I have a window showing in my headset “Oculus Performance” It is showing "App Frame rate @ 15% !!! I know I have something screwed up.
ODT and OTT are different - ODT is already installed with the Oculus software but OTT is a separate application, the Developer has a thread here: Oculus TrayTool - SuperSampling profiles, HMD disc... - Meta Community Forums - 523754
If you’re only getting 15FPS then yeah, something is wrong somewhere!
If it’s showing 15ms then that’s frame time and is more along the right lines.
The big problem with MSFS is it only really uses about 4 CPU threads, but really hammers the main thread - as such, with a 4090 you have to balance the CPU main thread usage by playing with the in Sim settings - TLOD, LOD, clouds and shadows appear to be the most CPU heavy settings. On 2D you’ll easily be able to max everything out, in VR we still can’t max everything out and most settings will be in the medium / high range.
My advice would be to turn everything down to low or mid and ensure you can get a good consistent frame rate, then play with the settings to get a good balance between visuals and performance.
I’ll try that. I’ve seen videos and posts where people are running everything at Max settings and enjoying the experience. I’m a long ways from that.

To make sure that you will get recognized by MSFS (after you connect by Link or Airlink) is to make sure that in the OculusClient menu (that wants you to buy more apps), go to Settings->General and look at the second entry down that talks about OpenXR Runtime and use the button if necessary, to make Oculus the active OpenXR runtime.
The fastest way to know that OpenXR ToolKit is functioning is to open it’s menu while running in VR - usually with ALT or CTRL + F1 (which can be set by the OpenXR Toolkit Companion app)
Here are snapshots of my basic setup. Depending on your GPU, you might set the top element (Pixel Display Override) to between 1.3 to 1.6 and the encode bitrate 400 is for Link and 200 for Airlink.

Well, in VR, with a 13700K running at 5.5GHz on the P cores, 32GB of 4000MHz CL17 DDR4 in Gear 1, ROG STRIX 4090 running with 1500MHz on the VRAM and boosting over 2.9GHz I can’t run everything anywhere near maxed out!
I could run everything maxed out on my old 11700K and 3070Ti on my triples in 2D, but VR is a different beast.
Having said that, I don’t use Motion Reprojection in VR, that could potentially help with being able to up the settings - that has a whole other thread devoted to that…
