UPDATED TO V14 for DCS 2.7 10/22/2021 Longer ship trails. IC Fail version ONLY. All ships moving at 11kts Tested in a turn. Reference used

No mod is "done" as long as ED keeps updating. Nothing new I'm working on currently but I might try to adjust some of the new effects.

This mod doesn't touch metashaders.

Didn't realize I had an NVG mod.

Just delete MissionEditor folder from the mod. File is updated too. May have to refresh or delete your browser cache.

Seems like ED now encrypted /Bazar/shaders/metashaders/

I had same issue. It first said I couldn't log in to Steam when I tried launching SteamVR. I rebooted and logging into Steam worked. But then DCS gave me the Authorization issues on A10C and Ka-50 only. Only two of the modules that were transferred from Steam to Standalone. I had to re-bind the Steam account in DCS profile using the link below. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/personal/profile/

I don't think there's a way to do it in ME. You can try:

I think the point is that difference with everything else being equal. Use AfterBurner hardware monitor and check each core's clock and temp. And compare it to your friend's. If that doesn't show what's wrong, only major difference is the graphic card so I'd try different drivers. If he's near, I'd even try swapping. Only way to troubleshoot these is just process of elimination.

And both of you have G2? And ALL values in SteamVR are identical including motion smoothing?

You need to use SPU-9 PTT which by default is RAlt + /

You can make your own.

Well, your Error reading file may be the issue. My log says: [06:15:40] Loading config file... [06:15:40] Configuration exists... [06:15:40] D:\Users\brian\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scratchpad\.

Make sure you have write permission in Saved Games directory.

Also, see how his frame rate drop when his Shkval cursor moves across the trees around 10 second mark. Trees are also causing overdraw and it's multiplied by the smoke. And he set his forest detail and Shkval display resolution to max. Again, these are just my suggestion to him to reduce frame rate impact of the smoke. Wanna make sure I clarify that I'm not ED salesman

What would be those techniques? I already mentioned the density, size and speed above. DCS gives you choice of tree and building detail. Other games do not. That's not the choice of the developer? Racing sims for example have just 1 type of smoke. And what am I selling? I simply answered a question on why Vikhr smoke would have big impact on GTX 1060 with 6GB of VRAM. Maybe you haven't seen my post about 32bit normal maps. I will criticize ED on their methods if I feel it doesn't make sense. Since you're aware of other technique to reduce overdraw, you're more than welcome to make a mod to reduce smoke and share. Those who are willing to put up with s**t looking smoke may use it. And if it works, ED may use it too.

No, ReShade goes into main path. This mod goes into Saved Games. To uninstall ReShade, just run DCS clean up and repair. You downloaded the dcs-scratchpad-master.zip and extracted Scripts to /Saved Games/DCS folder? Tried changing the hotkey?

Which one did you use? Keyboard one or basic one?

As I mentioned above, it's because you're sitting inside that smoke in helicopter until it dissipates versus in a fighter, you're moving through it. I don't have it but I heard there's similar issue with Hind gun smoke? If you're stationary, you're looking through ALL layers of the smoke that missile generated. Could be hundreds. If you're moving at 300 knots and following the smoke trail, you'll be looking at much less particles as many of them are behind you. Blow up a vehicle and sit inside that smoke. You will get big FPS hit. Actually, there's one thing that's different with Vikhr smoke than all other missiles. That it has two emitters. And goes in spiral. And that you're also looking at that smoke in Shkval too. Which may be why it's worse. But then that's how it flies...

How would they fix it? Only way to fix it is to reduce the number of smoke or make the smoke smaller or make them disappear quicker. All of which would degrade appearance. I've explained may times that transparency is one of the most costly graphic effect. It's more expensive than poly count or texture size. If smoke fills up your screen and you're sitting in it, you can't avoid killing your FPS. It's not just DCS. Smoke is FPS hog in Assetto Corsa. This is from Unreal Engine documentation.

1060 would have hard time handling the lingering smoke transparency. This would be less noticeable on fast jets as the smoke clears away fast. And your graphic setting is fairly high for your GPU. I'd say lowering the Forest detail and turning off Lens effect would probably give you best FPS improvement.

Don't have Mi-24 so I don't know what smoke is the FPS killer. If it's gun, you can just delete the gun smoke.

That's because in that shot, wingman was left empty and didn't start up. I ran your mission with AI wingman and shows up. No AWACS. Datalink works. It's receiving data just fine. Has nothing to do with day or night. So problem is no one is "sending" you data. Only possibility I can think of is that your friend didn't start up properly.

I'm not gonna accept cookies to download the track. Without AWACS, if both of you find contact on your radar and both of you set Link 16 to transmit, you would share data between you. Assuming your friend started up properly.

This is your mission. Only thing I did is add AWACS. I ran it on my test MP server. meshima_hashait_ (1).miz

Show me. And E-2D is available for Israel.
