Going back to 3.5.6 resolved it for me also.

EDIT: the coualt python script error I reported in another thread is also no longer happening with 3.5.6.

I don't know how long do users have to justify that GSX is an issue with Shutters on touch down. Following the most recent update, issues have arisen that appear to be directly related to GSX. After reviewing the update patterns of other major components within the simulator environment, it is evident that GSX is the most frequently updated and likely the source of the problem.

Reasoning:

MSFS 2020 Update Cadence:
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 receives official updates approximately once per month, including Nav Data and core sim enhancements. This makes it a relatively stable baseline environment.

Third-Party Aircraft Updates:
Most third-party aircraft developers release updates on average every 1–2 months. These updates are generally well-documented and timed around sim updates or major feature rollouts.

GSX Update Frequency:
GSX, in contrast, pushes updates at a much higher frequency—anywhere from 3 to 5 times per month.. it also increases the risk of issues; example conflicting the shutters on touchdown.

Conclusion:
Given the recent instability and behavior issues observed since the last GSX latest update, and the relatively unchanged state of the simulator and aircraft add-ons, GSX is the most probable cause. rollback of GSX update to 3.5.6 should be considered to confirm to resolve Issue.

I can confirm this also

it is not connected to gate selection after landing, it is a new stutter, just before touchdown introduced by the latest update

100% same issue for me. Mix of aircraft, worldwide airports, same issue.

Same issue here; multi-second stutters w/GSX, no stutters after uninstallation

Is there a way to rollback or download to 3.5.6? I've had nothing but problems, including the two second pause on touchdown, with the latest release.

Confirming that rolling back  to 3.5.6 fixed the problem,

Ref developers saying they can,t see the problrms themselves,   I have FStraffic and was flying the LV A321,     have the developers tried testing for the problem with add-ons running

I also was having this issue in MSFS2020, but resolved by rolling back to 3.5.6.

Addons used:
ini A359 and A35K (both with and without ANF zoom on touchdown)
BATC experimental
BATC Traffic Map
LORBY AxisandOhs
Chaseplane
Volanta
Aviaworx Flight Monitor
Navigraph Charts

I only did two landings that had stutters before switching back to 3.5.6 and those airports were inibuilds KLAX (24R) and inibuilds EGLL (27L).

Since the last update 3.5.8. I have in a one hour flight like EGSS - EHEH 2 or 3 shutters for about 10 seconds. In that time my FPS=N/A, GCU=0% and CPU=between 19-40%.
Now I did the same flight without GSX and there was no stutter at all. Exept a few 1 second stutters what I have normaly with my system.
By the way, the stutters were in flight, not at landing or take off.

And here's one more with the same issue, constant stuttering or rather complete freezes on touchdown. Which can last up to a few seconds. Making landings very challenging to say the least!

How/where can you find previous versions of GSX Pro like the 3.5.6 version people are referring to?

I found a workaround for the iFly 737 MAX8 (for MSFS2020) where I disabled all services but jetways in aircraft.cfg. However, that is nothing but a work-around and based on how the only component recently updated over here is GSX and I never had this issue before, I'd say it's quite clear GSX being the culprit. Regardless what was said in the beginning of this thread where the normal comment was how this is not a problem with GSX but something else.

A comment we've all heard before but I hope for this one, the issue will be properly confirmed and addressed if it hasn't already. Haven't read through all the posts in this thread and possible new comments from the GSX dev team.

Just did another flight without any issues, simply by disabling the services in aircraft.cfg for the aircraft you're flying. As long as you keep jetways enabled, I haven't seen any bad side-effect using this method while waiting for Umberto and team to come up with a proper solution.

To me, this is more simple than downloading and installing older versions of GSX.

For anyone else in here having this issue, below is what it looks like over here and working just fine with the latest version of GSX Pro installed. The path to aircraft.cfg in my case is ...\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community\ifly-aircraft-737max8\SimObjects\Airplanes\iFly 737-MAX8 but will of course differ depending on aircraft and where you have it installed. This is the MS Store version of MSFS2020.

[SERVICES]
FUELTRUCK = 0
BAGGAGE_LOADER = 0
CATERING_TRUCK = 0
BOARDING_RAMP = 0
GROUND_POWER_UNIT = 0
PUSHBACK = 0
SMALL_PUSHBACK = 0
MARSHALLER = 0
JETWAY = 1

My apologies for possibly a stupid question.....but what do I do to get 3.5.6

I've downloaded the file which is now in my downloads folder - it's called Addon Manager 3.5.6 and is 181mb.

Is it as simple as closing the universal updater and then running the downloaded Addon Manager.exe

Or is there something else I'm missing?

I seem to remember I tried to do this a while back for something else and it didn't work.

Many thanks and sorry for the silly question.....just wanted to double check
