With the same settings you used (everything maxed with mesh at 76m and texture resolution at 1m), it stayed at 15-20 fps with water at 2x HIGH.. lol! With water at 2x LOW, however, it was locked at 30 fps (25-28 at the airport) very smooth flight. That is with traffic at 59% (WoAI)
I liked the performance with your settings, but I have to set the mesh at 10m for FS Genesis and I like the texture resolutions at the airports so I set the texture resolution at max.
