Regarding using more than 60FPS on a 60Hz monitor: it can still be beneficial if you have framedrops below 60FPS or, if your frame pacing is so inconsistent that you would regularly get (long-)frames displayed for more than the 16.66ms your monitor supports. Because many, many games have this "issue" of long-frames, it is usually still worth to have more FPS generated than the actual refresh rate of the monitor or, lets put it the other way around, why it can still seems mother with 120FPS compared to 60FPS even on a 60Hz monitor. That is why limiting the FPS to a suitable refresh rate might be resulting in super smooth experience. If you are really capable of having 100% of your frame rate above the limit and/or no long-frames above the refresh rate threshold.

Thanks for the misleading post. What resolution are you using? TLOD?

Nothing misleading. 4k TAA with FG 30/60 and about 300 most of the time. When flying Airliners out of big Airports I go down to 140 or so.

So with a 60hz monitor what the best practice is to lock your FPS at 30fps and then use frame gen to double that to 60fps.

30fps is not recommended with FG - bit low.

it's not recommended for fast paced first person shooters I will agree but for flight sims it works amazing.

This creates frames pacing issues though? Especially noticeable when using some kind of head tracking or g-sync. 

Head tracking yes, Gsync no, it is actually exactly the scenario where Gsync should shine: variable frametimes translated into variable FPS. In theory, if the variance is huge, Gsync wont be perfect neither

EDIT: Nevermind.
