What is the frame rate for FlightGear?

Performance in FlightGear

It's easier to tell you what you should aim at: at least 20 FPS (frames per second). Under this value, things get very choppy and especially flying VFR will be more difficult. A much more decent value is 30 FPS, also to face better possible stuttering.
