I think it's fine, there's hardly any posts currently.

I have a 5800X3D, 3090, and 32GB of RAM which gets me 40-50 fps with the game at 4K with ultra settings and downscaled to 1440p on a Gsync monitor. I run FSLTL for traffic, and sometimes it'll get down to 30 fps at a busy airport. It's a heavy game for sure, but 30 fps is actually fairly tolerable as long as it's consistent.

Hmmm, I can almost do that. My gaming desktop is showing its years in that regard though.

Thanks for the info!

Mind that you absolutely don´t need 4k ultra settings to be able to enjoy the sim though! As long as you have a CPU with devent single thread speed, enough ram and a GPU with a bit of vram, you can still run it at medium or high and it will be just as fun.

Very very true. I'm running the sim on my 6 year old PC I built. It's got a 7700k with a 1070 GTX and 32GB of RAM. Runs the sim impressively well at 1440p and medium and high settings. Blows me away it's doing as well as it is. I've got nearly 500 hours in the sim too and performance has really never been an issue for me (it hasn't detracted from my overall enjoyment of the sim).
