Easy fix. Pull the fuse for the standby attitude indicator, bottom row and middle, 3 amp fuse. Will increase fps a lot. Can also pull the fuse for the co-pilot PFD.
Guess it depends case by case. I have a low-end spec (1660 Super) but disabling the standby instrument gives me only +1 FPS. Though Iāve seen other people reporting 20+ and moreā¦

Worked. Thanks!!
Despite buying on Christmas Eve, I just got my first flight in today in VR - Fenland to Boston Aerodrome (Boardsides) which is a very short, narrow strip running along the edge of a rugby pitch, via RAF Coninsgby - which was full of Kodiaks on the apron! 
Weather was really lousy - but the aircraft was absolutely magic. Despite not being keen on glass cockpits I can see myself spending a lot of time in this model (relatively speaking - my flight time is hugely limited these days for health reasons).
I was a little concerned, especially after some customer reports on flight dynamics behaviour, that it wouldnāt be as good as the LHC Kodiak I fly in FSX/P3D but itās far better.
Only downer is that we donāt have an amphib.
Big bonus is the excellent spinning prop textures, especially in bad weather - please explain to Asobo how itās done!

Apologies if this has been discussed - but is the frame rate in the cockpit much lower in this plane than most? When I go external view Iām pulling down 55+ frames but I get mid-30ās in the cockpit. Fun plane to fly but the cockpit frame drop is jarring somewhat.
Hmmā¦havenāt noticed anything like that. The Kodiak seems pretty frame rate friendly.
Interesting. Iāve never had this issue with any orher plane before so Iām not sure whatās causing it. Thanks for the feedback
Iāve heard that pulling the fuse for the backup instruments has the effect of reducing the load on the simulator, thus raising the frame rate.
Maybe give that a try?

Thanks! I will give that a go
Thank you - this gave me about 8-9 FPS. Interesting. This is much betterā¦ appreciate it.

Hey which is the Co-pilot PFD fuse?
I canāt seem to locate it
My JF Arrows give me a solid 60fps but the Kodidak drop me down to 35fps!
The Altidue indicator got me back to 50 Iām hoping the cp PFD will get me another 10fps back!
On the far left side of the fuse panel, about half way down from the top you will see 2 5 amp fusesā¦the upper one is for the left hand PFD, the lower one is for the right side PFD (if you zoom in the label says something like navigation number 2 or something like that).

Iām in VR and no issue with frame rate. Seems comparable to other planes with EFIS. I tried popping the circuit breaker with no change in FPS. This is in VR which works really well with the Kodiak.

Does deactivating the co-pilot PFD actually improve FPS? I havenāt tried that one - since itās just mirroring the pilot PFD I would assume any performance difference would be tiny to none. Turning off the STBY ATT gives me an extra 5-10 FPS though, been doing that since day 1.
Itās pretty CPU heavy, so Iām guessing you have a higher end CPU with the headroom to run it without much of a performance hit.
True, other than the indicator lights of the autopilot, and the AoA indexer lights being completely invisible in VR (G2, everything on 100% and ultra here)

Just out of curiosity, if you move your head toward the center of the aircraft, do the lights become visible then? I ask because I noticed the same thing with the comm 1/2 indicator lights on the default 172, right after the last update. I thought the lights werenāt working at all, but happened to notice them out of the corner of my eye once, then found out that they would appear as my head moved toward the right, from the normal left-seat position, and would disappear again as I moved my head back. It almost felt like there was an obstacle between my eyes and the lights. Just wondering if this is a new sim issue, rather than an airplane-specific issue.

It is exactly as you describe! However, I have not found a way to make the AoA indexer lights appear consistently, no matter how I move my head!
