MSFS 2020 Add-Ons: Which Ones Hurt Your FPS?

Today we’re looking at popular add-ons for MSFS 2020 to see which ones impact your FPS numbers. We’ll start with the default Airbus A320neo at the default version of Gatwick Airport, introduce the Fenix A320 and PMDG 737-800, bring in hand crafted versions of Airports, GSX and of course, VATSIM with model matched provided by FSLTL. We try to asses which ones are the heavy hitters in terms of dropping your FPS and explore how MSFS 2024 could potentially help us out once it launches in November.
