Stuttering can be caused by a couple of different things
This could be caused by trying to display too much detail and your system is not capable of doing it
A couple of questions will help here
1) what are your system specs
2) is this a boxed version or Steam
3) if this is a boxed version did you do a complete install or did you leave the scenery on the install CD'S
4) what are your frame rates set at
5) Where are your scenery sliders set at
Try the following while in flight
press shift+z a couple of times this will display your frame rates in the top left hand corner in red. If you see them going from 5 to 10 that is your problem
If your frame rates are set too high the odds are your system just cannot handle it
I would suggest you set your frame rates at 30 make sure your sliders are turned down and see if the problem goes away
If you set your frame rates are set to high or if you have them set at unlocked your system will try its best to display the scenery but just is not able to do so
A few things that cause this is in no certain order
CPU to slow
Not enough RAM or the speed is too slow
lack of a graphics card or it is too slow
FSX is a demanding program if you want to run it maxed out like I do you need to have a system that will do it
you can see by my signature i have a descent system and I run FSX maxed out frame rates locked at 30 with no problems at all
This is a trail and error approach the biggest cause of stuttering is trying to display too much Auto generated Scenery
this could be a frame rate issue
Start by setting all of your sliders to the far left which is turned all the way down and slowly start turning them up one at a time and see how it effects your frame rates
This is a slow process but it is the only way you can get the best results for your system
