I'm running direct mode and the 0.5.0.1 runtime with FlyInside 0.17 (which I think is the same as the alpha version but don't know for certain).
Can you post your specs or put them in your signature? If you have any bug reports it helps Dan to localize problems.
I have been trying to sort out hyperthreading and the affinity mask to get FSX its own cores free and clear. It makes a huge difference for me on frame rates. Depending on what CPU you have it might help you out too. The 4000 kb/s setting in OBS is a compromise between video quality and not bogging down the rest of my system too much. Depending on specs, you may need to run at lower bps.
But something else that can make a huge difference is what kind of antivirus you are running, if yours is an OEM Windows build with all sorts of crapware bundled in (for free!), or what other software you might have running in the background. Just by what I have seen for myself with FSX, anything sharing a CPU core with it is bad juju and can really impact performance.
