Hi so I haven’t bought the sim yet. I’m a VR user and was waiting for reviews, which as we all know have been generally awful so far with the botched launch.
However one review I saw, and I’ve heard this elsewhere too, is that fs2024 is not maximising performance of hardware and so performance headroom is being left on the table.
Fs2020 looked great in VR, the only issue for me really was performance. Wasn’t one of the key factors in the 2024 release to be using multi threading to unleash alot of performance headroom? So where is the improved performance?
I expect a demanding game to be maximising capability of hardware. Is this a case of optimised for xbox maybe, and PC/VR optimisation being ignored?
Hard to know what that means absent detailed metrics. However, in general, I do not find that to be the case on my system. I see GPU usage at 80 - 98% most of the time, and CPU usage at about 50 - 60% depending on scenery, traffic, weather, etc. I do note that all 16 of my virtual cores are running at 60 - 80% on FS2024, as opposed to one core nearly pegged and the rest sort of just idling along in FS2020. My general performance is also amazingly more fluid and smooth-feeling in ‘24 as opposed to ‘20.
Every user’s experience will vary of course.

The reviewer was getting only 40-50% utilisation on a high end system of both CPU and GPU. I’ve heard similar numbers elsewhere too.
Oh, well, that certainly trumps my personal experience. Silly me. 
Not at all, I appreciate your reply and glad to hear you’re getting full usage.
On my system there is definitely a lot less jitter with 2024. Ie. the frames are more evenly spaced.
In 2020, even though someone might be doing 60fps or more, it would often not look fluid – due to the micro stutters whenever main-thread core is momentarily diverted to another task. Whereas In 2024 I don’t see these micro-stutters – presumably thanks to the new multi-core engine.

My experience with 2024 is it is much smoother than 2020, together with better visuals. GPU is almost near 100% all the time and I see all my cores are being used. Whereas in 2020, half my cores would park.
