Does really no one has any micro stutters? I tried now several settings described here and elswhere. Tried 30hz, locked FPS, etc. P3D v4 runs smooth with no stutters. P3D v5 also runs complete smooth but every 30 seconds or so the sim stops for around a second. I am clueless so far...

shader cash cleared? Always a good idea if graphic related settings have changed

ooops….! That´s embarrassing😏 Sorry @Skywolf, but it´s showing at least where i got it wrong...🤪

It is all good.  Please let me know the results if you try the tweaks.  On my end, my jaws are dropping on the floor.  I have never never seen this good graphics in my sim.  Smooth as silk and ultra sharp.  The autogen ...it is everywhere - pretty lights!!!!

100% Lol I forgot to mention that at start of the thread.  That is mandatory.  I figured every one kinda knows from FSX days.  Change some settings - Always clear shader cache.

You have AA set at 2,,,,really don't need any AA at super high resolutions.

yeah, but it´s an interesting point from julien, because i had a similar issue. I was driving my V5 with exact the same settings i´ve used in 4.5. After the HF1 installed and the Beta#2 from AS everything seemed smooth (the FPS where nailed to 30) but there where something like a hickup every 3 or 4 seconds precisely like a clockwork. It was mainly noticeable on airport vehicles driving by my frontview. Then, just for fun, i´ve changed my setting to unlimited framerate with VSnyc On and voila, magic no hickup anymore and everything smooth, even the vehicles driving by. I started a testflight to EDDF  from EDDH and everything from pushback to gate arrival, absolutly no stutters and the FPS where nailed to 30 (because of my monitor) never droped just a single frame. This was never the case in 4.5 and just surprised me positive.

Not at 4K - everything is crisp and clear.  I can't even tell the different after 2AA

Time to upgrade your cpu bud 

thats  your bottleneck

I thought the same, but it's not true. I can definitelly see jaggies even with 2xSSAA. The absolute minimum for me is 4xSSAA.

Yup, I'm building a new PC soon. Slowly ordering all my parts.

@captain420 can you try with LOD of 2.5 and rest the same as mentioned in the thread.  See if you can copy the exact settings from my screenshots or reduce mesh settings by one notch and put autogen to normal and go from there.  Remember to clear shader cache

Try with no affinity mask and see what happens.  If that isn't smooth try with affinity mask.

Also - right click on prepar3d icon - make sure it is set to run on admin mode and disable full screen optimizations (it is right next to it)

Shader Caches deleted countless times. 😉 I suspected an old nvdia inspector installation on my system what I then found somwhere and delted it and restored everything.  I also deleted the prepar3d.cfg, made a clean driver installation. Nothing. The sim is superb. Rockstable. Super FPS. Good looking. But the one second pause every 30 seconds is driving me nuts... 😉

i get a micro stutter, very fine when clicking from one monitor to my main p3dv5 monitor, but this sim is rock solid, like you say

[Skywolf 992]

@julian2 and @kurtb what Nvidia drivers do you have - you need latest and I am running Windows  2004 Release Preview Build.

I am having zero stutters - my HT is off though and no affninity mask - I have 6core

 

I am doing a flight now with addons which vexed me and windows just freed up so much vram - I even browsers opened etc -

Hi Skywolf. Latest driver and also 2004 release preview. HT also turned off in bios and no affinity mask. 4 cores.
