[Official Discussion + Polls] 40th Anniversary Edition/Sim Update 11 - Community / 40th Anniversary Edition Feedback - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

There's plenty of people having issues with SU11 similar to yours, mine, and others.

Hi Dillon…I was reading this discussion thread and it’s clear that many are hurting.

I can’t thank you all enough!

I followed each of Noel’s steps and it worked! I restored all in sim settings to ultra, etc. and smooth again at 30fps/vsync.

I did do an Nvidea driver update, but did not notice the clean install checkbox at that time. This time I did, so a clean install took place, and the shader cache deletion was also something that I had not done until now.

Dillon, I’ve read all of your posts and they are always thoughtful and helpful. I can’t deny that at any time this sim can leave many of its users unable to enjoy it. I do wish performance and stability will always be the focus of all updates. Everything else must down the list.

Again thanks to all for even responding. 
Sincerely,

Sam

I think this should be the best tip for anyone suffering with performance issues post update, quite often settings get changed without the user realising so resetting batch to "default" is a good idea. Glad you got it sorted 🙂

There is no anti-virus, except for Windows defender. 

I have always added an exclusion rule for MSFS and the Community folder in MS Defender.

glad it is working for you again, MSFS is like oxygen for most of us, can't live without it. Another suggestion to prevent possible trouble: use a good backup tool, that will allow a complete restore with just a few easy mouse clicks. I use this:

Thanks Dad, MarcG, and turbomax for your support and suggestions here. Everyone who helped me here are the silver linings to the gloomy clouds I was flying through.

I had some performance issues as well. I always test with the PMDG 737 at a heavy airport with traffic set to 40 or 50. I am tired of messing with settings. I want to fly, not fiddle.

I simply reset the NVIDIA control panel, set to high performance, and a few other things and viola. Back to good performance.

Realtime Online Traffic has increased its performance impact in SU11 oftentimes quite substantially so I have to turn it off depending on the airport now, much more than prior to SU11.  After doing this out of LOWW this morning I enjoyed seeing one lone MSFS user coming in (multiplayer in close prox turned on)!
