Just thought I'd throw this tip out to everyone that 'Game Mode' improves frame rates in VR.  Once 'on' you have make sure no other apps are running on your desktop (exception being FS specific apps like FSRealistic, VR headset software, etc).  Don't have open or use Edge at the time of launch or you'll have a long time getting to FS's main menu.  Using Chrome won't affect launching the sim but you'll find your sim crashing at some point during usage.  You basically have to get used to FS being the only thing basically running while you use it.  From there you'll find VR performance improved more that before. This is what I found on my system after upgrading from 10 to 11.  This alone made the switch all that more worth while.  I'm curious to hear others experience with this.

I use game mode with Windows 11 but don't see any difference in performance or stability whether I run MSFS by itself or with a whole bunch of other apps running (eg. usually Firefox with about 30 tabs, Chrome with about 3 tabs, LittleNavMap, Discord, Windows Explorer, Volanta, Landing Rate Monitor).

That's why I posted to see others feedback.👍

It's possibly a VRAM capacity thing. I do remember when I had my 3080 10GB that shutting down external apps seemed to improve smoothness.
