When X-Plane on Linux doesn't work as expected, systematic diagnosis helps. This page points to the relevant sections of the documentation.
Performance Issues
FPS drops, stutter, and bottlenecks are covered in:
GPU Crashes (Device Loss)
A device loss is a GPU crash, signaled by VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST. Causes, debugging challenges, and Aftermath diagnostics are explained in:
- Definition and causes of device losses
- Why GPU debugging is difficult (asynchronous execution, limited tools)
--aftermathfor detailed GPU crash analysis- Common misconceptions (VRAM is not the cause)
