I’ve been having trouble with stuttering and overall smoothness of the sim and For all the Xbox Series X users try this:
Set the Xbox to 4k at 60hz instead of 120hz. I find the performance is much better at 60hz. Make sure you reset the sim when you change the display settings on the XB for it to take effect.
I don’t think the sim is built to run at 120Hz on xbox.
Right. But the Xbox Series X will set itself at 120hz if it connects to a 120hz native tv. Have to manually go into the XBX settings and set it to 60hz.
also, even if the TV has native 120Hz - it depends on the quality of the TV’s video circuitry, including VRR,
using a high quality, Samsung QN90A with Xbox 120Hz & VRR On,
no problems…
I have the 55" version. I find it smoother without it on.
are you referring to VRR?
Correct. Also disabling Game Mode on the TV.
interesting, very different to my settings of Game Mode On, VRR On and 120Hz - with good results with Xbox & MFS,
can you please confirm the TV model you are using?
I’ve always been having trouble with it on my Series X. It is connected to a Sony AF8 and the display setting automatically changes to Dolby Vision when starting the simulator up. Wondering if I disable it will make it run more smoothly because it’s always right on the edge of crashing. It stutters basically all the time and the FPS is way below 20 maybe even 10 when I move the camera around.
I had a Series S which oddly enough didn’t struggled as much.
Now I’m just sitting around regretting why I didn’t get myself a PC instead. 
The TV model I have is QN55Q70A. I will list the settings I have and post here later when I get home.
Have you tried setting the Xbox to 4k at 60hz?
It is on the 4K but I don’t see the 60 Hz option anywhere.
It just says 4K UHD, 1080p and 720p.
thanks for the TV info,
there is a difference between the Q70A & the QN90A,
& that difference in TV video circuitry explains why we are both using quite different Xbox & TV settings, for best performance,
this explains clearly why so many users on this forum are getting different experiences with MFS running on Xbox…
There are some fairly extensive settings in the xbox main settings menu for the display you are using. And pushing some things that are only partially supported can cause issues. Especially ‘transition’ TV’s from the last few years that had HDR ‘like’ features but not true full HDR support, or lacking true 2.1HDMI. Sometimes the TV’s software will allow you to enable a setting that doesn’t really exist and XBOX is tricked into pushing it.
Being I bought two OLED’s recently for the living room and bedroom(wonder if I can swap that BR one on the down-low for something else), I may end up with a Hisense U7G for the basement, as I have no viewing angles other than straight on. At least supports full HDR10+ @120 and has 2.1 for well under $1K. The basement Samsung is like 3-4 years old and has mostly ‘emulated’ features, when really it’s just normal 4K at 60, no true HDR nor 2.1HDMI. It was fine on XBOX One X duty before I got the SX. I’m not looking for the deepest blacks in the newest creations of Ridley Scott, I just want true 120HZ. It also has Atmos to head off any other compatibility issues.
Is your TV 120hz Native?
I just find it baffling how it works so smoothly and fluid like when game mode is off, VRR is off and set at 60hz.
No, 60 Hz. That’s probably why the option weren’t in the settings.
I’m going to try with the game mode turned off as well.
it does sound baffling,
but the good news is that your settings work best for you - pleased you got it working,
so every model of TV used with Xbox seems to need special tuning to get the best results with MFS,
makes sense…
