Well, after about 20 sessions in SU3 using the addon helicopters, gliders and the default A32N and 333 by Inibuilds, with real weather and BATC + FSLTL 1024, no stutters, actually I have the impression that FS 2024 SU3 is smooth as silk.

LOD = TLOD = 75 in my settings.

Photogrammetry = OFF

I also use RealTurb and "Legacy Weight & Balance" by GotFriends.

No addon sceneries - just default!

One of these days will test default ATC and AI Traffic because those were causing stutters pre SU3-final.

FS 2024 continues, step by step, towards the deserved classification of "My Best Sim EVER! "

Is it me or is SU 3 somewhat of a disappointment?  

It is definately improved regarding performance on landing but it's far from perfect.

The panning stutters are still there.

Interesting thing I noticed is the difference in performance of an airport when departing and arriving.

In my case, Fenix, Inibuilds EGLL in 4K with high settings, I can maintain my FG max of 60FPS while departing but on arrival I struggle to hit 50FPS, same settings, same session, (this results in bad stuttering, as my real framerate has dropped below 30FPS).

This is not ideal but I will have to stay away from Heathrow until it's fixed.

It's even worse with the default Gaya EGLL!

Turn off PG and turn on Dynamic Settings.  Look ma, no sttuters.

This results in blurry textures for me. Not a great solution.

That TLOD is really low.

If I go that low, the runway is blurred not too far ahead of me, which is unbearable.

Yeah, that's the problem with turning Dynamic Settings on.  If your target FPS is too high for the hardware you are using, MSFS 2024 will degrade the graphics, including making the textures blurry.

This people continue to say that FS2024 performance is OK... it's not! With such low settings it looks far worse than MSFS at Ultra settings with PG and it's not stutter free anyway. Even people with 5090 and very high-end PCs have stutters:

My eyes see everything blurred anyway 😎

Age makes gals and sims all look a LOT better...

You get an idea of the shape, and that's Great! I just have to be careful because nowadays some guys use skirts, and long hair by their waste...😜

Fuzzy, I honestly say FS 2024 is far smoother / stutter free, even with the added amount of detail in scenery, than MSFS was in this very same rig, with a "basic" 3060 Ti 8GB, and my dear 5600x

Even smoother and more stutter free than X-Plane 12, both limited to run at 30 fps through RTSS.

It's probably my settings, which are far from HIGH / ULTRA except in some cases, like avionics refresh rate.

Yet !!! during the SU3 beta I tested default ATC and Default AI Traffic, and the only occasions I experienced stutters in FS 2024 were with AI Traffic enabled !

When I switched back to BATC + FSLTL @ 1024, stutters were gone.

Waiting and reading before I launch it and therefore catch the update. 

Seriously though you are ALWAYS going to see a FPS drop between cruise and landing at a payware airport. No amount of SU's will change the fn obvious.

Indeed you are but it's the severity of those drops that's the main concern here, something Asobo clearly still need to work on.

MSFS2024 implemented aggressive out-of-view LODs which make the sim perform significantly better (up to 50%!) for everybody. Of course this comes with the side effect of loading when changing the view angle drastically (-> panning 360 degrees).

Well you can‘t have it all, no stutters while panning around 360 degrees *and* high FPS.
I prefer the latter, because the angle of panning when in the cockpit is max. 60 degrees to each side. So I rarely have stutters and yet 60 FPS on ultra at heavy payware airports with full BATC traffic. I think they did very well with the LODs in MSFS2024 overall.

Yeah, that's not the case here.

Not sure if you're saying you did remove all addons, or you didn't remove all addons? 

If you haven't, give it a shot. If you have and this still keeps happening.. well, wait in hope for a fix eventually 🙂

I have the idea that there is a S-curve of diminishing returns with regards to hardware and performance. 

So 4 year old hardware is still doing just fine at a lowered setting. But the latest hardware doesn't provide a linearly amount of improvement, preventing ability to set everything on ultra. 

 

 

Alright so doing a 9.5hr A332 flight and everything is going well.  They improved the sounds heaps and the aircraft sounds very nice.  The FMGC SID/STAR bug has been fixed hopefully aswell.  The sim itself runs very smooth now well done!

I've actually had very good luck with dynamic settings on.  It wasn't always this way for me.  But since the last couple beta updates it's been very good for performance and quality.
