Hello BLSp33dy,
Does your external monitor have a higher resolution than your laptop's native monitor? A major difference in the resolution could be the cause of the fps difference.

My monitor is 144hz and my laptop is 75hz, could that be the problem?

Re: Massive fps drop on switch view (Monitor)
Maybe your laptop is falling back to intel graphics for some reason. You may want to check gpu power profiles and make sure it's choosing Prepar3D. Can you describe this in more detail? Are you getting good FPS on the mointor before changing camera views, or are you saying that FPS drops when moving the window to that monitor?
Thanks
