Ok my fellow aviators. I have been having great performance until the last patch. I was even impressed at how smooth it was. I have two computers. One with a I7 8086K at 5ghz with a 3080TI and another with a 7800x3d at 5ghz with a 4070. Both ran ms2024 well prior to the patch. I found the problem on my first flight after the patch going from KGPT to KMGM. Frames were horrible at the gate and it started pulsing quickly as I taxied. You get off the ground and away from the airport and the frames shoot from 30 to 80 at 100ft. It only happens at default airports unless in a career mode flight. Crazy because the performance is severely worst that 2020. I found two others with this issue and I told one that the network activity is pulsing when you check the task manager. The speed will not go above 100kb, but pulses between 100kb and 8kb. My speed is 2100 up and down. So I told one of the others with this issue and he said he is butter smooth at a locally installed airport. But the weird thing is that it's fine and pulls at higher stream speeds in career mode. Has anyone else seen this? On another note, I have only flown 2024 since it's release and now have a reason to go fly that 777F in 2020 now.

Have you tried rebooting your PC since updating? 

I initially experienced the same thing. I rebooted my PC and now I'm get the same if not better performance.

After reading all the negative reviews, I found that after I actually tried it for myself, I 100% agree!

Having things pop in reminds me of the horrible FSX engine. I have recently installed a new 4TB SSD. Ultra fast and relatively cheap. I was expecting to use of that for an optimized perf sim. Not to be.

I am therefore getting a refund. I would not be buying back into this until, at a minimum:

-The architecture is reverted to FS2020 style and there is an offline mode

-The Horrible GPU / CPU utilisation is Fixed

-There is a way to edit controller and keyboard mappings in a Text file

-There should be a feature to select tiles on a world map and let it download the data into the local cache

Don't let the door hit you on the way out...

For those of you with DOF motion platforms I just discovered that SRS now has a beta version out that supports FS2024. I'm looking forward to trying it out but won't get a chance until tomorrow. Happy flying!

I am assuming you are making that suggestion because you have not read the entire thread (which, I can understand...it is lengthy). That said, yes, I have stressed test my system plenty. I have a long history of custom building PC's , so stress testing is something I do regularly, sometimes just for fun. Besides all that, as I covered earlier in the thread, in order to rule out hardware, I completely changed out my CPU, motherboard, RAM and GPU as I have plenty of spare parts available. It made no difference. Hardware is not the cause of my CTD's which specifically started with SU13. 

Well I'm glad that you were able to rule out it being a hardware issue. It does seem to be a perplexing issue that is affecting some users but not others. Hopefully you'll be able to track it down soon.

Okay, another update. Turns out this was NOT a solution for my CTD's, which I say once again, ONLY started with SU13. I managed only three successful flights with the Offline AI Aircraft turned off. Fourth flight, same CTD, same Event Viewer error code. I am fast running out of options. I am now testing the lowering of my NIC bandwidth, as some of you have suggested worked for you, even though I abhor the idea of suddenly having to lower my data speed just because MSFS, after three years of being released, decides it doesn't want to work with high-speed data service. IF this turns out to be a work around, it does NOT give me a lot of confidence that the upcoming MSFS 2024 that is supposed to rely on more streaming and cloud service is going to pan out well. But I digress. Back to MSFS 2020 and my current CTD SU13 issue. I have a grand total of ONE successful flight running at 100Mbps, half duplex on my NIC. That was last night. Just having time today to try and get some more attempts in, so let's see what happens. More to follow. 

 

Have you run a stress test on your hardware? It's easy enough to do and that way you can rule it out and move on the other possible solutions.

but what I still find surprising is that after 8 pages of people stating these CTD's have either started or gotten worse post SU13 there are still comments by others offering nothing useful whatsoever and just stating that "it must be your hardware" or "Well I haven't had a CTD in years"

That is really helping everyone !

Nothing useful? I disagree. It's pointing out the fact that there appears to be something else here at play apart from the SU being a direct cause of msfs crashes.

As there are so many variables that can cause issues with MSFS the first thing I would do stress test your computer with appropriate software for a few hours to rule it out as being the cause. My system is similar to yours and I haven't had any issues with crashes.

This is such a dumb analogy. Live weather is part of MSFS and it’s their responsibility to maintain it and coordinate with the vendor providing it when issues arise. 

I don't think it is. I think it's safe to say that MS/Asobo reaches out to their weather provider when there is an issue.

The flight sim that I bought is not working like it should, should I know where, what or who is causing it? I want my service back, please don't hijack this thread, thanks.

If you go into a grocery store to buy something but their debit machine is down because of a bank problem do you blame the grocery store for that?

This announcement is on FSLTL Discord though:

 

I can confirm it is injecting traffic

FR24 free API has been taken offline by them as of today.

Ouch! I wonder why that happened.

Is this out already ?

I have the Simmarket version…

I can confirm there is a newer version. I purchased it through FT directly.

Sold , thanks.

I see you're in Canada so it's probably a different system to me here in the UK but did you have to pay import duty ? I believe they're sent from Ukraine ? 

Hi Jon

                I thought I was going to have to pay duty on it but surprisingly I didn't YMMV. However I did pay sales tax and the shipping cost to Canada was steep costing me $800CND. The platform comes unassembled in two boxes weighing a combined 70Kg. and was shipped from Poland. Hope this helps

I've had the DOF Reality H3 motion platform now for a few months and use it in VR. The motion cues it provides greatly adds to the illusion of flight and for me was almost as big a step as going from flat screens to VR. The prices for these sorts of platforms has dropped dramatically over the last couple of years but it's still  certainly not cheap. But the combination puts you as close to actually being in a cockpit as I think is possible.

The site is getting hammered. I can't even get the product page to load

Edit: Got in. Purchase and download went smoothly and was fast

I very much like their CYYZ airport and I'm interested in seeing how this one turns out.

I can't think of ANY for profit company being happy breaking even on an ongoing basis, not one company comes to mind.

So you think that if the developers of BATC sold it, for lets say $30 that they would be only breaking even and not making any profit?

Lets look at today's capitalistic world. Only one statement can be correct, either they are going to make money off of these voice credits or they aren't. What do you believe? I think you'll find more individuals in my camp than in the other.

Only one of us are right, but I don't think that kind of poll would go over very well.

So you believe that they would not be happy enough just making money off selling the product but would also add additional profit in marking up the price of the voices packages they offer?

Simple, it's an untrue statement and untrue statements cloud the truth, hence making things confusing. 

I'm curious as to what makes you believe it's an untrue statement?

My update went smoothly and quickly, including 10 items that needed updating in Content Manager. However I preformed the update as soon as it was available. Seems the servers are getting hammered now causing issues.

See further back in this thread. It's not available until this evening MTZ

No, I refer to all the Nvidia install problems I've read about in the last 10 years that have been solved by first running DDU.

So then referring back to my first question you don't think Geforce experience itself has any issues with installing video drivers correctly?

58 minutes ago, Ixoye said:

There is a reason Clean install and DDU exist you know, Nvidia driver issues must be one of the most common problems people have on gaming computers.

I assume you're suggesting that Gameforce Experience is not installing Nvidia drivers properly?
