I just found out what was the cause of my low fps and it wasn't SkyMaxx

I was advice by a user on Reddit ( Sethos ) to disable the extended scenery. I immediately went from 30 fps at cruising altitude to 50 fps with no stutters. This one option was causing me so many problems for months and I never realized this could be the culprit of all my fps issues. Just thinking about all the time I've spent complaining that SkyMaxx lowers my fps and in the end, it wasn't even the culprit. To all the users who have low fps issues check if you have this option enabled and disable it. Couple it with Ventura Sky and you won't even notice much difference.

I currently have the draw distance set to 20000 and my fps are above 40
