I just bought this tonight, and have completed my first few flights.

Request: can you please work on optimising performance, particularly with regards to frame rate stability.

I'm flying only in VR these days, and whilst I can get the necessary 45 FPS with everything turned down (and cabin off), frames regularly drop down into the 20's. From a VR perspective, this makes things stutter.

Your plan to allow FO displays to be turned off is a good start (I fly this way with other). Perhaps you could also offer an option to decrease refresh rate of the displays that are left on (option in other aircraft). I think displays are a common reason for poor performance in P3D.

I also noticed that some of the cockpit texture shimmer more than others - overhead looks good, but MCP shimmers quite a bit (its better with AA cranked all the way up, but then the aircraft performance is unacceptable).

If you can work out any other areas that could lead to better performance or frame rate stability (important), that would be great.

FSL A320 has terrible frame stability on release, but they improved this with the first patch. Other aircraft, such as the Maddog, seem to be pretty good from release. FWIW, I've flown all of the major P3D airliners in VR, with the exception of the TFdi 717.

Overall, your 757 is a fun aircraft to fly in VR. Analogue gauges e.g. speed, with the bug clearly visible, are quite easy to fly with. Cabin is big enough to stand up in (unlike the 737). All the necessary controls are easily accessable in VR mode, and I can program the CDU OK with my HMD on.

Btw, my system is an overclocked 5820K @4.4Ghx, with a 1080Ti. The above performance issues are with pretty much everything turned off - weather, dynamic lighting, autogen etc. So whilst some will have a CPU that's just a little faster, there's no other potential for performance increases at my end.

There's a lot of people who fly VR exclusive (or at least frequently) these days, and that number will steadily increase, so if you can tweak things as above, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would appreciate it.

Thanks chaps!

P.S. If anyone has any performance tips specific to the 757 -apart from turning off the cabin - I love to hear them. Cheers!

(edit: just noticed this was my first post, after being a forum member for 8 years. Took me a while, will try and get the second post in a bit quicker)  :)
