How is the performance? I only have a GTX1080Ti and i7 7700k someone with similar setup?
I had a nice 2d flight in the A version today. Just CTD’d in VR. I will note I was flying in some 45 knot winds and the HUD reflected that nicely.
2080 and a 7700k and it runs fine for me. Not really any better or worse than other aricraft.
Performance is pretty good, similar to other complex aircraft. For reference my average 61fps in the c172 g1000 drops to 49 fps in the F35. I had to go back and look since it was very smooth and I didn’t even bother checking fps in my first flight. (i9-9900k / RTX2080)
I did some testing regarding CTDs. It seems to only be the B model that crashes, as I had a full flight with the A model with no issues. I did another test where I started up the B model and left it running to see if it would crash the sim, and it sat with the engines running for over an hour, as soon as I touched my controls, it crashed the sim. I’m not running anything exotic, just a TM Warthog and CH Products pedals.
Over here I flew the F-35B for about 3.5-4 hours with a CTD at two hours in. No live weather.
Per task manager, memory usage of MSFS was pretty conservative, considering I was with a group of 20 people (with some variety of planes), with another F-35B and a third one joining up at the end. So I don’t think it’s a memory leak.
If the thing can last two hours in one go, I figure it’s some obscure issue upstream in the sim. Some weird race condition or whatever.
Asobo has a copy of the plane, so they can add use it to debug the sim for SU8, if it’s really causing an above average amount of CTDs. Eventually another plane maker is going to run into the same issue(s), if they haven’t already.
I mean, the tools plane developers have in regards to custom code is TypeScript/JavaScript and WASM, all via V8, which sandboxes all these. They shouldn’t be able to take down the sim. At least not as far as crashing it entirely. Unless Asobo isn’t catching all exceptions V8 engine is throwing.

Hi does anyone know if this aircraft works well flying with only VR controllers please?
Surprisingly, performance is pretty good in VR 42 fps 100/100 Ultra … HP Reverb G2/RX 6900XT/Ryzen 5 3600.
However, CTD with community full of mods. Will try with empty community folder later this evening.
Has anyone experienced CTP with empty community folder?
Just did a good flight there out of Farnborough round London and back in the B variant and there were no CTD this time.
First flight CTD. First once since SU6 for my system. :(. F35A out of RAF Valley. CTD about 14000ft
Going to try the -B model now…
Oh was in VR with quest2
EDIT 1 - Flew the -B for about 30 min, then CTD over SoCal… Ugh… Why was this released with issues???
EDIT 2- So all three models are causing CTD on my system. As I stated above I have NOT had any CTDs since SU6… Yes SU6… The only item which crashes my system is RexWeather, and its been uninstalled permanently… 
The last CTD was over Northern Australia, no Mods.
At this point I’ve tried to get this going about 20 times with all three models, varied fuel loads, liveries, locations, all CTD after “Ready to Fly” button is hit and cockpit begins to load. Drivers up to date, tried both beta and production MSFS release via steam, uninstalling all third party content, etc.
solved: DX12 was the issue, no issues in DX11
Well I’ve only been off the ground with the B once and crashed a few minutes later so good luck.
Especially since CTDs were something that was holding up the release……. I’m confident this will get resolved but I’m going to shelf it until then. No use going through the effort to set up a flight if there’s a good chance you’re going to CTD.
Agreed, I love the plane and it flys like a dream, but all models A B & C seem cause CTD on my system after about 10-30 min. This makes me VERY sad. So guess its on the shelf until Asobo drops the HotFix…
So its my understanding that the carrier is not with this package? That its suppose to be released later on?
Works good for me so far…. anyone know how we can bind a key to the Hook, Stovl button?
Carriers will be released at a later date as a separate addon for a small cost.

Problem solved!
Hi friends.
I’m not a fighter pilot, but I try to fly different planes in desktop flight simulator.
Today INDIAFOXTECHO - F-35 LIGHTNING II MSFS came out, and with a few fluge, I can say that this is one of the best fighters that was made for MSFS 2020. It has very good physic and flight properties, and flying with it is very enjoyable.
A big negative point is “parking break” that I can’t release.
My problem is solved! 
That was because of my mistakes. I have 4 throttle and I had to turn off a couple of them.

There’s a list in the manual, for the Hook/STOVL you use the Wing Lights Toggle assignment.
