looks like its from aerotune, but not sure.

also try backing out of fullscreen mode before exiting sim then close ouit in windowed mode.

Thanks for the detailed instructions.

Sounds like it might be something running in the background, other program, antivirus, ?

Praying you have a full and lasting recovery🙏

Would the Quest 3 passthrough be helpful in what your trying to do?

tried it and removed it the minute I tried it. to much clutter and overdone. they towers stuck out like a sore thumb in the scenery. Just my opinion.

I must say your humility, with sincerity is refreshing. there is freedom in confession and repentance. and there is grace in forgiveness.

try going to settings/accounts/sign-in options/pin-windows hello, then select remove this option, to use account password. If that don't work you can Google "windows pin not working". Good Luck.

If you haven't already try turning on dx12.

I would start by lowering my texture res, it pounds the vram, when the vram gets full, stutters start. Not sure how much vram the 3060 has but with a 4080 texture res on high the card was eating over 14gb of vram around NY.

Not really sure how significant of an improvement your looking for but if it helps any i went from a G2 to a Quest 3 and overall I'm OK with it. Not overly taxing on my system. But there are other options available out there, from what i hear that are significantly better. This might be helpful to you: VRcompare - The Internet's Largest VR & AR Headset Database.

Not sure about the cpu but the RTX 4060 seems a little lite for MSFS 2024, with any significant addons.
