Hotfix 1.14.6.0 released for MSFS, brings performance fixes and optimizations
The Microsoft Flight Simulator team released today a hotfix for MSFS, v1.14.6.0, which hopes to fix some serious performance issues many simmers have been experiencing lately.
This quick update was announced 10 days ago when the team recognized the performance issues that were being reported since World Update 3. Many reports indicated a severe performance drop in many circumstances. Some users were experiencing that close to large airports, others in seemingly any place.
The patch released today should fix these issues for most people, if not for everyone. Early reports show much improved FPS all across the simulator, which bodes well for the efficiency of this update.
Patch notes are just two:
- Performance optimizations when flying close to large airports such as Dallas-Ft Worth (KDFW)
- Performance optimizations of server requests when in the menus and during flight
To get the update, just launch Flight Simulator and you should get a notice to install the patch. This is a small one, with just a little over 100mb, so it should be quick.
Did this patch fix your problems? Let us know in the comments below!

I noticed that once in flight the sim frame rate dropped drastically and I was not around any large scenery or airport. I started FS2020, did the update and still experienced the same performance issue. Could not even look around the flightdeck. So either I did not install it right or the patch does not work

Realmente os FPS aumentaram drasticamente. Só não gostei que o Simulador mudou a configuração Display. Corrigi e tudo bem. Parabéns aos desenvolvedores do MSFS2020. Muito Obrigado pela vossa atenção.

yes but has now created fuzzy textures throughout the cockpit and when looking out onto the runway

This fix absolutely solved my frames per second problem. For example, I have never seen over 30 frames per second flying over Los Angeles, but after this fix yes that’s what I have. Before this fix I was lucky to get 25 frames per second. Ryzen 5 RX 580. 24gb ram. 1080p, Med-High.

Its downloading now and its not a small item, its downloading 17.41 GB not 100Mb.
I just installed the SDK 0.11.0.0 update so I dont know if that has anything to do with it downloading more.
