Didn't have this problem before 1.14.5, now I do!

Oh boy, so very tiresome.

Ok i think im getting to the point where the aggravation is just not worth it. This issue did not exist before the UK update. I was flying happily along with my gpu pegged at 100% the entire time with the system tuned properly for this sim. I did not just drop another $1700.00 in February to end up with the same framerate (and in some cases lower) than i had with my previous card and cpu due to some random inexplicable drop in resource usage since the UK update.

What's getting more on my nerves is the silence from Asobo regarding this issue and what they plan to do about it. Hopefully enough people pressure them to respond to the issue.

Please don't spend anymore money, I've ploughed £4500 so far and was even contemplating a CPU upgrade - not now.

I can't even hit 30fps (in a 152) in 2k at UK2000 EGGD, whilst before I was getting high 40s in a TBM 930

 

Similar here, what with a new PC Build, Win 10, the sim and numerous addons i'm have likely spent near on £3k... I am not even going to bother buying the CRJ next week if they don't resolve these issues. No point in wasting more money on something that will likely just give more frustration (not Aerosofts fault)

Hi all!  Just found this thread after tirelessly searching today for "current" discussion on this (there are a LOT of "FPS" related topics on FS2020 spanning back since August).  Since the UK (aka World 3) update went out, I flew twice on 2/20 and 3/7 in my local vicinity of KATW, but both of those flights I stayed on the west side of Lake Winnebago, went as far as KOSH, out over mid-lake, and then back to KATW to land.  No issues with the flights themselves, but what was noteworthy at the time was on 3/7 my first load up of the sim, the in-game menu was an absolute slideshow.  I couldn't figure out what was wrong, and then I noticed using MSI Afterburner and HSiNFO that my GPU was barely doing anything-- so much so the three fans spun down and stopped like it was idling.  I killed FS, restarted it (which was fine) and then did my local flight.

Now this morning I came back to fly again since 3/8, left KATW, flew down to KFDL, then east to KSBM.  Enroute JUST before the airspace boundary for KSBM it was like hitting a wall-- FPS tanked from ~60ish down to 20-30, and I noticed if I turned around immediately it stopped and went back to normal.  Turned around again and "flew into it" again.  Headed up east side of Lake Winnebago and hit it three more times.  Shows "Limited by Main Thread" each time and GPU just sits there waiting for it.  

I tried a number of solutions from other sources prior to finding this thread, but even with those on three additional flights and using two different aircraft I could replicate the problem in the same areas on the maps each time.  I'll go try the suggestions yet for the VFR map trick and turning off Online Functionality as basically the last option to "prove" it's not me!!

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread.  It helped put me at ease, to a degree, on this.

Hmmm....Maybe the virtual “wall” you hit just before KSBM was the result of flying above me hitting the same “Limited by the Main Thread Even Though You’re Virtually Flying In Rural Wisconsin” wall while virtually flying here in real-life Plymouth!? 🙂

LOL, that'd be a trip if you're telling me you live in Plymouth!

I don't think any further proof is needed. It's not you. 

Asobo already know the issue and working on it.

I share your disappointment, I have built my computer alone for MSFS and have invested about 4,500 € so far in computer parts and peripherals, the sim was running super smooth and was locking gorgeous in Ultra before UK update, but now it looks awful and are almost unplayable.

The strange thing is that they have not noticed the problem themselves since the UK update, I wonder if they have a "quality control" worth the name.

They clearly don't. 

Mine has improved a lot since early yesterday, and virtually back to the way it was prior to WU3 and Sim update.

Getting a steady 30fps everywhere other than on the ground at EGLL. ( which always had a fps hit )

i think Asobo right now are on a transitional period of positive optimization with some negative impact. Sim before World Update 3 and latest update was ultra smooth with great performance.

They already fixed in-game V-sync options + G-Sync now is working on full screen mode. But they introduced new performance issues which i am sure they are going to fix asap.

 

 

 

  

Same problem here. Started with 1.14.5 on flight I've been doing many times in days before the update. That is Narita to Haneda in Tokyo. I'm landing on 34R via Z approach. At about 8NM from the runway, FPS drops.

Manipulators oscillates between good and bad frames, bad ones being 100ms. Normally I'm getting about 40fps, with these drops it's about 12.

No rolling cache, no other online service. Settings generally on high.

Works fine without photogrametry. No other setting seems to have any effect, including terrain distance scaling.

It's not the airport though. It seems to be specific island in Tokyo bay (where the road goes into underwater tunnel). Seems to happen in about the same distance from all direction, and that's about 3NM. Once I get outside the 'cursed zone', FPS return to normal.

I posted ticket, we'll see.
