[FPS starts at 25+ and drops to 10- after a few seconds]

There is a lot of range within the Intel MacBook Pro 15/16" line. The 5300M is significantly below the 5500M in terms of performance, so I'm guessing that is being maxed out, while the CPU is being loaded pretty heavily as well. I'd recommend making sure all other applications besides X-Plane are closed when trying to run.

Nothing else is running, not even other plugins. And since iniBuild's A310 and A300 run fine (even with plugins), as well as Hotstart's TBM900, I don't see why the SR22 wouldn't run on my MacBook. Those three are not the lightest planes either.

So it's been a few months and no answer. So far I haven't flown a single mile with this plane and I'd love to get a response, please.

I just bought the SR22, but so far I can't fly it. The FPS hardly ever gets above 10, and that is without plugins and custom scenery, and even turning all graphic settings to the lowest.
I think I have about the same MacBook Pro as @Coop has (he mentioned the 5500M, I have the 5300M). So the 10 FPS doesn't make sense...

Sorry for the late reply, I was away (vacation) for a few weeks. I'll check your suggestions.

Also, it appears this is isolated to some Mac's.

I have a MacBook Pro 16inch (2019) with a AMD Radeon Pro 5300M 4 GB, if that helps.

Now this is interesting. If I turn on HDR for visual effects in the graphics settings of X-Plane everything is fine (with Metal). One step lower gives the trouble mentioned above.

I have to say, I like the idea.

I think since version 11.53 or so I can't use the TBM-900 anymore using Metal on the Mac. See screenshots for what I mean (notice the menu on the left and the lever on the right).

Things I tried:

- remove plugins and custom scenery

- switch between windowed mode and full screen

Turning Metal off solves the problem, but for performance reasons that's not really an option for me.

Edit: after a while X-Plane crashed by itself, something with the TBM according to the log, so added that log as well.
