Microsoft Flight Simlator stuttering

Андрій Ніколаєнко · Dec 1, 2023

recently i noticed that my game is stuttering a lot so i decided to find out why. I was baffled by what i've seen, it caused by 2 reasons:

1) electronic devises in the cabin
2) posteffects (air currents on plane's wings)
When i take civil plane my fps is higher than military aircrafts one, then i turn all avionics(devices that has special animated screen) off and it's double up.
The question is what can i do?

I have been playing some more as well...I've also been keeping my eyes on the benchmark test (MSI Afterburner Overlay). Both my CPU and GPU average around 70-75 degrees celsius (don't think those temps are anything to worry about on a graphically intensive
game) and the FPS averages around 70ish when the game isn't stuttering...and this is on the High-End settings on my RTX 2070 8GB, i7 9700KF, and 16GB RAM.

Game often seems to stutter on the prologue before a training mission (you know that screen where it shows you your plane and prompts you to press to start the mission...that screen). At the very start of a training mission it will stutter for a bit then
it will promptly go back to normal. I am pleased to say I've enjoyed a few training flights mostly stutter free except for one or 2 mid-flight incidents like the one in the video I put in my original post...the rest have mostly been on the prologue screen/very
start of each mission.

Whenever it does stutter I notice the CPU suddenly goes up to 100% usage...when the stutter ends it goes back down. So whatever is causing the stutter sounds to me like some sort of rogue process/memory leak maybe? Idk...whatever is causing it is a sudden
spike in CPU usage anyway.

I hope they fix it with an update.

Microsoft Flight isn't Microsoft Flight Simulator. Different game and it's not as demanding as your think. Most PCs/Laptops should be able to run it.

Microsoft Flight is the latest installment to the flight genre though.

As all of these games rely extensively on online features, especially flight simulator which constantly streams map data, that would be the first place I'd look. Stuttering as you describe often is the result of lag or bandwidth issues

Turn off data on MSFS and see what happens.
