We ran performance tests comparing this livery to the default iFly livery. While it's commonly referred to as an "8K" livery, that's not entirely accurate—only about 6-12 textures (depending on the specific livery) are actually upscaled beyond the default resolution. It's a bit difficult to explain the nuances, so we generally just label it as "8K."
In our side-by-side testing, we observed no measurable FPS difference between this livery and the default. At most, downscaling those textures to 4K or below would likely reduce VRAM usage by roughly 300-400 MB, but again, our testing did not show any performance improvement from doing so.
iFly has identified several areas within the aircraft itself that are impacting performance and is currently working on updates to address those issues.
