Why you don’t opt out from SU3 beta (unless you volunteer to be a tester, to help resolving the bug?).
Overall flying away from airports is ok, coming close is a desaster, 50% loss of fps. I don’t know how accurate the fps counter is when VR is enabled, because 30-35 seem already good to fly, but going down to single digit when entering the airport range is not nice.

I understand your perspective, but I’ve been testing builds across multiple sims for quite some time now. I signed up to contribute specifically to VR development, but I can’t do that BECAUSE the sim becomes unusable once in VR.
As many others in this thread have mentioned, reporting issues is how we help the team identify and solve problems. Unfortunately, this particular issue cuts me off from contributing further, because my flights end within minutes due to unmanageable performance.
I WANT to contribute to SU3 development! (I opted in, after all) downgrading to SU2 doesn’t help me in that aspect.
I use 2020 as my stable platform when I need to fly for my own personal enjoyment. I want to bug test on 2024, but I didn’t expect a game breaking bug to prevent me from finding and hopefully improving all other bugs.
I hope that clarifies my position.

Unfortunately during the development the product-breaking bugs sometimes happen. We are here to help fixing them or to provide reasons for the decision to roll back to the previous build (which is never easy for the devs, as lots of work must be later redone). Working with beta we are testers not customers.
I encourage you to actually read the reply with the intent to understand, not just to prove your point! But thanks for your time and your words. 
Thank you for taking the time to make that video. That is what I see as well (7800X3D/4090/W11/G2WMR) even when OLOD and TLOD are turned down to 25 and all traffic at zero.
It is reasonably independent of GPU work load. I can turn down the resolution and fps drop still happens.
2020 DX12 stays solid around 35-45fps. Test airport for me is default RJTT.

Is it with or without Foveated Rendering?
The drop is Huge on that video!
i think it was without…
with foveated rendering the drops are worse.
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
