BEST FPS TOOL FOR VR IN MSFS! 

re: " One thing that surprised me is that I didn't think I could live with going lower than 40-50 FPS,..." Same here. In my early testing I knew that I was breaking ground on a new way of looking at the sim and a whole new paradigm regarding performance ... or should I say "perceived performance". Recently, MSFS would report that it was delivering 65 FPS, but I hated the experience. The frames would "gallop"... I would get 20 or so frames in quick succession, then a micro-pause, then a few more frames... then a stutter, all happening within the same second. So yeah, just counting the raw numbers, I got 65 FPS. It says 65 FPS, but you still can't stand it. You know the drill. So we go on some witch hunt blaming who-knows-what for something we don't fully understand. I knew my brain preferred equally-spaced frames where each frame had the same amount of on-screen-time... but I never thought I would prefer 25-35 FPS over 65FPS just because of that. Seriously, who would, right? 60 or 70 FPS should be amazing. As you might imagine, the first time this happened, I was dumb-struck and had to double-check all my data 3 times. But ever since then, the focus of this app is to promote that experience. And not be just some "More FPS" type of thing. This is driven by the immersion - especially in VR. Thanks ArkansasBound for letting me hijack your comment! :) But I thought some might enjoy a bit of behind-the-scenes look at how this came about.

I think you got it right.. The actual FPS was always below the target FPS, so it would have been trying to reduce load the whole flight, but was limited by the Lower limit of TLOD (22) and OLOD(100)

@@somewhereelsestudio6342 yep. His Target FPS was between 35-38 but he was only hitting 31-32 FPS....He should have set his FPS range between 30- 32 or there abouts.

I set my target range between 29-31 and it works great

Thanks for the feedback dapage68. I have a horrible 2-D monitor so I get very limited testing time in flat-panel mode. The system gets a full workout in VR mode, so it's good to see that those who fly in 2D mode get decent results too. And who ever thought that MSFS was capable of 100FPS? When VR was first supported and we were getting 15 FPS, I really didn't think we would ever get to "here"

Check and make sure you dont have hdr set to on in windows graphics settings
