This person is running a Quest 3 at 64% resolution.

So... CRISP, yeah?

That is very low, I think comfortable minimum as GPU goes is a 5070ti. I can run Korea at 72hz  with quest 3 without reducing resolution, just cutting my vertical and horizontal fov. Only in  CPU hogging situations I see my FPS goes below 72 Hz like cities, zooming at objects  on airfields or other players planes,  having grass on airfields, meeting huge AI bombers formation.

When flying over cities with the cockpit view, the frame rate drops significantly. When switching to the external view, the frame rate is normal.

Welcome to the world of hyper detailed cockpits.

The cockpit is not the problem. It does not change over cities and is fluid high up.

Read what he said... In external no problem, in the cockpit, framerate drop.   It's because his computer cannot handle both the cockpit and the flight over the city.

It's additive.  His rig can do one or the other, but not both.

Wow. It never occurred to me that the cockpit was such a huge load. 😮

I have some doubts that it‘s so easy that you can just add the ‚single loads’ but of course cockpit detail level plays a role for fps.

Well. This is interesting question and I‘ll do some experiments with this 🙂

Yeah no, the cockpits are better than GB, but still several levels below DCS. There's no reason Korea cockpits should demand so much power.

Care to qualify why they are 'several levels below DCS' or provide any evidence to support that? I personally find them a bit superior to the Mi-24P and Su-25T etc.

Probably has shadows on too, they're a huge hit even turning them on in the hanger while bench marking, which is crazy.  Every level of shadows does the same hit, hopefully fixed in the patch, we'll see.

Just a few, like the F-4 Phantom II , which costs as much as the entire game. Also, DCS cockpits don't use PBR textures, Korea Mig15 is better that DCS one IMHO

DCS  mig is about as old as GB. And hasn't gotten an update since relase. And the question wasn't about price. Just that the graphics doesn't warrant any major drop in preformance.

Not the graphics, but the cockpit systems simulation suffered from FPS drops and has since been optimized.

I can't think of a single DCS cockpit that doesn't use PBR.

And about the price per module: make informed comparisons or don't make them at all, they just add to the confusion.

Roughly 85% of the VR performance "issues" summed up: 

Hey, I bought this $2000k headset from Pimax and the 5090 to go with it, I am running 16000x16000 pixels with no DLSS, and I can't even get 90 fps stable, even though I get 120 fps in a game from 2013?

Sadly, there is a PIMAX headset pictured in this blog post, so the devs are kind of asking for it.
