Sometimes I think it can be related to the network providers and what equipments and configurations are used on the branch that serves your access.

In my case I never have stutters or almost never and my home NET is 200/20 mbps coaxial.

Testing = a Adobo Job and Beta tester as well 

We talk about a released product ..I want to use it and not test it. 

But I understand you trying to help and point into some directions where issues are common. 

Just this is not something we paying customers should do...

 

Yes, but even MSFS 2024 is developed for certain hardware. MSFS 2024 could be 100% bug free, but that doesn't mean all systems should be able to run MSFS 2024 at 4K with all settings at Ultra, and using the most demanding add-ons.

It's not Asobo's job to ensure every system can run at 4K and Ultra given the hardware capabilities in 2025 (every system, including the low end and mid range systems).

My suggestions are to rule out the OP is setting their graphics settings beyond what MSFS 2024 is capable of performing normally on the OP's system.

That is bad. But then again somehow many with similar specs don't have this issue. Main thread limited means it not your GPU. So than there is something between storage (can't be the issue as you have SSD's) and the CPU which is a bottle neck. It's also not internet/server because everything is loaded in already. So all scenery has arrived. 

I assume the following obvious items are in order, but just to check; 

• Is the Ram installed in the right slots (in case it is only 2 sticks) 
• XMP enables?
• CPU cooling in order? if it is later in the flight the CPU temp might be saturated and than performance is degrading. 
• Process usage 
  • there aren't any other processes running taking away capacity for MSFS?

Who made this kind of statements here? I did not see someone saying that this is his or her requirement or expectations.

I recon what you intend to do here. But you SEEM to assume that if someone complains that his or her settings are to high and need to test. 

Top tear hardware is NOT able to run MSFS smoothly in to many cases, not even with medium to low settings. 

Some users are not able to do anything about their findings. 

That's because the servers or components between MS and users are struggling.

Read my original suggestion. My suggestion was for the OP to lower the graphics settings and test from there.

Then you said it's not tne job of the user to test, you blamed Asobo and said it was their job to test. How does your reply to me help anything? Your reply seemed so bitter, like you are angry at Asobo and taking your anger out on others trying to help. And then I replied that MSFS 2024 isn't developed so that every hardware system should be able to run MSFS 2024 at 4K  and Ultra.

I get the feeling that you are angry yourself a Asobo,  so you are taking your anger out on other people, even people like me who are just providing suggestions to help solve a problem. Go take your anger out at Asobo at the official MSFS forums, rather than directing it at people trying to help.

I am not anger, bitter or something like that. 

But this discussion is derailed so I retract. 

 Im running  two years old i9-13900, RTX4090, 64 RAM, everything set Ultra (except shadow), Everything is runs smooth as butter, no stutter whatsoever!

P.S. My internet is fiber 500mpbs

Same but even older. Asobo have nothing to apologise to me for. I thank them unreservedly for what I've got in 2024. I wish I could sit in front of some of these PC's with issues for five minutes and try and see what the problem is. They are obviously very real issues but I would love to be able to dig deeper or just see it for myself.  

Keep this conversation alive folks. All the suggestions that have been mentioned,  already tried. I have tried a very large cache of 200 and no luck..

And when it comes to graphic settings, my settings are lower for testing purposes than what most folks are streaming videos of FS24 on Twitch or YouTube with similar specs and have no issues.

With my system specs on my signature, I shouldn't have to set my graphic settings to low and medium settings. Also all shadow settings are set to the lowest value and have airport traffic set to off and fauna.

If you are 100% sure it's not hardware and graphics settings related, and you are 100% sure it's not add-on related, you can try a VPN.  A VPN can change the route that you connect to the MSFS servers.  Just pick a sensible VPN location that is close to your location, if you are testing against the same MSFS server that you typically connect to.  Unfortunately, most decent VPN services will require a subscription - hence I wouldn't suggest using a VPN until you are 100% sure it's not hardware and graphics settings related, and you are 100% sure it's not add-on related (but if you are already subscribed to a VPN service, then you can try it for free).

FYI, there was an Internet outage yesterday and make sure that Internet outage didn't affect you: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/12/tech/internet-outage-spotify-discord-cloudflare-google

Have you tried lowering your bandwidth setting to 40mbit for instance. 

I het more stutters with 100mbit although I have a higher bandwidth then that, but reducing this in game setting to 40mbit works to reduce stutters 

As far as I am aware, rolling cache is disabled in MSFS 2020 on my PC, and I hardly ever experience stutters. I appreciate that I am only running MSFS 2020 @ 1080p resolution, but then I am also running it on a PC from yesteryear. Is the rolling cache in MSFS 2024 required because of the "stream everything" format, or is it something else?

I’ve always had my doubts as to the robustness of their backend systems and bandwidth. 2020 has had online\server related outages and general issues for its entire history – so it seems unlikely and foolish to expect 2024 not to have.

It frustrates me that instead of fixing core issues they keep releasing new planes and other such updates – 2024 is definitely heading down the same flight path as 2020 – just with added Rocks.

Those aircraft are not made by Asobo, so they’re not taking dev time away from the sim. Same with the POIs and airports in world updates, those are all made by third parties.

and the rest of your statement is equally bull. They’ve released a ton of fixes since launch.

They're not even working on new features right now. The next couple sim updates are solely focused on fixes

Not exhaustive testing on my part, but I had noticed the last few days that I was getting more stuttering and tearing than I remembered. Checked my graphics settings and switched anti-aliasing from nvidia DLSS to TAA and all is fine now. Running 4k / ultra with a 3090ti on a ryzen as per my sig. Haven't changed my cache settings, still using 16gb, and have never manually reset it. 

None of this may be relevant, but just thought I'd throw it in. 

I have a spreadsheet tab with all my settings on it, I'd be happy to upload it if anybody wants it. I'd probably need a day or two to check / update it though so won't be instant.
