I stumbled across a “fix” that seems to alleviate some of the stuttering with latest upgrade. I apologize in advance for the long post.
This am when I started the SIM I got an error message about no data connection. Before I could leave the connection had been reestablished and other than having to resign in on an XBOX screen it appeared to be normal. To test my performance I do a flight from Addison airport in the DFW area to Love Field. My stuttering like many others has gotten much worse since the update. Another quirk with this scenario is that a huge amount of buildings disappear and the come back just north of RWY 13L at Love Field. Imagine my surprise when this did not happen this AM. Landing very smooth and no rewrites of scenery. I tried the rest of my flights all with much smoother flying and barely any stuttering. The big test was the 747 challenge into Kennedy airport. Smooth as silk!!! Tonight I fired up the sim and alas back to what was going on before. Thinking of it having something to do with the internet I did the following steps and got the smoothness back. I don’t know why. Here are the steps.
- In the data setup turn off online functionality. It will take 30 to 45 seconds to apply the settings. (I thought that maybe the game locked up; be patient)
- Turn online functionality back on. Hit apply and save.
- You will get this message: "Your package is out of date. In order to get the necessary updates and go on line you will be returned to sign in screen.
- Click yes
- You will see a little waning sign in the upper right hand screen that you have signed out of xbox live.
- Screen will go black and then you will see Press any button to continue along the bottom of the screen.
- An XBOX live will appear welcoming you back and inviting you to play the game.
- After clicking the let’s play the splash screen will be the TBM930.
- You then will return the normal option screens to setup your flight.
Whatever this does to the sim remains as long as you are playing. And you can run as many flights as you want which for me was better performance and less stuttering.
When you exit FS2020 and restart you will have to repeat the above steps. For the life of me I am not sure why this works and hopefully someone can explain it to me.
Hope it works for you
