It also could be location. I tend to fly in heavily built up areas, and over major airports, even though I can get better frames by flying over forests (and stuff)

Well seems my update has not worked I have no new drop down menu on my bar... just the same as before when I right click on the view...

Same here. I updated and double checked to see that I was flying 4.1. Everything worked smoothly except that I now cannot use VR at all in the sim. It doesn't work AT ALL, and I've seen a lot of other people experiencing this same problem.

Nope tryed it again....any hint of autogen will cause performance loss....I was running with no Autogen on that's why.

Still horrible performance as 4.0

Just made my first VR flight in 4.1 from 4.0.  VR flight is smoother on my system.  Activating VR was easy from the menu bar at the top of the screen.  Very nice having VR view in the spot view categories.  Nice change to the VR mouse pointer +.  The VR mouse pointer is now a dot and is a single image.  The dot brightens when position it over a click spot, making it very easy to use.  Overall, I am very happy with the update.

For many of us, we've not seeing the VR tab at the top of the screen, even though we're definitely running 4.1. I'm sure this will be solved soon. Thus far, there seems to be no common denominator among those suffering this bug.

For some reason, many VR users who have upgraded to v4.1 are not seeing the VR tab. There are multiple reports and threads about this bug on the LM forum.

Hello all, just solved mine somehow, downloaded latest nVidia drivers, installed, rebooted without rifit on, reconnected rift, ran p3d and the menu is there and working!?!?!
Good luck!

Love the easy implementation of VR on the menu bar. Seamlessly can go in and out. Great now you can use any camera for VR. I kidnapped my avatar by taking over his body and now doing a walkaround the aircraft is fantastic. Just did it for PMDGs 747 and it's as real as it gets. 

 

Also upgraded to VR with client install and worked without a problem.

Too funny!   lol

I just updated by NVidia 1070 driver and that solved the problem. The VR menu suddenly appeared and all is working well.

I use an I5 2500k at 4.5 ghz with a 980TI card.  My setting are very dense or dense.  Most places are very smooth.  The most troublesome is KSEA which is flyable but does studder.
