.................but in another thread you said, effectively, this was God's gift to flight simulation. By any metric, this has been an abortion from the outset.

With a 5090 and 16gb VRAM you shouldn't have to back off anything. I'd suggest there's something in your machine that's causing the problem.

This event has only happened (to me) in the past 24-48 hrs (during which there's was a MSFS update last evening when I entered the sim). My FPS 'test' is the PMDG 737-800 on 27R at LHR, clear skies, no AI traffic etc in Full Screen and with my 4080 Super I get around 85 fps. At my home airport in the Cessna 172 this goes up to around 125 fps. Since yesterday evening, and I've not touched any graphics settings at all, in Full Screen no matter where I go or in what, I'm getting locked at 75 fps at LHR and ditto at home airport. However, if I go to Windowed mode the higher frame rates as described are restored. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, what was the cause and cure? Many thanks.

After the MSFS2020 debacle I held off on buying it for probably 9 months until it settled down and I now have a rock-solid sim. 'If you don't learn from history you are forced to re-live it' goes the old saying (or something like it). I sat back and watched MSFS2024 arrive knowing full well it would be no better than 2020's. I wasn't disappointed. Upstairs I have a voucher ready to purchase MSFS2024 that my darling daughters bought me for Christmas. I have been sitting, waiting and might go for it pending the reviews and assessments of Sim Update 2. I still suggest that the streaming model is the Achilles heel of this sim for so many without a decent internet feed (which I don't have). If MS offered 'hard' data I would probably buy it tomorrow. Meanwhile, I sit and wait.

Just put v1.06 in my 'test' position: LHR 27R around midday inibuilds LHR 75fps (on a 4080 super)- no better, no worst than the PMDG 737.

As a native English speaker for more decades than I care to think, what the hell is 'flighting'? It sounds like a nothing-term from a pretty nothing-less organisation as things stand. If asobo is involved in anything important to real life, run a mile.

The Dash-8 100,200 and 300 would be very welcome. There are still a lot in service; more than many types recently added to MSFS.

I recall that this was a complaint in the early days of MSFS20 that Asobo addressed in one of their updates which did, in fact, cure it. It would seem to be back; a punishment to the '2024' heretics. My log-in through the 'Checking for Updates' page is at minimum 4-5 times longer (now up to 5 minutes) than it was pre '24'.

if recall, this was a problem dating back a long, long time. It's a classic photography problem eg your subject is in the shade of a tree; you expose for that by opening up the aperture for the 'dark' area but this also overexposes the background. In this case substitute subject with flightdeck and background for external world. There is a happy medium somewhere but it would appear to have gone missing because this was pretty much resolved.

Now you're talking...........the unseen and unquestioned Asobo/MS agenda.

Stick with it - it is taking at least 5 mins to get through this section of the loading. Until this candy-floss 2024 came along it was (for me) 45 sec at most. MS and ASOBO are lying crooks - so much for 'backward' compatibility (or forward, depending upon how you look at) of the 2 versions. I'm amazed that developers haven't launched a law suit for breach of promise.

'If they start that cynical and utterly vile tactic, I'll be out of MSFS completely.' In my opinion the entire MS2024 project has been a cynical money-driven project that will cost MS and Asobo dear.

I tried to download a world update yesterday: 1 MBit/s on a 3.25GB download from the NW Europe server. Of course there's no throttling, LOL. These people are jokers laughing all the way to their banks.

Can we start one to get rid of the asobo 'not' top team, too. We've suffered 4 years of them and they don't seem to be getting any better.

What kind of hit show is MS running? I'm trying to download an update for 2020 via content manager and I'm not even getting 1 Mbit/s on a 50Mbit/s connection. Can these clowns be taken to court under false advertising and general fraud?
