This is related to the weather setting. Try Overcast with Rain.

The pilot in the first shot is touching the hillside. He slowly tracks down until he encounters the "crease" in the terrain, then his chute collapses as normal. Caucasus map.

I removed the weather, and although I am hitting the target FPS, I can clearly see that facing north from that viewpoint takes 15% more GPU than facing south. Something is odd about the Batumi airfield.

On my Batumi mission, I have a strange situation where I miss my FPS target, but it only happens when I'm facing one direction. I can't seem to pin down the culprit. Any ideas? Caucasus Assault on Batumi Day 1 AM.miz

Zoom in on this image. There is a checkerboard pattern in the terrain at a certain distance. It's very visible in the game. Any ideas?

They are part of the standard load for SEAD missions when you intend to get within range. I don't mount them for dogfighting or BVR.

Caucasus is a "light" map. The others are larger, suggesting you are hitting some limit in our system. Try lowering the resolution. In my VR system, if I run at full resolution, I get massive ground jitter. When I run at a lower resolution, it's smooth.

Bought. The RB debacle hit me hard as well. The solution to banishing unhappy memories is to replace them with new happy memories. I am happy to support ED and the future of my favorite hobby.

Do you mind performing a simple test with just keyboard inputs? I can see what you are describing in the ACMI file.

Could it be the rudder? Slightly out of position, one foot heavier than the other?

It's called Main Mast Assembly (MMA). Look for MMA under loadout, and add the pod.

VR screenshots seem to be squished and stretched after today's update. I have HMD mask enabled.

Regardless of the public data, YT videos of viper pilots don't agree that the FM is correct. It's as correct as they can get it within the limits of the sim, I suppose. I wish it was faster and didn't bleed energy like a popped balloon. Then it would be more fun. If it's "realistic" and not fun, it's a fail.
