Switched to MSFS2024 and I regret it
I bought MSFS2024 just a few days ago and I gotta admit it was a mistake.
The main issues I have after "completing" a single flight:
- with exact the same ingame graphic settings and the exact same Nvidia Control Panel Settings, I got extreme lag and very low and variable FPS, like somewhere between 10 and 40 while in MSFS2020, I had such a smooth and stable experience with super smooth 30-60 FPS without any tearing or microstutters, no matter what weather, traffic, object density.
Had to turn settings to low-medium with this sys: i5-14600KF, RAM 16GB, RTX 3060Ti in order to avoid a complete stutter fest.
-> Got "AutoFPS" https://github.com/ResetXPDR/MSFS_AutoFPS/releases/tag/v0.4.4.7 and it's an absolute gem of an addon! It noticeable smoother (more like noticeable less stutters) and frames approx. 25% higher than without this tool.
- outside view still very laggy and I don't know how to describe it, but it's like when looking around and it lags, the rendered picture doesn't continue at the same POV the lag happened, but it's already a lot further and you are already looking way past you wanted to look (don't know how to describe it better but it sucks)
- pressing ESC and then resume disconnects vPilot for VATSIM
- VATSIM Model Matching: no Helicopters available. You can't access the aircraft.cfg of default planes as they are streamed and not installed locally. This means, you don't have a "title=" which you can use to set up to use the default helicopters to see other helis on the network. If there's a copter hovering around the airport, you'll see a hovering Embraer ......
- huge airport lights: Runway and Taxiway lights, etc. are way too big. They look like giant bubbles in FS24.
- worst of all: Inibuilds default Airbus aircraft having the same issue of WASM crashes (?) which lead to frozen buttons and screens I had years ago in their A310. Did like 5 flights in the A310 and threw it in the bin, 'cause 3 of them ended with frozen screens on approach after long flights. What really grinds my gears: THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE happened on my first flight in FS24 with the otherwise great A321LR... Can't Fokken stand it...
Good thing is, in this current broken state of the sim, I don't even need to further think about spending 650EUR on a new RTX5070. Will stand by for sim update 2 and try again.
