Here the game stops completely and it feels the same like when it’s about CTD. The worst part though is a very big freeze for a around 15-20 seconds every 15-20 minutes. and Bay Area, because of the high amount scenery and photogrammetry. Where it occurrs heavily depends on the current scenery but so far, for every test I used San Francisco Intl. But then every 3-4 seconds I get a short freeze approx 0,5 seconds, always at the same coincidental position of 360° angle. If you rotate the drone now it’s much better. This stops immediatly when you come to a halt. With DX12, however, it becomes a stutter-and-freeze fest: supposedly every 0,25 secs you have a little stutter for a few miliseconds when flying low over ground.


Also, I have to say that after a fresh system installation I still didn’t optimize my connection settings for the Microsoft servers. They happen here and there but it’s nothing that gives you serious issues when playing. With DX11 you have your usual stutters when the connection is shoveling new satellite imagery into the VRAM. I normally test this with the external view of the drone. What’s more bugging are the constant stutters. With DX11 I am on a stable 45 to 50 FPS in 1080p, all on Ultra and with terrain detail 300. But it’s still in the area of decent playability, showing around 35 to 40 FPS. It’s not so much really bad framerates that make the game unplayable, though I have to say that my FPS drop around 15 to 20% when DX12 is active. And yes, also my performance is horrible with DX12 for the time being. I have a Ryzen 7 5800X together with a PowerColor 6900XT and 32GB RAM. Hey, even if this thread is already a couple of months old, I just wanted to chime in. I just want to know if all AMD users having tried it have the same observations. I understand this is still beta… but there’s a limit. I spare you the effects in VR - basically unusable. The frame rate is abysmally bad, getting smooth rendering for about half a second at the time, followed by few seconds of terrible choppiness. My Radeon 6800XT MBE, which is by no means a weak card, has a very hard time with MSFS and DX12. I was wondering if anyone with AMD hardware has decent DX12 performance with MSFS.
