Any undocumented tweaks to improve frame rate?

I’m trying to play this on a potato laptop. So far I have lowered everything but still barely breaking 30FPS

Hey 👋

Do you have enough storage space on ur pc? Enough of Ram (requirements to run the sim), graphics settings, or optimization...

4GB and definitely enough free space on the SSD.

Like I said, the computer is very weak. I need to tweak the game beyond the settings.

Complex Cockpits seem to be the worst FPS reducing culprit

Try low visibility instead of any clouds. Avoid complex planes and complex airports and sunset/dawn all together.

(30 fps should be fine for a flight sim unless you are doing vigorous aerobatics or supersonic mountain passes.)

I’m doing that. I am using the sim mostly for helicopters and get 40FPS on the R22 but in the 30s with occasional dips in the 20s on the EC135. I think for helicopters the higher the FPS the easier to fly .
