You’ll find a few suggestions below to improve your performance.

• Adjust Graphics Settings:
  • Lower Texture Quality: High texture settings can quickly fill up VRAM, leading to stutters. Reducing texture quality can alleviate this issue.

  • Reduce Level of Detail (LOD): Setting Terrain and Object LOD to 100 or lower can decrease CPU load and improve performance.

• Manage Frame Rate and V-Sync:
  • Limit FPS: Locking your FPS to 30 can provide a smoother experience and reduce stuttering.

  • Enable V-Sync: Turning on V-Sync in-game and setting it to 30 FPS can help synchronize the frame rate with your monitor’s refresh rate, reducing screen tearing and stutters.

• Optimize System Resources:
  • Close Background Processes: Background applications can consume CPU and memory resources. Ensure unnecessary programs are closed before running the simulator.

  • Check for Background Services: Services like Windows Defender can cause stutters. Consider setting exceptions for MSFS folders or temporarily disabling real-time scanning during gameplay.

• Update Drivers and Software:
  • Graphics Drivers: Ensure that your GPU drivers are up to date, as outdated drivers can lead to performance issues.
  • Windows Updates: Keep your operating system updated to benefit from performance improvements and bug fixes.
• Adjust Simulator Settings:
  • Disable Rolling Cache: Some users have found that turning off the rolling cache can reduce stutters. You can disable it in the simulator’s data settings.

  • Set Power Management to High Performance: In your system’s power settings, select the High Performance plan to ensure maximum performance.
• Monitor Hardware Performance:
  • CPU and GPU Usage: Use monitoring tools to check if your CPU or GPU is being underutilized or overutilized, which can indicate bottlenecks.
  • Temperature Levels: Ensure that your system is not overheating, as thermal throttling can lead to reduced performance.
• Additional Tools:
  • Lossless Scaling App: Some users have reported improved FPS and reduced stuttering by using third-party applications like Lossless Scaling, which can optimize windowed mode performance.

Cause: In MSFS, you can only assign a single jetway per parking spot. Therefore, some jetways are static, inactive objects, while others are attached to the closest stands, depending on the airport.

For example, if a single jetway operates between three different parking spots in real life (36L, 36, 36R), it will be assigned to only one of them in MSFS due to its limitation.

Possible Cause: Conflicting or missing files, or incorrect installation.

Solution:

• Ensure no duplicate or conflicting scenery is installed for the same area.
• Verify that the latest version of the scenery is installed. Check your store or marketplace for updates.
• Reinstall the scenery to ensure all files are intact.
• Clear the rolling cache in the simulator settings and restart the simulator.

Cause: Graphics settings or insufficient resources.

Solution:

• Lower the LOD (Level of Detail) and other graphics settings.
• Ensure your system meets the recommended specifications for the simulator.
• Clear the rolling cache and restart the simulator to refresh the textures.

Cause: Overloaded resources or incompatible add-ons.

Solution:

• Ensure all installed add-ons, including liveries and other sceneries, are up to date.
• Temporarily remove all add-ons from the Community folder except for the problematic scenery and test again.
• Reinstall your graphics drivers and ensure they are updated to the latest version.

Cause: The simulator doesn’t fully support airline-specific parking assignments.

Solution:

• Airline assignments are added but may not always work due to simulator limitations. Planes may spawn in random gates or parking spots.

Workaround:

• Use third-party traffic management add-ons that provide better control over parking spot assignments to achieve more realistic results.
