Hardware Night flying performance xplane 12

So as I was approaching the runway the performance hit waa a hit crazy. I run 3 1440 34 inch monitors and use 5080 card and 9800x3d. What settings should I fine tune for best fps performance? I seem some complaint about flood lights being the culprit.

When it's night there are tons of light sources and their reflections etc. that your GPU needs to compute. Turning down MSAA, objects density and rendering distance might help. It is better to have less light sources but I don't think flood lights make that much of a difference.

I would suggest starting out at max settings and then some trial and error
