Intense lag on final

I was on approach at ZGGG just a few minutes ago but as soon as I was on final, my game started to lag intensely out of nowhere, having about 1 frame lasting every 3 seconds. I had to do a go-around, and in the meantime, cleared out the cache data as well as switching back and forth between mobile data and Wifi.

But it did nothing to solve the issue because as soon as I went for a 2nd final, it starts all over again, possibly even worse than last time. It was so unbearable that I had to stop my flight when I was about to land. (Even exiting back to main menu took me more than 10 seconds).

Nothing like this has happened throughout the entire flight, descent, or even before my turn to final, even when the 3D airport spawned. This is the 2nd time that this exact scenario has happened to me within this week, the last time being when RKSI was on ATC schedule.

Can someone figure out why this is happening?

Device: iPhone 13
Operating system: iOS 18.1.1

Hey there!

By the sounds of it this lag issue is mostly happening in busy airspaces around the “HUB”.

The iPhone 13 is definitely getting on in age - its over 3 years old now hardware-wise. What graphics, object and aircraft density settings are you using because chances are it probably can’t handle the highest settings anymore without getting FPS drops.

Rendering Quality - High
Object Density - High
Rendering Reso - High
Texture Quality - High

Airplane Count - Very High

I guess your explanation of the iPhone 13’s age does sort explain why I never had this lag before.

Yeah I would definitely turn those down to Medium - that should help with the FPS and lag issues.
