Big reduction in stuttering here, probably 60-80% less. Framerates keep getting better with each patch. Some issues though-
- Loading up London sightseeing, the engine sound starts indicating the sim has loaded, but the loading screen stays on screen for about 10 seconds. Then a frozen screen from the sim appears, and stays still for a few seconds, then another frozen frame appears. Eventually about 25-30 seconds after the sim should have loaded the mission, a moving image is eventually displayed. Happens to a lesser extent on other missions.
- Some times after loading a mission, you see the landscape being 'drawn-in' in blocks, so initially you look to be over sea, then the landscape gets blocked in.
- Every 30-90 seconds there will be one of two half second stutters.
- While the old big stutters are mostly gone, there's still micro stuttering when flying low.
- House shadows that in the last third of the screen horizontally are sometimes stretched to the edge of the screen. This especially happens when looking out the side of the cockpit (rather than straight forward).
- LOD issues on buildings. Untextured boxes are drawn until you are right over them. Sometimes with buildings on 'unlimited' the buildings aren't drawn at all. I noticed half of Dover was flat with no buildings once.
- Sim still doesn't look like it's running full screen.
- Launcher crashes after exiting sim every time.
