What I have noticed since SU13

[Bobsk8 12,848]

I fly all over the world with A Pilots Life. Every once in awhile, on approach t, regardless of it's  size, I would get momentary freezes of the video which reminded me of the FSX, P3D days. Often it would make it extremely difficult on short final to control the landing. because at 100-2000 feet AGL the video would freeze for a second or two. Since SU13, with many flights, I have not had this happen once. Wondering if anyone else has noticed  this.

What I've noticed:

1. I had to go from 8x8 texture resolution down to 4x4.  The sim still looks amazing but performance with 8x8 on my system caused stuttering especially with third party scenery.

2.  The Longitude at times can't hold it's speed in cruise above 40,000ft.  The AT can drop all the way to almost stall speed if left unchecked.  This is a sporadic problem and doesn't happen on every flight.

3. The sim seems a bit more vibrant than before visually.

This happens frequently (every 3th flight I guess) to me as well. I,m on a 7900X3D and RTX 3090 and Airport size does not matter indeed. Last time I had this was today at LPMA directly above the prior Island LPPS. Since SU13 this happens and before not an issue.

I do also asked myself, if this has somthing todo with GSX Pro loading "verhicles". But thats only a guess and nothing I can or want to proof.

I have never used GSX in MSFS, P3D experiences with it, were enough.

What I was getting prior to SU13 wasn't a stutter, the video would freeze for a second, sometimes two, just as if you hit a pause button.

I've noticed in SU12 that some airports kept loading and reloading generated ground vehicles. You'd look at a parking lot and the cars would be blinking in and out constantly.  Those airports were the ones where I always got the freezing as I approached. 

I haven't flown into any of those airports in SU13 yet, but I'll have to try that later. If the freezes go away, I bet the cars behave too.

Yes. Sounds goes on like nothing is wrong and image (video) is paused between 1 and 2 seconds. I've even had 4 seconds roughly already. 

Always on lower altitudes at the vicinity of an airport. I think within ta least 30nm, most likely closer.

I've noticed the tile loading is getting worse and worse, areas that were never affected are now and it's ruining the immersion greatly.

I'm still getting the blinking cars with some scenery.  I can't recall any freeze on final though I have had that happen before.  I don't use GSX either.

I get this as well, especially with complex addon airports.  There is an additional problem when flying the Comanche, in that the flight model also gets interrupted..  Suspect it is momentary CPU overload. 😉

same thing happens here, but in my case it was there already prior to SU13, couldn't solve it .

it is annoying.

Same issue, In addition sometimes it also happens while I approach a large city or where there are several Addons in the same area, just as the OP did not happen before SU13. No GSX user.

The OP didn't say that, he said it happened before SU13 but doesn't happen with SU13.

Jaja, you’re right. Then opposite effect since SU13.

Thanks for heads up.

Ive got a bit of an older rig (i9 9900k 3090) and would see this regularly when approaching London sometimes up to 5 seconds, so it will be great if SU13 has improved it
