Just a reminder Mr Kock told me that no one at AS has seen this probelm. So there you go no probelm at all..............😀😡

Well, maybe they use the same build of MSFS as Asobo - you know, the one they use to do their promotional videos. 
Loads of water masks everywhere and without all of that weird shading under the bridges, look at the Golden Gate bridge - stunning!  
Not only does it look great, it runs super smooth as well by the look of it!   I really wish I had that version.  I would pay good money for it....

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Yes, I'm seeing framerates reduced by around 50% on occasion in some areas as of March 14th. These dips last anywhere from a few seconds to a minute and are accompanied by a sudden, sharp decrease in GPU utilization and increase in CPU load on the main thread. Luckily, it rarely happens on takeoff or final approach, so I'm able to deal with it.

I was looking forward to trying out the CRJ in 2020 but until they come up with a fix I will have to delay my purchase.

I did not play a lot between UK world update and sim update 3, so i can't pinpoint the origin of the problem, but performance is absolutly terrible now. Sometime during landing it's a slideshow... 

So i voted yes, and hope they will hotfix it, but i won't hold my breath.

That's wise, or you will get a bitter first experience 

Just wondering something, now it's more than 80% who voted yes.

If Asobo really did test it before release it, why didn't they see the problem?

They didn't test it though (at least not with a proper beta group). Jorge admitted that in the last Q&A.

Same here, I would not be surprised if this debacle will affect their release sales.

I got bit bad tonight (I have been off and on but not as bad as tonight)…Flying into LIRQ with a custom airport bought through the marketplace and it was a major stutter fest all the way down on final. The issue is not memory related…When I got to the gate the stutter disappeared. So I went to drone camera…when I went out to the runway the major stutters appeared - when I went back to the gate they disappeared…and so on and so on. It looks like according to the dev mode it was the manipulators (whatever that means).   This is an airport I have flown into without issue previously with the exact same settings prior to the last update....

Once again a disaster filled update…

I'm not sure about this not being memory related.

I found this video on YouTube. Look at what is happening to the GPU memory when the frames drop:

 

No real frame rate drops / outages on my end but ‚just‘ increased stutters / less smooth performance since SU3, especially when close to ground and around major 3PD airports across Europe, was much more fluid before. something must have gotten worse and I am only flying the FBW neo mod zig zag across ENVA, EKCH, EDHH, EGLC, EDDM, LOWW and LOWI these days...

I think the figures above kind of speak for themselves, it seems the "Happy Club" is really quite small.

MSFS gets so bad after a little flying.  A true "stutterfest".  It was always butter smooth before the update.  Looking forward to a hotfix!

Or maybe the whiny club is large?

It's a fact that people tend to be more vocal about problems because the squeaky wheel gets the grease. How many times have you been back to a shop to enthusiastically tell them about not having had any problems shopping there whatsoever and how great they're doing, as opposed to going back to a shop where you bought something which was busted?
