But that seemingly requires a Navigraph subscription?

Ok, received answers. For the simbrief flightplan import and automatic fuel/payload loading, both a simbrief and navigraph account (both free) are required. You do not need a navigraph subscription.

Apparently this is all explained the the documentation in the, go figure, "documentation" folder 😁. I haven't read it myself haha, or I would have pointed you there in the first place. Sorry lol.

Most of these issues are coming from old liveries hanging around. Be sure you follow the install instructions to the letter, to nuke every bit of old liveries first. For reference, I easily hold 60fps in cruise with FSR3 frame gen on, everything high or ultra, on an i9 and 3070. Without frame gen, 45fps is still easy. So you've got some kind of conflict happening.

I'm baffled as to why so many are experiencing these performance issues when none of the beta team seemed to encounter it.
I was thinking it may have been a last moment edit by the devs in the last RC build before release and we didn't get a lot of time to fly/test it....but I've flown a dozen flights since release with no change in my excellent performance (7800x3d, 32gb slow ram, 4070ti and above moderate settings).

I saw someone mention in our discord it was generally happening in the 8200 model...but that is the one I fly almost exclusively with my Allegiant paint (and they fly out of my home airport KPIE).
Some also said that the memory gets eaten as the flight progresses...some saying its down to 15-20 frames after 20 mins. All my flights are generally 1-3 hours, and I've never experienced this.

Maybe the folks who are knowledgeable about these things will get the dev team some good info when reporting their findings on their machines.

I know for a fact that if you jump into a flight after installing, without the proper exits and reboots before trying an actual flight, you'll get abysmal performance.

I deleted everything, only liveries I have so far are for the 8200

I'll try the standard model tomrrow

Maybe they didn’t uninstall properly? I’ll be sure to try and uninstall the aircraft and liveries prior to installing the new update…

Is GSX compatible with iFly 737? I tried to push back via GSX and airplane tip over on its tail .

I don't use GSX, so I don't know anything about that.

I agree with Steve about the performance problems; this looks to be very user-specific, but it does appear that something is not playing well with some systems. It's just so bizarre that no one experienced it in beta; there have to have been at least three or four dozen beta testers on the team. Obviously there are more than that many different user system configurations, but what bad luck no one experienced it earlier.

It'll be figured out.

Any word on a GSX Pro update for seated passengers to appear correctly in the cabin for iFly SP1?
