Amen to that bro!! 
Now in the back of my head something says next time I boot the game it will be cruddy again but I have my fingers and toes crossed!!
I’m tempted not to touch it if it is still ok.
But I’m a tinkerer. We always want something more, right?
So I’m gonna try OXRTK again and maybe try using Nvidia Profile Inspector to lock fps instead of Riva (one less app I need loaded?!).
And just maybe will try DX12 again but my VRAM is already pretty high (75-85%, sometimes a bit more into 90’s if there are lots of multiplayer aircraft close).
BTW, cross-posting another question I had, if anyone has any tips here? Thanks!!
