Thank you for this article - I have been struggling to fly with X-Plane11 on my 2.6GHz Core i7, 16GB, Late 2012 Mac Mini.

When I ran the 1280x720 benchmark 1 with:

open -a X-Plane.app --args --fps_test=1 --load_smo=Output/replays/test_flight_c4.fdr --pref:_is_ful_ALL=1 --pref:_x_res_full_ALL=1280 --pref:_y_res_full_ALL=720 --pref:_bpp_full_ALL=32

My result of:
FRAMERATE TEST: time=93.5, frames=2162, fps=23.12
GPU LOAD: time=93.5, wait=5.7, load=6.1%

helped me to realize I needed to set it for 1280x720 windowed, and not stretch my window height so much. I am now able to run at 20-23fps with a sim ratio of 1.0.

Thank You - I CAN FLY!

Advanced flight simulation. The X-Plane series is a stalwart in the commercial flight simulation market, and X-Plane 11 marks the latest iteration. It uses an advanced physics engine that mixes hard-coded data with aerodynamics to simulate realistic flight. When cranking up the settings the engine is heavily taxing on the graphics card and processor, which is particularly notable for its reliance on single-threaded CPU performance. The scope and scale of the game make it an ideal candidate for assessing system performance.
