VR Video of 4/13 MT Update

FPS drops to 36 in some spots, but the MT theoretical FPS is 97 when that happens. I have the DCS settings cranked pretty high. At higher altitudes, I get FPS in the  70s and 80s. 

I created a batch script to start DCS:

#delete data that might hinder MT
rd /s /q "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS.openbeta"

#probably not necessary. working correctly w/o deleting
rd /s /q "C:\Users\<user>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\fxo"
rd /s /q "C:\Users\<user>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\metashaders2"

#start DCS with high cpu priority
%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c start /high "" "D:\DCS World OpenBeta\bin-mt\DCS.exe" --force_OpenXR 

I have a shortcut that points to the batch file.

Doesn't clearing the metashaders and fxo cause a rebuild of all the shaders on the fly which then slows down DCS?

It should at least slow down the initial startup. I don't think it's good practice to delete those everytime you run DCS...

It was suggested by someone when I was bound in the cpu main thread. I don't really notice any slow down. It could be my rig handles it; I'm patient; or a little of both.

It might not even be necessary now. I'll have to experiment and see.
