P3D V5 VR Framerate

Curious as to what y'all do to get the best framerates in P3D V5 VR. I have a Rift S and while I can get a steady 40 fps (1/2 the 80 max) with simpler planes, over really nice scenery I get closer to 20-30 fps in planes like the DC Designs F/A-18E. Flyable, but jerky updates.

Turning off automobile traffic helped a lot, and I haven't gotten around to replacing any stock AI yet. Running OrbX PNW and the Drzewiecki Design Seattle City/Airports X.

Would love to hear what graphics, detail, etc. settings y'all have found have the most direct effects on P3D V5 framerates.

Computer is a Core i9-9900X with an RTX 2080TI, so it's not anemic hardware at fault. :)
 
Thank you for sharing those settings, YoYo! That's exactly what I was hoping to see -- detailed examples from someone who has it running smoothly. I'll try working those in tonight.

Just one thing.
About Motion Reprojection - for me I have better result with "Forced ON" not "Auto/ON".
 
Still getting bad, jumpy FPS around Seattle. With the next patch around the corner, I'll just try a fresh reinstall then and see if I can tweak the new version.
 
I find I get bad stuttering with a Rift S if ASW is turned on. I've used Oculus tray to to set a profile for P3d with it turned off, but for some reason it still defaults to on. I have to make sure I manually turn it off. I'm using a 9700x with a 2070.

Same here Dave. Rift S stutters with ASW on, nice and smooth with it set to off in tray tool.
I don't have to manually turn it off though, as long as tray tool is running it works. I have the box for "audio confirmation when profile is applied" checked in tray tool.
 
I found the killer: It was FTX Global Vector. If you turn off all the roads, railroads, etc. and just let it do the coastlines, VR framerates remain smooth. Turn that stuff on and VR is a stuttery mess.

Now with the tips above (like turning off ASW) I can maintain a steady 40 fps even in the worst case area (Seattle with add-ons).
