As a benchmark I now get 16-18ms render times in Maupiti harbour. This is on a VIVE PRO2 running at full resolution of 2536 x 2536 @ 120hz per eye in Steam VR on a 2080ti.

Gameplay feels perfectly smooth although there is some reprojection happening it doesn't seem to be noticeable in game.

The biggest variation of fps in VR seems to be cloud level. Denser cloud formations do cause a slow down. I will be adding some configuration options so you can tweak clouds to your liking/system specs.
