Still going to try and see.

Its a pain cause you only find out art the end of the flight. Makes it impossible to land.

I am on 2024 and it was great for a long time. Then BOOM.

 

Deleting the app did nothing.

So frustrating and a monumental waste of time

So I have had two successful flights since I did the following:

• Updated nvidia Drivers to the latest figuring it certainly couldn't hurt at this point
• Deleted nvidia Shaders
• Deleted everything in my temp directory (had a bunch of worthless junk and garbage)
• Deleted my rolling cache and left it disabled
• updated everything in Content manager that had an available update

 

Two succesful flights thus far.  Fingers crossed but they are my first two successful flights since the issue began.

How did you delete the rolling cache. Does not seems possible or are you in 2020

2020 but in 24 just set it to 0 Apply and Save then reset it to your normal size and location...  That will reset it in '24

I was having the exact same experience as you and just completed a 12+ hour flight and the landing was perfect.

Ended up changing my video card from my 4070ti to a 5070ti. I was running in 4k

The landing stutter-fest stopped.

Hopefully it does not not come back.

 

Still think MSFS changed something that makes this happen.

I did not have this problem before with the same setup.

This started about 3 to 4 weeks ago after one of the updates.

This is actually the experience i have in FS2024. Along with many others that reported it during beta.

What could MSFS cause that would result in your GPU being swapped resolving it?  

I mean if swapping the GPU resolved the issue it seems like a pretty clear indicator something was going on with the GPU... 

 

I use AutoFPS with the automatic setting and my MSFS is stutter free at ultra settings in any condition or location, even with FSLTL.

GPU tested. Plus it s only on approach and landing. Heck its only when landing. Seems obvious {maybe not obvious} to me that MSFS changed the way things are generated on landing.

New gpu is faster with more ram. Maybe the extra ram helps. I really don't know. My old card was plenty good enough but I had it after 3 weeks of wasting my time.

Hello,

your post confirms that we need a RTX 5080 at least to run MSFS2024 in good conditions, without any limitation (i.e. liners and big airports). Having a "poor" RTX 4060 TI (8Gb), some flights may be very good (my settings are mostly at low level, with an extra, clouds on ultra), I get around 90-100 FPS with frame generation. But sometimes, as the author of this thread is experimenting, landings are very stuttery. I never know how my flight will end : quite annoying isnt'it ?!That's why I plan to buy a 5080 before the end of the year. I have no such limitations with MSFS2020, with most settings on high. Of course, I'm using AutoFPS too. What a marvelous app !

MSFS2020  here, no stutterfest at landing not even on bigger Airports, 2020 is just OK for me..

cheers 😉

I spoke of MSFS 2024. Same comment as above : you have a RTX 4090, the "must" of GPUs 6 months ago !

I'm starting to see a disturbing pattern here...the most critical nit picky users with the whole "MSFS terrain has been downgraded/ object pop in/ landing stutter" issues lately are on anemic lower end hardware.

You are wondering why you get extreme object pop in and landing stutter on a laptop mobile version 8GB GPU combo???  

You are obviously trying to run graphics settings/sliders your hardware isn't capable of handing.

It's 2025... it's been proven due to the nature of MSFS rendering/streaming tech it can be a bipolar wildcard of 18GB+ or higher VRAM demands. Even on what you assume and consider lower end visual settings.

For best results and performance the safest route is going to be a 24GB GPU with MSFS/2020 in 2025. 

16GB isn't even cutting it in scenarios trying to run 2D 4K or VR resolutions, let alone certain high fidelity aircraft combined with certain complex resource hungry scenery addons.

The optimization of the sim has improved a ton, but we still are not quite there yet.

More hardware firepower has and will always be the buffer between when it comes to masking core sim performance issues and giving you an overall better experience where the issues become less apparent!

If my 6GB GTX 980Ti can run MSFS 2020 at high detail settings without stutters on final approach at major airports (and with TLOD/OLOD fixed @ 250/200 respectively), then a 16GB card should be able to handle at least 2K without any problems at all.
