I really thought my pc was going to provide a stutter free FS experience, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. For the record, I have 1 Gbps internet (fiber optic) that is solid. I have tried the auto fps tool, gone through a ton of tips, but i am still getting stutters when i pan, micro stutters every 10-15 seconds, and occasional freezes. I have tried turning off virus protection, AMD’s hyperthreading (smt) and countless other tips. I have a gsync monitor. 

Any ideas? Thanks. 

try checking hypo-threading in your bio's worked for me. Make sure it is off

It's the settings, you have to work on them and find the sweet spot. Everyone sets them too high at first, but easing off a bit here and there makes a huge difference. The biggest stutter hogs are TLOD and OLOD try 150 for TLOD and 100 for OLOD, as a good start.

Auto FPS takes care of TLOD and OLOD, so I doubt if that is the problem.

I don't use Auto Fps. I don't really like it, I prefer to set a stable environment.

Install Rivertuner and set a high FPS then gradually lower it until you see stable frame times displayed.  See this thread that started my super smooth MSFS discovery.

Read through the thread because some of the advice early on changed slightly through it. the secret to smooth flight is stable frame times, not chasing fps.

I get good FPS, solid, no stutters at all with Auto FPS. Wouldn't give it up for anything.

Yes but the OP said that he does.   Hence less likely to be settings related in his case.

It was showing TLOD = 50, OLOD was 100 and still stutters.

You can try it without AI, another big source of stutters.

Not sure if this would have any relevance but recently read this and thought the comments on the 7950x3d CCD cores scheduling  was interesting.

Try my settings, HAGS and XBOX Game mode on, G-Sync and V-Sync on + Low Latency at Ultra in NVCP,  DX12. FG + TAA in game, with those settings the game will auto lock at 3fps under your monitors refresh rate, works flawlessly without stuttering for me.

@RobJC Where do you get these stutters? Only at major airports with AI traffic, or also in remote areas? Is it aircraft-dependent?

I will give that a shot.

Let me test at different airports. I was mostly using KDEN and KLAX.
