Is there a way to reduce resorce usage in this game? I put all settings to minimum, vsynch, and still GPU usage goes >75% and temps >80°C. Dell laptop with Nvidia GTX 1050.

hmmm... that is strange and shouldn't be happening. i am assuming this is isolated to the game, and nothing else going on in the background. there is an option for the framerate limiter. open the game files, and in the MOD folder, there is a text file that has the game config data. open that file and set the VSYNC to 0 and the framerate to 30.
you can check the ingame framerate by pressing the END key. this will open the debug panel.
i'm on nvidia GTX 970m and it runs great.... so it has to be something weird.

OPTION_framerate;10.0
But it has no effect (framerate is around 60 even with vsynch off).

in the options make sure the VSYNC is turned off... this will activate the framerate limiter.
in your savegame folder SAVES / PILOTNAME / player_options.txt
WORLD_OPTIONS_target_framerate;60
change that to 30.

Ok thanks I could do it. It's a bit confusing that there are different settings for player/global, I had to disable both global and player vsynch to make it work.
