Performance degradation during flight

[JMLINARES]

Hi folks. I have been a whole year trying to get a reasonable performance on my SIM without success. With my actual settings I got solid 32FPS when start the flight, however as the flight progresses (1 hour or more) the FPS turns unstable and when I move the head the FPS drop to 6 or 8 FPS and then recovers until I move the head again. I don’t know if it’s a memory problem, if someone got a clue how to fix this in order to have a stable flight. My rig: Oculus Quest 2 (64), i5 9400F, Nvidia RTX3070, 32GB RAM

One known cause of performance degradation is traffic. Try disabling traffic and see if it still happens, or if you’re mid flight, disable it (settings → General → Traffic) and it should resolve itself immediately.

If it doesn’t work instantly, it’s some other issue.

I can confirm this works, I had the same issue.

I should add that if the performance returns, you should be able to turn traffic back again and retain normal performance. But it will of course likely degrade over time again.

I have the Traffic disabled and still hapends

Try this if not yet. I’m also a Quest 2 user and this worked for me.

A workaround for FPS drop after a long flight

I know some people include me have been experiencing sudden drop of FPS after one or two hour straight flying. Some says it’s because of the memory leak, inefficient memory management of this sim. Although recent SU 5 significantly improved the performance, FPS drop by just flying long time is still there for me. Regard this, what I found is changing sound output from the VR headphone to the computer speaker rebounds the once slow-downed FPS again. To test longevity of this change, I kept flyi…
