We be better off waiting for a Covid vaccine than waiting Asobo to patch this word not allowed.  They just threw this thing over the wall and here we sit trying this and that with wild speculation on root causes.  I needed to vent.  I feel better.  Now, back to tweaking.

The thing is, by all accounts, this is a new thing that happened between Beta and release.  

 

Seems like it would be totally fixable if thats the case.  

 

(and take the VFR menu out of your inflight UI.  It really did help a lot!)

When set up Little Nav Map connection, uncheck fetching AI planes etc, that eliminates the stutters.

Cool. thanks for the tip

wrong, as far as I know yet, l you are no expert on this matter, if you wish you can post your credentials or where you base your statement

It is similar to hyperthread 

On respect to performance it has sky rocket to Ultra and 60 fps for all settings.

 

Asobo has identified the cause of the simconnect stutter bug and a patch specifically for this issue is in the works.  No firm release date for the patch yet, but apparently it is high priority.

Hey Yall,  

 

I see you guys are talking about the CPU load spikes. I was having those as well, especially at altitude when I had a decently long flight plan in.   

 

I was given a link that suggested removing the VFR map from the UI drop down.   (Its located in the ingame UI, under the 'cog' symbol.)

 

While it didn't fix the issue 100% it was an incredibly better experience.  The spikes were much less frequent and shorter in length.   

 

Hope this helps as it sure made me happy!  

(edit: I should probably add that you shouldn't run the VFR map at all after you remove it from the drop down options.)

 

That would actually explain why the G1000 (using same vfr map) is causing so much stutter.

This is sort of an automated version the "click off the game screen" hack, which reportedly helps with stutters. You still have to enable it after the sim launched, but seemingly only once per session. Maybe some sort of profile can be saved, I haven't used Process Lasso before.

Mind to clarify it please. I thought it said when the sim shows up in Process Lasso menu then you need to disable "Windows dynamic thread priority boots enabled". Where does it says you need t enable after the sim launched? Am I misreading something? Thanks

Sorry.  Old school. LOD Level of Detail.  (Too much time working with FS:COF and FSX mesh....Oh, good times)

 

There are two.  Terrain Level of Detail and Objects Level of Detail.  Terrain is for the scenery mesh, the one for objects is kind of self explanatory.
 

These settings set the "radius" around your aircraft where the simulation draws the more detailed areas of scenery.  The lower the setting, the closer to your plane they are rendered and thus your CPU does less work.  The higher the number, the larger the radius and thus more rendering.  Since this setting appears to be a radius (based on how it used to work on earlier versions), the higher you go the amount of rendering you have to do is exponentially larger.  (area of a circle, pi are squared, and the like).  

I imagine this setting also affects your bandwidth usage, as I imagine that LOD levels are loaded from the cloud based on this setting.  Imagine you plane as a marker as you fly over an area.  With low LOD, the area of medium and high resolution mesh and objects will be relatively narrow.  Kind of like a Sharpie.   But with medium LOD settings (mid way), then that might be more like a Felt Tip marker, and with it maxed out, it's like a paint roller.  

With a higher setting, you can go to a higher altitude and see higher quality mesh and objects further from your plane, but at the cost of CPU, since the CPU has to do the calculations for placing the objects and the mesh.

Initially I had 8GB of RAM.  16GB made a big difference for me as well.  I've since installed another 16GB, and I have seen FS2020 use some of it, so I can't say it's been a useless investment.  RAM is cheap.

I thank you very much for the detailed explanation. I sure will use this knowledge.

Best.

You can only find the process when it's running, so yeah, the sim needs to be launched in advance.

I've just changed this once in Lasso, and the setting sticks i.e. is valid for every MSFS restart.

OK, great. So my understanding it should be disabled all the time. 

For me the game changer was 32GB RAM.  16GB is not enough.  I OOMed several times at Flightbeam Denver with the 787-10.  Put 2 more new sticks in yesterday and performance is vastly improved on the low end of frame rates-reducing stutters.  I'd say 5 FPS plus. Now only complex weather and turning in clouds causes stutters.  This thing uses 22GB of RAM over NYC on ultra 1080p.  Ridiculous.

Agree. I see RAM usage at least around 16GB pretty much all the time. 

Yeah, I’ve tried most fixes available. I think very few of them actually works. Most are just outright ridicilous. Like the one about virtualization on Intel processors. If you’re not using virtual machines like VMware, Hypergene-V or similar software there’s absolutely no reason to turn it on. Don’t mess with random stuff. Wait for patches instead!

IMO most tweaks sound like: ”Want MSFS with less stuttering? Easy 😎 Install process lasso, disable this, and that and while you’re at it, change these settings in Windows, unpark some cores, change processor scheduling, turn on gpu accelerated window handler and make your computer run like a potato. But hey, MSFS gained 0.7 fps and is now only stuttering 40 times per minute instead of 41. All buttersmooth now!

setting reflections lower does help, i do not have fps loss form outside view to inside view in the glass cockpits.
