This just in: is it possible this did more than lose...

...the spinning circle indicator lower right screen?  See this entry for how to do this:  https://forums.flightsimulator.com/u/ZahiDhuubow  You can also simply hit the 'clear' button to the right of the other buttons logged in the console.

So besides getting rid of the spinning indicator I'm also back to totally smooth flights even in relatively complex airports like KLAS which I've not been able to do using Ultra settings that I could do previously but haven't been able to do reliably for weeks.  Still too early to be sure but my hunch is this might also be contributing to restoration of prior performance/behavior, besides getting rid of the microstutter inducing frequently spinning indicator.

So the link is supposed to tell us what?

I believe you have linked to a user profile on the MSFS forums rather than to a specific post.

It's Friday night boys and we've all had a drink.

Now't to see here.

Sir, this is a Wendy's drive-thru.

OK. I seem to have got rid of the whirling disc by switching all my avatar settings back to default. Could some one please try this and confirm? (I had previously opened the dev console and noticed a number of avatar errors.) Maybe it was just opening the console that did it?

It's not often a AVSIM thread makes me lol but when it does.....

I have no punchline...

Joke all you wish but this has fully restored excellent performance for me.  This is the first time this has been the case in at least a month in fact it's best ever.  100% smooth, stutter free flight once again.  And even GPU and CPU load are predictable and correlate w/ maintenance of vsync to 30Hz.

I noticed no difference FPS in clearing the dev console window 'warnings and errors' as suggested by your linked posts.  I was hoping it would, but I was at the gate so maybe while moving (I will test later).  More interesting to me was the shear volume of issues associated with the MS default kingair concerning 'knob animations' when you are not even in that plane.  I tried pulling the kingair out of the FS directory but when re-entering the game, it will download it again, so that does not work.

I don't look at FPS per se, just how well the sim can maintain the minimum 30 for vsync to a 30Hz screen.  But for me this is persisting now over maybe 6 flights now and thankfully along w/ it the spinning indicator is essentially completely gone.  I did just fly out of KSBA to KRNO in the Citation L and had a lovely totally stutter-free flight thru the FLOUT departure procedure.  As I went over the coast range there thru dense clouds I had to dial back a few more GPU-heavy sliders to maintain that but all remained well.  For some reason thin hazy cloud density can have a big impact on my modest GPU but this has always been the case.  

What you alude to, the sheer number of warnings and errors, which I have not bothered to read.  One wonders if a reinstall of MSFS might clear up some of this up--no one here knows unless they've had a similar experience and indeed it helped.  Right now, for reasons I don't appreciate, laying down new errors/warning/messages in the console after clearing them does not result in the spinning indicator returning.  But I have been doing this ritual w/ all flights w/ very nice results thusfar.  It was not long ago I was about to park it again and return to P3D but alas we're back to fully functional so far.

I look forward to trying it during a flight vs just at the ramp.  However, I did notice that the warnings and errors continue to populate during the sim session.  Are you continuing to clear them multiple times during your flight or only at the begining?  I also would like to know if the next time you go to clear them, take a look at a few and see if you get the 'kingair' associated like I do, thanks.
