I have had very good overall performance of late but this morning did Dusseldorf to Munchen in the Citation L and all was fabulous until 30m out or so from EDDM, during which erratic big FPS drops happen so aborted the flight before landing.  This was to be an ILS approach and was only 10m out when I bailed.  CPU/GPU loads were really modest at around 65%-70%, and I check the server which indicated 26ms or so on the west coast server.  Any suggestions on ways to fix this, or is it a case of waiting until the developer fixes this?  It's really a pretty area to fly into so very disappointing to abort.  Just checking to see if I missed something on how to get around this show-stopper as I've seen little mention of it in recent threads.

But you did realize and install the latest MSFS v1.15.10 update? That pretty much helped me...

I thought all updates were unavoidable?  When I started MSFS last evening there was a mandatory update, it downloaded 1Gb, but then there wasn't any 'installation' or list of updated features.  I'll go back and have a look thanks Phil.

Addendum:  yep, it was installed.  This was an area I had no problems flying thru previously, but it's been awhile since being back there.  I guess it's going to be a case of waiting and hoping.

I think MSFS can be random on these things sometimes I really do. You could to the same flight again and get a perfect flight. Why I have no idea. 🤥 You sound upto date to me.

that's v1.15.10 I guess, just check your version number but that 1Gig fits the scheme. well, if that did not help maybe some more details would help:

3rd party scenery? I use Simwings EDDM and it's actually pretty smooth. but I am not running on ultra

running multiplayer yes/no

online ATC yes/no

live traffic yes/no

photogrammetry yes/no

any other mods installed (disable them all)

Have avoid all mods thusfar, mainly in order to reduce risk of this sort of thing.  Really I wasn't all that close to EDDM when the stutterfest began, and previously I had absolutely no problems in this area.  My settings were such that GPU/CPU loading were really quite modest.  And the first 200nm of that flight were flawless.  Photogrammetry I've always left on, and I've been using offline windows text-to-speech, and live traffic as well.  It's a real puzzle and we can only hope this gets sorted out at some point.  Fortunately since solving the spinning load indicator I haven't had even one flight ending like the one did today.  I'll try the same flight again another and see how it goes I love Bavarian scenery, especially down toward Fussen ;o)

I did a flight out of NY and the sim ran silky smooth and i was totaly blown away, got out in the middle of...nowere and got a stutter fest for 30 seconds. MSFS had nothing to draw apart from trees. So just put it down to....xxxx!

I know what you mean oftimes it's very random and does not correlate at all w/ local conditions.  I was flying into KSBA the other day, and a good 25nm away from the ocean north of Santa Barbara flying over nothing terrain w/ hardly any buildings etc we got the same stuttering despite bigtime CPU/GPU/VRAM headroom.  It's a mystery but fortunately is 'mostly' fine currently.

Not sure this has something to do with EDDM. I flew LOWI to EDDM several times in the last few days with the A320NX and the CRJ and EDDF to EDDM with the 787 and everything was normal.

For me the sim has not been stable since SU3.

Some are affected more than others; a particular flight plan goes well one day and extreme stutters the next day.

Turning down / off options seem to have no effect; the random stutters are there regardless.

I can get by with flying tropical / island destinations....but cities or dense / populated areas are a no go until Asobo finds a fix for what they broke.

Seems about right FlyB--since SU3 things got stranger, though have improved since the initial FPS drop problem appeared.

Are you using the stock G3000 or the WT mod?

They have a tiger by the tail barely holding on to it. We have already seen the best times for MSFS on a PC. Based on their record so far I expect nothing to get any better.

If it is not broken, keep fixing it until it breaks.

Best go ahead and uninstall it then right away...
