Going to try that now. Just done it and restarted PC. Will let you know. Thank you ☺️

Oh aye, it's on 1024 now and 10% 10%. That didn't seem to affect anything but obviously having it at 4gb was silly, I was just trying everything at that point but with these recent disk checks and repairs it feels a bit better

I did DISM and SFC to and it said it found an issues and it's solved it but still getting the terrible freezes when flying. I really really appreciate everyone's help but I think I'll just log in to sing then if I want to explore I'll need to find another game as this is seeming impossible to fix. EDIT: Since doing the SFC and DISM it does actually feel like it's lessened the problem. It's still there when I fly over very very object heavy areas but for now it actually seems to have helped a bit. Will continue my whining shortly if anything changes LOL, thanks for being patient with me.

You don't know how much I appreciate everyone's input. I've read through them and will be not giving up at tackling this. I am almost certain its an asset loading issue as it definitely only happens as new objects or land pop into view. You're all great, thanks so much!

Hmm rolling back to an older GPU Driver, I haven't tried that yet. I always presumed having the newest driver was the logical thing to do and I'm worried if it'd mess up my performance on other games but do you think it's worth a shot and if so how far would you roll back?

Yeah and although I have my mesh body on I am only 40ish scripts. The HUDS you see I need to sail, Ban Line HUD is important because people like to throw them up everywhere and the others are for my boat. Even on my 1 script test avi I still get the freezes. Nothing on my PC is screaming at me, I have a good internet connection but FS still freezes and gives me those "not responding" moments still for a few seconds at a time. It's so weird, it seems to happen on every viewer to, some less than others.

So I disabled the Diagnostic Policy Service and although it seems to have helped a little bit I'm still getting the freezing and stuttering. I've tried just about every prefrences combo people have told me about and all the tips and tricks but this is how it looks to me while I'm sailing, just recorded it now. My Disk is at 0% and goes up to 40%+ occasionally, ram never goes over 54% and CPU is always like 15-35% so I really don't know what is causing this issue but I'm starting to give up hope. It seems as though it's happening as new land and objects are loading in so it's a choice between higher DD with less popping in but lower FPS or lower DD with more popping in and higher fps. I don't feel like I can win. Here is the clip, turn sound of as their is mic static and my daughter laughing at TikTok in the background and coughing really loudly on Discord because she didn't know I was recording haha https://streamable.com/w2tvzc

VERY interesting. Thank you for this input and I'll be looking into this. We appreciate your feedback 👍

Brilliant, I'll give that a go. Thank you Kathrine

I agree and since I got my scripts down to 10-15 the sim crossing are way way better, it's just this freezing issue as stuff is loading in. Thanks for your help Odaks, I appreciate it.

Thank you to those who gave genuine advice rather than just saying "you expect it to run smooth on ultra trololol" I'll keep tinkering. Cheers

Also I'm pretty sure it says in the viewer that it'll be capped accordingly if it exceeds what is available, flying with under 200 draw distance makes seeing airport runways almost impossible till you're on top of them and the LOD, yeah fair enough I could lower that. But the rest of what you said is not only unhelpful but wrong. Good day.

Sorry I wasn't aware I had to have SOME sort of level of PC expertise to ask questions here. Offer advice or don't respond with your sarcastic comments.

Thank you very much, I will look into that!

Thank you so much for this advice, I'll take all of that into account. I restarted my router and got back to 0.1-0.3% packet loss. I also just straight up disabled my AV, I used the built in windows ones and I've turned them all off but instead I'll re-enable them and whitelist them. Thank You!
