Just wanted to put this out there for benchmarking, see if anyone had any similar numbers or comments (or suggestions to squeeze out more fps
Overall, the experience was really smooth. I will say I noticed a bit of jutter when the FPS would dip into the 30-40s, mainly noticeable when looking at the ground, and only intermittently. Largest overall FPS killer seemed to be clouds (of course).
Addons: REX Texture Direct, REX Soft Clouds, FTX Trees HD, MegaSceneryEarth 4x, Treeline North America
Cloud settings: 100mi draw, Natural, Detailed, High density
Nothing on the ground seemed to matter to FPS once I was a couple hundred up.
CPU usage: avg 100% on 3/4 cores
GPU usage: avg 60%
Rough FPS:
Clear sky: 70-85 FPS
Partially Cloudy: 55-70 FPS
Storm: 35-65 FPS
