Looks like the update will be next Tuesday per their discord.

Just did 14 hours with the plane and had no problems. Step climbs worked perfectly. Sim responded well to everything. No CTDs, no freezing... it worked fine. This is coming from a Boeing guy. Is it my favorite aircraft? No... not personally, but it seemed to work well. I do wish the price was slightly lower, but I'm overall happy with the product.

I have similar specs as the OP and I did my maiden flight today and didn't see "horrible" performance. In fact, I'm running a 13900k and not a 14900k. Mostly was getting 100+ FPS with 4K and settings high/ultra. There were some occasional dips down into the 80s, but nothing horrible at all. Is it the most frame friendly aircraft I have? Absolutely not, but it's not bad by any stretch. I want to note I am a PMDG fan and don't live and die by the inibuilds products... so I'm giving as unbiased of an opinion as I can here.

This is exactly how I imagine you when you replied with that haha

Of course - but he didn't specify one sim vs. the other - so I was under the impression he was referring to 2020. We don't have a lot of things in 2024 yet - so it's hard to be disappointed about something missing at this point haha.

Except we already do have a modern freighter in the sim... 777F.

I stopped watching after seeing a completely stock sim, with no addons, external view gauges, and a camera that wouldn't stopping panning for two seconds for me to see critical items that have previously plagued DLSS. We need some reputable simmers... not some benchmark group that doesn't have a clue what they're doing.

4 pages and only two people have replied back with, “wow, that helped” or “hey, that didn’t help me”. This thread wasn’t meant to start an argument over GSYNC, what the eye can or can’t see, or studies done on refresh rates. It’s literally a couple clicks to try this back and maybe another minute or so to report your findings. At the end of the day I made it pretty clear this wasn’t a magic fix, but just something I noticed to help folks.

Yep, I'm aware. That's why I said I hope they RECONSIDER their choice to go exclusive with 2024.

Bought it and loving it so far. I've been wanting some cargo ops. I'm still secretly hoping PMDG will reconsider making the 744 exclusive to 2024. Just me though.

Sorry everyone for my delay with replying. Came down with a nasty head cold last night that has kept me in bed most of the morning. I'm just now getting around to reading everything. To clarify a couple of my things. I'm currently using an LG C2 42" which has GSYNC; however, with 2020 I found that I was having more issues with it on than not. Others have also asked about why I'm running at 117fps, which one user pointed out (and was correct!) that I'm running it at 117 fps because the monitor is a 120Hz and I would have screen tearing until I lowered it a few fps - hence why I've set it at 117. Admittedly, I haven't turned GSYNC on with 2024 because after this, I really see no need. Back to my original video and "find". I've read several users say that turning on the 50% refresh rate simply cuts your fps in half. Rivatuner would disagree and I feel confident I can tell the difference between 117 and 58 fps. To be perfectly honest, I'm not even worried about the fps and this video wasn't making a point to show off FPS improvement. It was instead meant to show how their dev FPS counter shows that I'm limited by the main thread and a constant red box based on the variables it's receiving from the sim - which funny enough, was the same time I received these micro-stutters and the overall feel of the sim felt less smooth. I also want to point out that one thing I found was that when reducing the refresh rate of the monitor even lower to 33%, the counter goes back to red - you'd think it would remain green by the simple fact that I'm lowering it even further. With all of that said - this was just something I ran across when comparing systems with a friend and saw the change. There's no serious manipulation here and it's a pretty simple thing to test. I'd encourage anyone who is running a setup like mine with a 4090 and 13900k to see if you have any improvement. Whether your on GSYNC or not, maybe try it as well and see what your results are. I'd love to hear back from anyone that has given it a try and it looks like one person has seen the same benefits as posted on here.

In the nvidia control panel I had the sim locked at 117 fps (keeping it under my monitor refresh rate). Within the sim however, I adjusted the monitor refresh rate to 50%.

You're absolutely right! My frustration was that my buddy was getting a smoother experience than me, even though he had his fps locked at 80 and mine were locked at 117fps. When I changed that monitor refresh rate to 50% however, the smoothness was improved considerably... the fps were the same, but the smoothness was better which is what I'm comparing the "red" and "green" to and maybe with the 50% monitor refresh rate selected, that's helping improve those stutters for me.

*I'm not claiming this is a super fix - just trying to see if anyone else sees the same improvement. So this one threw me off and I'll preface this by saying that I'm still not sold on 2024, but this changed my experience considerably and I'm trying to determine if I'm misunderstanding something or it's a bug. A good friend of mine has a very similar hardware setup and I couldn't figure out why I would see micro-stutters and the overall smoothness of the sim didn't match his setup. I went through all of the settings and we were nearly identical except one thing. In his sim under the graphics settings, he had monitor refresh rate set for 50% while mine was set at 100%. Oddly enough, I couldn't change this value and didn't think anything of it since I had my Nvidia control panel limiting the sim to 117fps anyways. I pulled up the dev console and turned on the fps counter and noticed I was limited by main thread like him, but mine was in the "red" and his was a steady green. I also noticed in my sim, I couldn't change the monitor refresh rate setting and it was simply grayed out. I found out though by turning off frame generation this option would become available to me and I could adjust it down to 50% - and just like that, performance instantly improved, micro stutters gone, and now I have the green window. I went back into the settings and turned off frame generation again and turned it back to 100%, turned frame generation back on and it was back to red again. Even weirder, if I dropped the monitor refresh rate to 33% as the lowest option, it reverted back to red again. If that didn't make any sense, here's the simple solution, TLDR: (Defaults to 100%) Frame Gen Off > Change Monitor Refresh Rate to 50% > Turn frame gen back on - Debug FPS console is now green Frame Gen Off > Change Monitor Refresh Rate to 100% > Turn frame gen back on - Debug FPS console is now red Frame Gen Off > Change Monitor Refresh Rate to 33% > Turn frame gen back on - Debug FPS console is now red So I'm not sure why this is and why changing it to 50% improved my performance when my fps are the same. Either way, I made a short video showing this. You can't see the same micro-stutters in this video very well, but I could visualize them very well when that counter was in the red. Transitioning views is when it was the most obvious. Curious if anyone else with similar hardware who has had performance issues can test this?

Everyone has been civil and this thread is extremely tame - so not sure why you felt the need to post this. People are allowed to vent and debate.
