Micro Stutters when the plane touches down

Featured Replies

Hello hoping everyone is having a good day i was just wondering. I have always had micro stutters when the main gear has contact with the runway when landing (on the PMDG 747) and i have never found a good solution to this  (this does not occur on aircraft such as the FSLABS or QW787) . I limited my frames, monitor refresh rate and settings and nothing seems to have done the trick yet. However not too long ago i found this in another forum from someone with this issue in 2014 in the FSX days saying: 'remove or rename fx_skidmark.fx from "effects" folder.' Apparently this worked for the people in the forum. Is this a valid fix and could someone that has tried or knows it will work let me know. Thanks

Try going into the FMC and finding the option to preload the sounds. That has helped some to eliminate the stutters on touch down or takeoff. It’s in the PMDG Setup-Options-Sounds

Rename or delete default skidmark.fx from effects folder, and see if that helps.

If it's neither of the two great suggestions above, I remember fx_tchdwn.fx in the effects folder being a culprit a while ago.

Made a copy, deleted all of the text in the file. Left with a blank fx file and no problems.
