Touch Down Shutters 1-2 sec apause

[virtuali]

It's sad that I have to run an older version for the solution to work.

What makes you think we stopped there ? That was JUST a FIRST step to confirm that, in your case, the old version didn't affect the landing.

If you read my previous post, one THEORY is the automatic restart after takeoff might have caused this. It's only a theory, because as I've said so many times, I cannot reproduce ANY pauses/freezes/stuttering on landing with ANY version, so we can only take guesses, following reports by somebody affected by it.

Assuming the theory the restart caused this is correct, which is difficult to accept for me, because it should prevented it, but that's seems the only change that can possibly be related to entering/exiting airport that happened from 3.5.6 to 3.5.7, there's another fix online now, that has completely disabled it. So try to update again now or, to be 100% sure you have it, download and install the OFFLINE installer again now, and see if the stutters on landing are gone.

- It they are gone, then we can confirm it *was* in fact the restart on takeoff, and all it's fine.

- If they are back again, it means it wasn't the auto-restart, so we are back on square one, so I suggest to keep using 3.5.6 until we find what the real cause was.

As I mentioned earlier, version 3.5.6 runs smoothly with no issues related to stuttering. However, after updating to the latest version 3.5.8 (released on June 22nd, 2025), I’m experiencing noticeable 1–2 second pauses or stutters during use. This clearly points to a GSX-related problem, and several other users on the forum have reported experiencing the same issue. S soon as the update came out on the 22 Jun 25. should be looked into urgently.

I also downloaded and ran the 3.5.6 offline installer, tested a few times and the touchdown lag is gone.

From where can you download the old versions?

Did version Version 3.5.7 – June 17th, 2025 have caused this issue 

Difficult to say for sure if this is your case. Here's a link for an Offline installer for version 3.5.6

Just install this, don't do anything else (don't update), and don't change anything from the previous flight and see if the pause still happens.

First of all, I’d like to apologize if my previous comments came across as harsh toward the support team, and I also want to thank you for the updates and the effort you're putting into this.

In an effort to assist—since you're having trouble reproducing the issue on your end—I’m available if you'd like to connect remotely to my machine for analysis.

As mentioned earlier, I don’t experience the issue on version 3.5.6. However, after updating and running even a short flight—like SBSP to SBGR (around 5 minutes)—the problem occurs consistently.

I believe the issue is not related to my system setup. I’m running a clean Windows 10 install dedicated solely to the simulator. My hardware includes a 9800X3D CPU, RTX 5090 GPU, 64GB of DDR5 RAM (6400 CL30), and a 2TB NVMe SSD. I also use Addons Linker to avoid loading unnecessary sceneries and textures. In short, my setup is quite optimized for smooth simulator performance.

I’ll go ahead and install the hotfix and report back to the community whether it resolves the issue on my end.

Fingers crossed that the root cause is found soon!

Update: Tested with the latest version and the issue still persists. I’ll proceed with a rollback to version 3.5.6.

How do I properly install version 3.5.6? I ran the offline installer, and the version shows up correctly. However, all ground vehicle models are completely missing, and the service crew is entirely pink?

Run the online updater again, and then use the Offline installer if it's not fixed. Please don't post about this here, because this thread is very specific to the lag on touchdown.

I have exactly the same issues what I already did:

Disable effects
Set settings down
turn photogrammetry off
Turned asobo ground handling off

I just did LCA-AMS and had no stutters after setting GSX back to 3.5.6. It looks like in 3.5.8 it is trying to load services on the airport which cause a freeze of 1 till 5 seconds.

Be nice to know if the devs know about this now. It makes GSX pointless being installed.

I just got GSX, same issue, how in the world do I get version 3.5.6? Anyone have a link, I don't understand all this offline installer business.

Just download this file and run it. That's all. You can verify the version later in the FSDT installer and should say 3.5.6 installed, 3.5.8 latest

Thanks so much

Add my name to the list.  Same issue with pause on touchdown or very close to touchdown.

Oddly, FSLabs control center detects GSX version and tells me it needed updating, so I did.

So if I go back to GSX 3.5.6 does that imply I'll have issues with FSLabs A321?

And why is FSLabs trying to install SODE V1.8.0 from july 2023 when it doesn't work with MSFS 2024 and is NOT needed for MSFS 2024?

[MrSauga]

I get the same issue. Updated to this version a little while ago. My first landing it froze up for about 3-4 seconds, but it was a long flight and thought nothing of it. Then it did it again yesterday, my second flight since the latest GSX update. The game freezes as soon as the main gear hits the runway. Looking for answers, it was then I noticed this issue happening to others. Since going back to the previous version has helped others, I will do the same.

HELLO MY DEAR

I came to report how this error occurred to me, and how I resolved it, being 100% sure that it was the GSX that did this to me.

Yesterday I updated my planes, and also the GSX, and was alerted by a friend that this was happening to him, so after updating the entire simulator and addons, I did a small test flight and got the sttuters on touchdown. I decided to do my Friday long haul anyway, and took off in a KLAX-EGLL. Today, the landing was a complete disaster, adding the wonderful gust winds of the MSFS to the sttuter landing.

Thats the live broadcast of the disastrous landing (JUMP TO 24:06):

So, after being extremely upset about this, I came across this post, and decided to revert to the Addon Manager version through the link they sent here. Here's how I did it after this live:

I closed MSFS.
I downloaded and installed Addon Manager 3.5.6.
I just checked the version in the FSDT Installer. (Image in attach)
I opened MSFS and did a EGKK-EGLL, with the same plane, in the same way I did when landing in the live.

And so my dears, here is the result:

I didn't come here to say that GSX did this to everyone, but rather that FOR ME this was the problem, and for now it's solved. If I get stutters on touchdown again I'll come back here to say that I was wrong

Link to the older installer (just run and be happy):
