I am using latest official build of ASFS with MSFS 2024. I have all settings at default except for Prevent Downloads on Approach and Departure is True, and am using Weather with Active Sky Preset Sim Depiction. Clone dep/dest weather is true.
What I frequently notice during descent, even on a day with just a few cumulus around is that as I get near the clouds my frames drop by 50-75% and there is severe stuttering and the clouds appear stuttery and sometimes when viewed from say the passenger cabin, they dance up and down at rapid rate.
That eventually passes. My sense is that this may occur during a weather download and it occurs even though I am near to the airport. It does not happen all the time. I have also seen this climbing out in heavier cloud conditions.
This really ruins the immersion.
One time I was approaching Juneau with very low visibility and maybe 15 miles from the airport or more and suddenly all the weather cleared to perfectly clear with unlimited visibility and the quickly resumed the low visibility again.
If this stuttering is due to redrawing the weather during a download, is there a way to minimize or avoid this aberration? Since I have the prevent downloads option True, I would think that these downloads on approach would not be occurring.
I do use FSIPanel to set up practice approaches, and that also allows one to materialize far away on a STAR at high altitude ( Example FL 240)and follow it down. After FSIPanel sets up the scenario, I can clearly see that Active Sky creates the weather locally before I start flying. I have noticed the stuttering with these practice approaches.
I have flown only a couple of full flights with MSFS 2024, so unsure about whether this is an issue with a full flight.
