In my case I have a pc similar to yours, with a 5600x + 3070. I have been playing with link for weeks, using the guides and configurations in the forum until I decided to try it through VD. To my surprise, the game is extremely smooth (less in the menus), it is not so sharp outside the cockpit, but for example with large planes I notice it much much more fluid than using link, even raising the graphic settings game.
To play it through VD it must be using steamVr. I have to keep doing tests, but I guarantee that with the same config in the game it goes smoother in VD.
Test it and tell me
