His step by step method video. (He also links to another video by someone else in the comments section below, on Youtube).

 

 

His method is basically this:
 

Set Anti Aliasing to your favorite: TAA or DLSS

If you choose AA to be DLSS, then set DLSS Super Resolution to a setting you think is too low, such as Balanced.

Set Global Rendering Quality to something lower than you expect to end up using. Such as maybe Medium.

Set Off Screen Terrain Pre Caching to Ultra. (he says always use this to prevent stutters when panning the view). You can't tune your system with any setting of OSTPC other than Ultra.

The next step is to set 3 things to the bare minimum as a starting point. All will increased later.

TLOD 10

Buildings LOW

OLOD 10
----------------

At this point all non potato systems will be smooth.

Keep increasing DLLS resolution if you use DLSS AA.

And keep increasing the TLOD, Buildings, and OLOD sliders until when panning the outside view causes hickups or flutters. For me this is 160 on OLOD and TLOD and Buildings High. And by now I have DLSS resolution up from Balanced to Quality and the Global Rendering Preset up from Medium to High End.

There's absolutely no fluttering when panning outside view. All is stable. Fps is about 50 to 60 at London City Airport flying straight out RY 27, the default RY.

So on my system DLSS Quality, Global Rendering Preset High End, DLSS resolution Quality. TLOD 160 OLOD 160 Buildings High

On GA planes I can usually just turn DLLS resolution up to DLAA instead of Quality. But I can't always get away with that.

The main key is to initially set TLOD OLOD to 10 and Buildings to LOW before beginning to tune.

---------------------------

His final steps are always these:

Go down to the bottom of the options list and set 3 things:

Lens correction OFF (he thinks it makes it easier to put mouse pointer on a knob and turn it).

Motion Blur OFF (he says few persons like this effect).

Glass Cockpit Refresh Rate to HIGH (he says a recent Asobo patch puts this onto its own isolated cpu thread, so it doesn't hurt any longer to max it out).

 

 

 

 

Another thing on my system, maybe nobody else's, if I suddenly see low fps or stutters I change from Full Screen to Windowed and then back to Full Screen. This sometimes revs up performance when strange drops in performance happen for no reason that I can see.

These videos are so worthless and numerous. So literally everything we all ready know to do.  

I believe Microsoft has introduced a stuttering problem with the last update. Either that or Windows 11 borked something. I was smooth as butter until that last update now I have 1 second pause every 1 to 2 minutes and strange panning artifacts.  So annoying. 

I have the same settings that had when it was buttery smooth with no stutters. Not using rolling cache, no GAIST installed, DLSS swapper with v3.7.0 installed.  Thought 3.7.10 or 20 was causing an issue it wasn't. Nvidia game drivers 560.70, tried rolling back to last good known driver when there were no stutters, that didn't work.  Unattached community folder mods, turned off all traffic, nothing running externally.  No anti-virus. Turned off all online functionality and still got stutters.

Settings don't seem to matter at all. 

I can't figure it out.    

Probably time to nuke the install and start over.  I'm just curious if that will actually fix the problem. 

I had the same issue after the update. It went away, poof! All at once. Alt Enter twice from full screen, windowed, and back to full screen. I also cleaned my cache with Start Window, DiskManager, Direct X Shader Cache delete all files. Perhaps that helped.

I find that wearing blue socks helps. Gives me another 6 or 7 fps. But only on Wednesdays (obviously!)

I wore my wife's panty hose and that gave me an extra 10 fps. But my wife left me so I guess it's back to X-Plane...

I would imagine every minute of everyday there will be a new MSFS user wondering how to do something that *you* already know.

Did you watch the video?  Do you know that you can bring the settings sliders down then gradually bring them up?  Stunning revelation.

I didn't need to see the video because My system is running quite nicely.  Since your reply above, several other new users of MSFS are searching for what the video demonstrates.
