Major performance deterioration at altitude over Europe?

[Redge 268]

I rarely fly in central Europe due to exactly this issue. As soon as I get east of EHAM (sounds like a movie title!) I get severe stuttering and poor FPS. The worst part is that the performance never really recovers after that, even if in overflying to somewhere empty like the Gulf (Although maybe SU15 solved this particular degradation - I haven’t checked yet)

i recall flying a lot to EDDK early on without such big issues. I first noticed it after the Germany WU, and it still plagues me to this day even on a 7800X3D/4090.

You mention the Germany WU, so maybe this is something to test - do people also get the performance degradation without this WU?

I do not get performance degradation when I disable PG. I think this says it all.

A potential other culprit, maybe not though.  Could AI traffic be causing this? Buildup of busy areas, potentially ground traffic at gates being loaded in at multiple airports while you are in the cruise.  Think of all the traffic on the ground around say a place like Paris.

I’m thinking this most likely plays a part, especially with high AI traffic. Using FSLTL, the skies over Europe are absolutely crowded with AI contrails.

I dont think so. I have this in the MD80, Fenix.  The issue gets worse with altitude here.

Strange that we are few?

Could it be the server in Europe causing this I wonder?

I have been flying all over Europe for months now and never have any problems, I am connected to the East USA server as I am in Canada. Currently at FL350 in the Fenix V2 approaching TOD into Malaga, it has been smooth sailing all the way.

A possible point , thanks , will try switching to USA

Same thing for me. It started when the dune came out. I removed and installed drivers, reinstalled the system, and still the same...
