ve changed your drivers… The Windows Shader Cache!!

I can only second clearing the rolling cache. The last I knew I got very poor performance with it on. It works fine on off. No issues. 10700k + 3080 + VR

You guys are all awesome. The problem is seemingly cured as I tried it out during the discovery flight over Rome in VR.

I’m installing the latest g force driver now to see if I have better luck with it now that I know what some of the ailments were.
