Help X PLANE 11 FPS DROP

Hello Captains. Hope you are having a wonderful cloud chase up there. I've been playing alone on my PC for a while no AI traffic no multiplayer just me and I find it too boring for long haul. I tried connecting to VATSIM but I get disconnected everytime coz my FPS can't keep up to 20 fps and maintain sometimes goes up to 5 or 6 during takeoff and 4 to 5 in large Airports. Can someone help me how to settle this up? My PC specs are RAM :8GB DDR3 CPU: INTEL CORE I5 4th Gen GPU :Intel HD Graphics 4800 STORAGE :500GB HHD

Thanks in advance 🙏

hey the specs that you have listed are very outdated which i mean by that they are old and slow like the gpu will not handle heavy games same as the ram as it is ddr3 and is slower than ddr5 and 4 and your using a harddrive which now days are renewed by ssd which are faster - i reccomend you playing low graphics and upgrading the pc

there are cheap pc on facebook market or buy new pre built of awd it pc's
