Regarding the frame rate issue, it appears that the LM team has been able to reproduce but only if using higher P3D Graphics settings.  You can learn more about this by visting http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6312&t=133165&start=60  and read page 4 and on in their forums.  There is some good advice for those seeing an fps reduction!   Best wishes.
