Hello all.
well after many of failed flights with freezing and or very poor fps to the point where it’s un flyable tonight I actually did a flight from CYYZ to KJFK and to my surprise I had no issues.
I figured out via youtube why my mouse was not clicking some of my gauges as msfs had it locked.
Playing around with settings for weeks/months I actually had 35fps -45fps even at both airports with flybywire AI traffic.
We have the new starlink internet and my connection is much faster then old internet (150mbps compared to 17mbps) however the photogrammetry still looks like buildings are burnt and rundown and even distorted. So I have to leave it off.
Now if Fspassengers would only come back for msfs2020
Happy flying all.
Glenn.

Good to hear. When VR doesn’t work it’s a nightmare, when it works it blows your socks off.

Do you think the Starlink connection was the critical factor in getting better performance?
I have a pretty good rig, but still struggle and I’m starting to put it down to my Internet connection. I have 38Mbps but there’s no plans to upgrade my area to fibre for at least a few years, so I was also looking at Starlink.
I think we had the same internet lol
however even when I first got starlink I thought it would help the graphics . not sure if so.
the photogeometry still looks like the walking dead and worse so it’s turned off.
From what I can figure out I did install the open mixed reality app and only thing I did to it was use latest openxr runtime was ticked to on, rendering settings turned on and set to 100%
Openxr tool kit installed and left at default only used fps counter. and saw min 30fps in CYYZ with no lag.
not sure if there is a way I can show settings in msfs if I figure it out and you wanna try them let me know. xplornet was our previous internet
this is my vid of the switch over
so with all that i’m not 100% sure what actually fixed it. watch later when I go into a flight it craps out on me lol.
let me know if I can help

Thanks Glenn. Really appreciate the response. It sounds like the Starlink wasn’t the difference then. The later OpenXR runtimes are better (although I’ve switched from G2 to QPro recently anyway so I’m using the Oculus runtime these days)
I have things running pretty good to be honest, but as always with sims in VR, you’re always looking for that little bit more 
tazzham - are you still seeing 150mpbs download speeds (in general, not necessarily when using MSFS) on Starlink? I’m thinking of getting Starlink, now that it’s available in my area, so am interested in your experience with this service. Thanks!
hey…well I have to say it’s not perfect…we had a good snow storm few days ago and internet was out for about35min , not sure if just cause storm or what but it will happen…on average my speed test is 90mbps to 220mbps. I have seen it as low as 25-57mbps but tested it again and it jumps back up…if it’s a busy saturday then I guess yes it will drop some just like the other 4glte service we had before, but our experience with it I have to say …very happy and glad we made the change
Please understand and remember if you get a rain or snow storm it will cause some interruptions .
Hope this helps…
Glenn.
Yes it does - thanks for the reply. I’m on 4G LTE now, and connectivity / latency / bandwidth is very poor - mist, rain & snow pretty well stop kills the connectivity. Right now speedtest is showing 13 mbps, but for some reason the initial 2.11 GB install of MSFS is going very slowly…
