stutters related to GSX Seated Passengers triggered by Beacon light (MSFS2024)

[4240]

Hi, I’d like to report a performance issue I’ve identified when using GSX in MSFS2024.

When the Seated Passengers feature is enabled, the aircraft experiences noticeable stutters after turning on the Beacon light.
The frequency of the micro-stutters appears to be synchronized with the Beacon flashing interval.
The issue stops instantly after disabling Seated Passengers.
This issue is not aircraft-specific, and I have reproduced it with: iniBuilds A350-900, Fenix A320s, PMDG 777s

System: i9-14900K / RTX 5070 Ti / 48GB DDR5

The stutter is triggered even without visible passengers. Simply having seated passengers checked in the fsdt universal installer is enough to cause it.

I would not use Seated Passengers until SU4 is out. Umberto blames Asobo as usual and didn't look at finding the solution and optimising it so it works in SU3.

I don’t mean to rain on your parade, but this issue also existed in SU4.

Well SU4 isn’t out yet so it would be the beta and I haven’t used it however Umberto said it’s fixed in SU4 beta so that is why he hasn’t bothered to fix it in SU3 but I just took his word on it (which is foolish).

I can’t remember exactly but I’m sure the previous version before 3.7.1 worked fine in SU3 and the problem was introduced when 3.7.1 was released.

I  had very bad stutters tonight with the Fenix when the beacon was flashing. I also had passengers enabled

Are there any official staff members monitoring this forum? This issue has been reported by players in the iniBuilds, Fenix, and Microsoft Flight Simulator official communities as well. Is there any channel I can use to directly contact the developers?
