I've noticed this and wondered if you have if you have found a way to get rid of it.  It doesn't always happen but it does often enough to where I'd liek to lose it if possible.  I have very fast storage and sufficient memory, and tried some tricks w/ Process Lasso but never quite solved the issue.

Thanks

I read in an article this mod does this to MSFS:  "Disables the default ATC".   Do you personally know what this does, i.e. have you used it yourself?  I ask because ATC isn't stuttering at all, but video animation can sometimes stutter briefly when the clip plays.

Thanks!

No, it doesn't disable the ATC. It just limits the transcript window (ATC history) to 4 lines.

And this prevents the animation stutter?

I have tired Process Lasso assigning a different core to one of the audio processes in task manager but it didnt really help.

The stutter does not occur until the ATC transcript reaches a certain number of lines. This is a very old bug, inherited by FS2004 or even earlier versions.

The fix limits the transcript to 4 lines, everything works as usual but without stuttering.

It says right there in the filename what it does: ATC stuttering fix.

Thanks, MrFuzzy, installed this in the community folder - seems to improve the stuttering. Doesn't disable ATC, but I did have a weird glitch: ATC reverted briefly from Azure to text to speech, or whatever these ugly voices are called. It then flipped back to Azure. Will investigate further.
