    Hi all, hoping some of my fellow flight simmers can give me some advice as to where I am going wrong. 

    I am completely confused and have tried so many things I have lost count. 

    I thought I had a decent set up, but now I am starting to wonder. 

    My system is as follows:-

    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700K CPU @ 3.80GHz

    Geforce RTX 3090Ti

    32Gb Ram

    But I am struggling to get above 20 FPS, and anywhere built up I am as low as 8 FPS, even though my CPU and GPU are both only running at around 30% (although I do notice sometimes there may be one or two cpu cores running higher than the rest). As flying Helicopters is my preference, especially in VR, I simply cannot fly it with such low frame rates. 

    I do have a fair few addons such as traffic via FSLTL, REX Weather Force, and I try to use FSHud for my ATC, but even without them running, I am getting these awful frame rates. At one time I was getting OK, but never great frame rates, but since the last couple patches, I seem to be getting worse frame rates than people with 1080Ti cards. 

    Any one got any ideas? is my CPU not up too scratch?  I am so confused, and just want to fly...

    Hoping someone out there can get back up in my Helicopters. 

    Kind regards

    Rob

     

    Sir you have a much more powerful system than I have. However, I can fly around my Sim with hardly any Sutters at all. I really try not to judge my flight sim on frame rates, but more on smoothness arriving at whatever airport or scenery I'm flying I'm for visual effects. You probaly just need to adjust your settings to get smoothness and great vsual effects flying around. I've adjusted my setting to this guy's advice and very happy with the results. you can give it a try and see what you think. (*DETAILED SETTINGS GUIDE!* ► GRAPHICS + PERFORMANCE ► SIM UPDATE 11 ► MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR! - YouTube). I can fly my Fenix Arbus or HPG Helos now to any pay ware airport or scenery without stutters or my sim becoming a slide show.

    I got the update no problem however the Sim doesn't seem to be connected to the internet.  My Live weather is greyed out and some of the cities look like they have generic buildings whereas before they were quite detailed.

    Yes, my connection dropped also. For some reason the data connection selection got turned off in the options menu. Never could figure out how it happened, because it was connected to the internet when I downloaded the SU11 update.

    Just wondering if anyone experiencing problems turning on live weather after update. After the last SU11 update when I go to weather menu, Live Weather is turned off, when I try to turn back on, the switch pops back to off position. I can load the presets but when I choose live weather it pops back to off. Any help or suggestions is much appreciated. Also when I close the sim using the back to desktop feature, It just hangs on the quit simulator screen.

    Captains,
    Some of you are probably surprised to see the "C-130 Captain Exterior" package released without a flyable virtual cockpit.

    There's no mistake, we believe the product name (Exterior) and the description are clear enough: No virtual cockpit, exterior model only.

    Are we going to release a working cockpit in the future?
    We don't know.

    For now, all we know is that the $14.99 price tag on the "C-130 Captain Exterior" does not include any cockpit related promises or upgrades.

    Happened twice now, start a flight just before it loads in "Your bandwidth is too low, you have been switched to offline mode".  I'm on a wired 200GB connection and my speeds are just fine...

    Is this a bug?

    Thanks

    Have you installed the App goggle maps? That's the most likely reason you're getting that message. You need to make it reset back to MSFS default internet connection server.

    I keep getting a message about the bandwidth being too low - OOKLA says it is more than 400Mb/sec 

    Why does this message occur?

    Why does the message stall Flight Sim for 10 to 30-seconds when the mouse icon disappears from the screen and clicking on the message or anywhere else does nothing?  During that time CPU & GPU usage drops below 10%.

    Problem started today, August 13.  Does it have anything to do with Microsoft Windows Update 21H, which I installed this morning?

    I would be curious too about how it handles after a long 6 hour flight and then landing at a fairly populated airport. I think it will still suffer the same problems with low FPS as do many other powerful CPU's. But FS2020 should not be that CPU bound like the earlier editions of FS. I'm satisfied with my setup for the time being until something arrives that going to make me retire it and build a new on.

    update...

    Gave up, completely reinstalled windows 10, and it worked must of been something on the C dive that was causing an issue.

    Most likely your problem was you installed the Google map replacement in the past and when you stopped using it, it didnt put back the correct content server address that FS is looking for on start up. Which causes it to crash or lock up.

    I loaded Google Map Enhancement and told it to use Bing (latest) and the sim now works perfectly with all the mods I normally use. 

    I then told Google Map to go back to Bing and the sim again runs perfectly.

    I did see a message fly across the screen when I first loaded Google Map Enhancements (today to test things) that Port 404 (440?) was in use and "??? it went by to fast" would not work properly.

    Thanks for reminding me about Google Map - I had not used it for the last month and had forgotten it was even installed.  I do have the latest version.

    Glad you got things figured out and your Sim going again.

    NO google maps addon

    The sim seems to hang while trying to load a bunch of Mixed Reality files.  I do have HP Reverb G2 but it is turned off and I have not used it for several weeks (dozens of sim sessions)

    What could I have done make it want to load MXR stuff?

    Have you ever in the past installed the google maps addon? If so you must change a file that it uses, if not it will cause MSFS to stall on loading or CTD for no reason. That's why I ask.

    The sim was running perfectly yesterday (March 31) afternoon and it shut down gracefully.

    Today when I try to start it I get to the World Map - fill in the details of the route, and click on FLY - after the blue load progress bar moves 60% of the way from left to right I see a message in Task Manager that flightsimulator.exe is "not Responding"

    I worked thru the normal sequence of debugging:
    - turn off all security
    - empty community folder
    - empty content.xml
    - turn off FSUIPC

    and it still hung at 60% load after FLY

    I then told the sim to start in SAFE MODE and it still hangs at 60% load after clicking on FLY

    I made no changes to the sim between yesterday and today and as far as I can tell the sim did not load any updates.  I have not changed any drivers or hardware.

    What do I do next?

    Win 10 / Steam both as current as possible

     

    Have you installed the Goggle Maps addon?

    Whilst these huge updates continue I’m not inclined to buy MSFS. And when I do I’ll only use it fir low-level VFR sightseeing. That’s where it really shines over P3D.

    I continue to contribute to Concorde topics where I can. But you’ll be the real expert Mark and if you do make a video I’m sure it will be immensely helpful to other Concorde pilots

    With this amount of discussion pre-release it’s going to be an interesting time.

    I wonder how many will fly supersonic over land with a borderline download speed and never see the ground as it hasn’t had time to generate. 😁

    I really enjoying MSFS in the freeware and pay ware Helos where I can enjoy the low and slow that the sim really shines on. Can't see going super sonic over the sweat and time I put in over the ground scenery I've installed. I may consider for PD3 OR FSX.

    This morning, everything ran just fine. Installed Fs2Crew for MSFS. Started sim, CTD. Ok. Uninstalled program. No good. Emptied community folder. No good. Unplugged all controllers, no good. Shut down PC, restart,  No good. When starting sim,no longer get start screen for FSUIPC. Blue status bar at bottom of screen gets half way done, stops, waits short while, and then right to desktop. No error messages or anything.  No Clue.

    Have you ever installed the Google map replacement addon? If so that's what  could be causing your issues. You have to go to your system32 file folder nd remove 2 internet server file entries.

    Hope this helps

    Hi Roy. I'm glad you got MSFS up and running again but I can't help but think it may be something else that was causing your issue. I've been using the Google replacement map add-on for about a month now and while I usually use it sometimes I don't and MSFS still runs fine without it.

    Mark

     

     

    Google maps makes a entry in the system32 drivers folder, when you shut down google maps, it should remove those entries so the next time you restart FS it will load without issues. If it don't remove those entries FS is looking for Asorbo servers to load content but it cant find the servers to link to because google maps change where to look. And it just stops or CTD. Glad Roy got his sim running again. I spent almost a week troubleshooting why my sim stopped loading or would CTD at certain point.

    I selected my departure from the World Menu.  Clicked Fly.  Blue line gets about 3/4 across then slows to a crawl.  After ten minutes reaches one inch from the screen side.  Then nothing. Came back after an hour or so and it still was stopped.

    Esc key or mouse doesn't do anything. Have to use Task Manager to close.  Tried a Discovery flight over the pyramids.  Same thing. Wouldn't complete the loading.

    So I uninstalled sim, then reinstalled.  After four hours of installation, I tried again.  Same thing.  Plus my Community Folder is now empty and 63 files are uninstalled in the Content Manager.

    Tried to install the US World Update in the Content Manager, thinking that might help.   It locked up after a few minutes saying PENDING. 

    If anyone can help me on this I would appreciate it.  I can no longer use the sim.

    Thank you,

    Roy
