Hello,

I can remember that when starting MSFS2024 the activation of the packages took very very very long.  

Others where loading the sum within minutes.  For many users this was solved by syncing the PC clock.  

Also for me the loading time was within minutes.  

And now we have users with comparable software and hardware and fast internet connection where we see butter smooth versus stutter festival.  

So why are there so many performance differences between users with almost the same PC specs??

Maybe there is something else going on (like the sync time issue with activation packages)

Example. 

I have  the EXACT same dedicated PC hardware as my friend. 

Stutter versus smooth. 

This  issue you read on all forums!!!

We have butter smooth performances versus bad performances!!!

Whats going on??

MSFS2024 is a festival of smoothness. With beer tents and doughnut stands. 

Don't try and run everything with the same settings you did in 2020. Take it all down a notch or two and it should run just as smooth but it will look even better. 

I'm so incredibly happy that I didn't buy a new PC for this and even going from 32 to 64GB ram was probably not necessary. 

Best sim ever for me, and it's only been three weeks. 

 

I mean, that is basically the question of "how long and strong is a rope?" 

There's thousands of variables at play, maybe it's not even specifically tied to the simulator itself but some external factor (Windows, drivers, user hardware and its setup, anything really). You can find people with stutter issues in every major game release these days, even when it's inherently not the fault of the software itself. Even on seemingly identical machines, you have so many potential variables in the setup that could cause it, like the clock sync issue. Who would imagine that to be a problem between two exactly identical setups but one having 3-4x longer load times.

That's what I meant. 

What is the variable in stutter versus smooth.  

Something like the clock issue 

It's an imponderable. 

Who is running Hyperthreading? It caused studders in 2020, I might try it in 2024, but my gaming laptop is allready running hot.

Performance was a massive bag of poop in FS2020 for me in built up areas. Whatever changes they've made in FS2024 have certainly benefitted my machine. I have a 3090 with a 10900K and can happily run it in 4k at near max settings now. Obviously not running at 60, but smooth enough for me (30-40) in built up areas. If I did want that then I can always use the frame generation app in steam at 2X.

It's funny though as everyone was saying 2020 was buttery smooth for them and there was me struggling to reach 25fps... dropping the resolution also did nothing. All of a sudden with this new version it seems the tables have turned.

Same here. Just did another flight with the Asobo Vision Jet. No stutters. Framerates between 45 and 60. During approach - no reloading of textures; frame rates steady at 45. 

3060ti - 32 gigs of RAM - 1440p ultrawidescreen display - all settings medium/high - optimized through the Nvidia app. 

Sim starts within minutes. Streaming the data works just fine. I haven't gotten the "low bandwith" message at all for the last 3 weeks. 

In addition, I never mess around with my PC-setup. Except for installing the latest graphics drivers, I don't touch/install anything - no dlss swappers and swipers and all that voodoo.

Turn your road and ai traffic to medium.  Mine got reset to ultra after last patch. Took mine from stutters after patch to silky smooth again. Try it, it’s easy, costs you nothing but about 10 seconds of time and you might be surprised.

Much depends on the connection quality. You can have a 1 GBps speed test and at the same time low bandwidth with Azure/MS. I experimented it myself, and it affects both the graphics and the performance, creating stutters when the sim receives data packet bursts and builds the scenery in front of you 😞

Since last week things improved a lot for me, I almost never see low resolution terrain anymore, but I still have the air traffic download error pop up frequently, basically in every flight.

Also, don't put anything in the comm. folder that is not proven 100% compatible with MSFS24.

My two flights this morning:

1: BSQ Grand Duke - stutters

2: Default Cessna Caravan - smooth
