Nope not here.

Yes, that's not uncommon - I've seen it mentioned on quite a few sites
and it happens to me from time to time. I haven't been able to work
out whether it is the planes or the scenery that cause it - I suspect
the latter. As far as I cold work out, it happens mostly with add-on
sceneries rather than default ones, where there are perhaps small
faults in the bgl files. And I found that if I moved the default
starting gate from one where the problem occurs, the juddering (and
yes, sometimes collapse of the aircraft) doesn't happen any more.

Can't find a way to 'cure' the problem though.

I am using FSGlobal2005 (13 GB world mesh =8-) ), and it seems that FS9
gets in trouble when loading the Meshes from LOD5 (which is used for
distant objects) to LOD9 (which is the default for FSG2005), for example
when one slews very fast to another airport, or when viewing distant
aircraft.

I don't know if using multiple layers of airport bgl files does increase
the effect.
