Brief description of the issue:

I have been using this simulator since day 1. I have constantly messed with and changed settings to get the sim to run better. Nothing works. I have tried absolutely everything. The sim always says “Limited by mainthread”, my CPU is only a few years old. I get only 15-25fps on the ground with a ton of stuttering. I fly large airliners, and they’re unplayable. Each update makes it run worse and worse. This has gotten from frustrating to extremely frustrating.
