    Hi I don't know where to turn to ask these questions so I'm here, because I've been flying a BA 787-8 for the past few weeks and flying between the US and Canada so and now my problem is that I put most of my MSFS The special effects settings "turned off" or turned to "low", but I still only get an FPS between 20-30. I hope someone can help. Thank you.
    My PC setup :
    AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX
    Nvidia RTX4060 GDDR6 8GB Laptop
    32GB RAM
    3TB SSD

        It’s something I’ve said since release. The 787-8 is very frame heavy. I’ve done a fps comparison with the A330, 777, 787-10, 787-9 and BravoAirSpace 788. Different planes same livery, same airport and default clear weather. Wasn’t even a comparison. The BravoAirSpace 788 pulled 10-15 more fps than any other plane. The CapSim 777 was the best. a330 second best. With the 4Simmers being third worst Asobo -10 being second worst and Bravo being the worst as for fps. I love the plane but it causes rendering issues and fps drops. I’ve actually had to set it aside. I tried to do a flight from DAAG to EHAM but the rendering was so bad I had to switch planes. Great plane and a top notch group of developers in my opinion but the plane fps footprint is huge. I tried using the optimized version and it actually had more lag and frame drops. So I just parked it. Very disappointing. I’ve been waiting for this for a while.

          Okay, I've heard you both.

          I have a list of elements that can be done to improve the lag. I think also Ying-Cheng Su has a great laptop because it's basically my specs where I run the plane smoothly. But I do not use 4k monitor.
          Also, I've watched multiple streamers fly with her on PC and XBOX X and it seems to operate well.

          I naturally always focus on the settings of the user because this can be a serious issue.
          For example, there was a simple option in the graphics section that, as soon as I removed and ticked it off, MSFS worked twice as smoothly.

          It can be that we are using way too many textures. And you said that the optimized version was worse?

          Any chance I can see some video clips operating the plane and showing me the graphic settings?

            Guys, what airport sceneries do you guys use and other add-ons running in the background?

                Real trees and the airport was default Asobo Cologne which is very frame friendly.

                1. Okay. Please give me time to get to these optimizations.

                      Francis I’m not complaining. I understand the process.

                      1. He understands, he wasn't saying you were complaining.

                          Thank you. Let me see what I can do. These systems are way too heavy on memory, even on a gaming laptop. Also, I noticed a mandatory update that really slowed me down on PC and Xbox S. But regardless, I have to focus on what I can achieve.
