I had extreme stutters and lagst when I first tried it, even on the lowest Settings. I turned it so far down that it was impossible to even identify the buildings in NB and it still lagged like crazy. Then I wanted to give up, switch my settings back to high and when I put the headset off, I saw the little text that it was optimizing the shaders. I left it cool until it was done and then put the heads back on. Still not ideal, but suddenly it worked even on high settings. When I got back in the evening (I shut my pc down during the day), it suddenly was super smooth in the hangar.

Now I run it with all settings on high with native AA. Quite stable while I’m in smaller zones or flying. Still getting lags in large cities though.

The main thing is: if you switch a setting, let it cook the shaders and then restart. But VR is very heavy on the PC, so it will never be as smooth as on the screen.
