    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Windows 10 or 11?

Hi,
I'm currently running MSFS on Windows 11 and have been doing, happily up until update 10 (I also think there was a major Windows update at the same time), prior to that I was running the Beta and it was great. Since then, I've been plagued by stutters of one type or another. I've now updated to version 11 and obviously I'd hoped there might be some improvement but sadly, no and now I get a CTD whenever I switch between the screen and my Mixed Reality (Reverb G2) headset.

Since update 10 I've reinstalled Windows 11 and MSFS several times (yes, I know repeating the same procedure several times and expecting different results is the definition of insanity), but I've now decided to get a new M2 SSD and start completely from scratch.

My question is, are people finding better results running the Sim on Windows 10 or 11? You would assume that the latest operating system would be the way to go, but most guides to MSFS seem to be written with Windows 10 in mind and there do seem to be a few options mentioned that aren't available on Windows 11 (or the Home version at least).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ian
 
Actually I've seen better perfomance since (clean) installing windows 11.

You might want to have a look at the hardware accellerated GPU scheduling. Some have better results with it turned on, so with turned off.

Cheers,

Yes, thanks Priller, I do have HAGS turned off it gives a good FPS boost but at the expense of massively increasing stutters.
