I do love the Fenix and this sounds like a great update but I still find it quite hard on frames compared to Pmdg or other aircraft I fly. Do others find this too? Any suggestions specific to fenix?

1 Use 4k Textures only ( in the Fenix Livery App)

2 In the Fenix app lower the rendering quality from Quality to the next lower level ( balanced if i remember correctly)

3 Change the rendering hardware from your primary discrete graphics card to either the cpu or the integrated gpu if available and measure to see which mode provides better performance on your system.

After doing these things and some objective testing i find that the PMDG and the Fenix give relatively similar performance.

The livery installer app ? there is a drop down box to select either 8k or 4k textures when searching for liveries.
