I fired up P3dv5 at 11:48 am, and planned a flight from KPHL (Philly) to KLAS (Vegas).  Thousands of miles.  I got the Airbus 320 up to 32,000 feet, autopilot turned on, and my wife and I left the house to run some errands.  We got back after 4:00 pm, and my flight was about 245 miles from Sin City.  The plane was flying beautifully smooth, no pauses, no stutters, and clear topography everywhere.  What I realized is that the stutters and pauses would have occurred to the point of frustration if I had been at the computer monitoring the flight.  I would have done the following if I were home:

• I would have changed views very frequently to Spot view, wing view, and all other views available to me. Why?  Because that' how I enjoy simming. The spectacular scenery I paid for needs to be enjoyed.
• I would have done what I wrote in my first bullet above again and again!

I'm convinced that by leaving the plane on one view, in a STATIC view, which was the VC view in this case, I made it across the country with no crashes, and with no debilitating issues.  Obviously, I would hate to fly like this all the time, and I'm hoping that the next LM fix will address the performance issues when we use the sim's dynamic features.

ps.  This is not a problem in P3dV4.5.  Changing views continuously has never been a problem for me.  Long flights remain intact.

You are correct Stan. I know multiple V5 users experiencing stutters when changing views.

As I use static views only I do not have this.

Hopefully LM will fix this and v5.2 will handle this better...
