Grass runways cause FPS drop for Aircraft

Hi guys

I am new on this forum so I am hoping someone can help. I have started developing gliders for MSFS and so far have launched my first project, an AS33 Me.

The biggest issue we have though that I cannot seem to find a fix for is we get a massive FPS drop each time you use a grass runway. Its fine from asphalt, but the moment you use grass it will drop from 60 to about 40-44. If you then take off or land again in the same flight it will drop further to about 20-25 FPS and eventually if you land and then take off again from a grass runway in the same flight it drops below 10 FPS.

Model is about 200k tris and I have the environment occluder on the cockpit to block out the grass. Removing the occluder does not help.

Thanks

Madolo
