Slight stutter and judder on touchdown - anyone else?

Featured Replies

After some googling and research I've seen a few posts across the internet about this issue.  I'm wondering if its a sim issue or something specific to my setup.

I don't have the greatest PC lets start with that i7 4790k, 1070 and 16GB.  I run mostly med/low settings @1080P with clouds on High.  I usually limit my FPS to 30 and have toyed with this by using the in sim limiter and through NVIDIA control panel.  From cold and dark throughout the majority of my flight I can get between 20-30 FPS but if I run unlimited my FPS can be as high as 40/50 (at cruise).  

Anyway point of this thread is I've developed this annoying stutter/judder on touchdown and I don't recall it always doing this....which is leading me to think its a sim issue.  Even into a remote location (to maintain really high FPS) I will get the stutter/judder on touchdown flying any aircraft really, its not something I can attribute to my CRJ or FBW A320.

Is anyone else experiencing this and do you have any suggestions?

Thanks

I think it's both. MSFS needs high Broadband for flawless work on the other side you can optimize your system.

I can't fully remember, but I don't think I notice the slight stutter on the second touch down.

I think it might be loading the touchdown sounds or smoke effect for the first time. 

I also use the new external sound and camera shake app (can't remember the name at the moment as I am away from my flight sim PC).  That might also cause it for me.
It is just a momentary pause for me though.  Probably 1/10th of a second, but it always seems like more, as any interruption in the smoothness of the frames will get noticed.

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.

Fsx had the same issue which was attributed to loading the touchdown sound. I believe the fix was to delete the sound file. Not sure how that relates to the current sim but I am seeing the same effect.

Hi,

I'm joining your topic right now because I have the same issue...some stutters during touchdown. Stutters are visible on normal flights only, not during "landing challenges". Did you find any solution to fix this, please ? Thank you

Would you by any chance be running FSRealistic, and if so might it be some of the ‘camera shake’ introduced by this app?

Hi, sorry for the delay reply. When FSRealistic is ON or OFF, I get stutters during touchdown....
