Hi, welcome to the forum.

In YSflight, menu lag is kind of the norm. But, when picking an aircraft, uncheck all of the catagorys, that might boost fps for you in the aircraft selection.

^ It also depends on the version you have. My computer hates versions newer than 2012 and so I run 2011 and it is very smooth.

Downgrade to 2012 version lol.

Every version since has been overkill on lag.

When flying hit 'ctrl' then '1' or 'fast' the 'enter'. That should give you low details but good fps.

Make sure you aren't running any high CPU using programs.

Also in task manager you can change priority and that should give you an extra 2-5fps

From my experience (Intel Core i5 7th gen and intel Celeron), the Dogfight settings are the most laggy part. Usually takes about 15 secs or so. More RAM and a SSD helped.
I recommend just waiting for it to load...
