I’ve been doing quite a bit of flying lately in MSFS 2020 and noticed something odd with performance across different cities.

Big cities like New York, Chicago, and Portland actually run really smoothly for me, and great FPS too, even when flying low and slow. But when I try flying around Jakarta, Indonesia, I get a lot of stuttering, and it just doesn’t feel nearly as smooth. Washington D.C. seems somewhere in the middle — better than Jakarta but not as good as the others.

Could it be that areas like Jakarta have way more densely packed residential buildings (as in the actual demography/topography), or it just doesn’t get the same level of optimization as major cities?

I just tested this because there are updates available in Content Manager for Oceania & US Major Cities scenery, check them out

Yup also the textures are much more crisp and look better. On my setup (9800x3d & 5080) I'm flying 2020 with 3rd airports with max settings, 3x MF and it's heaven. FPS never drop.
