You can simply copy and paste the profile in Flightgear Qt launcher > Settings tab > Additional Settings . This is a minimum startup profile. After using it, you can turn up settings one by one as performance allows - and observe your performance bottlenecks. See Hardware recommendations for discussion of performance bottlenecks.
