The simulation starts with a good frame rate >80, after 3-5 minutes frame rate drops to <20.  Pausing for 1-2 minutes restores frame rate and it gradually drops again.

How to fix?

I have once heard of a similiar problem, that one was due to the laptop computer overheating while running X-Plane.

Good luck, Jan

Yes, that was the problem.  I cleaned the ventilation ports, now works fine.  Thank you.
