Im running Win7 64 Bit Home Edition... Searching on Google returns very mixed opinions and some heated discussions !!!. Just wondering what guys on here recommend for DCS. My comp specs are quite similar to yours P8P67 Pro, i5 2600k, 8Gb Corsair RAM, Vertex 3 SSD, EVGA 580GTX.. Regards...

Should i enable or disable HPET on my machine ???.. Regards...

Just tried the Rocket training mission for the SU-25T, noticed that when i fired my rockets and also viewed the rocket explosions in my Shkval then i'm also getting a massive FPS drop from 40 (my capped FPS value) down to 8 FPS. Also fired rockets without the Shkval turned on and only getting a drop of about 4 FPS for a second after they impacted.

I also have very good performance when playing the instant action missions. Try the "Battle" and "Gauntlet" missions instead when you have time, performance very poor for me on both those two missions.

Hello The impression from what some of you guy's have posted in other threads is that the latest 1.2.1.6192 patch has been a major improvement in terms of performance that you have gained. Previous to the newest patch i was getting excellent FPS across all the modules (i have them all), however ive noticed that since applying patch .6192 i'm now having very mixed results. I cap my FPS at 40. KA-50 .... Tested using the "Battle" mission, absolutley terrible FPS, dropping to as low as 8 when looking at the battle field, once i turn around and fly away my FPS returns to 40. I've replayed the "Battle" mission with all my graphics options turned to low and once a few enemy units are "smoking" my FPS nose dives to 8 again.... so my graphics card is not causing the problem. I've also tested using the "Terrorist" instant action mission and everything is good with the FPS stable at 40. I also "un-capped" my FPS and then replayed the same mission again and the FPS remained stable at 60 with Vsync on. Also had a quick test with the "Gauntlet" mission, it starts off well at 40FPS until i turn my Shkval on when scanning the first target area, then my FPS drops to 22. I've tried setting up a simple flight where i'm flying low and fast through Butami city and i have no problems maintaining 40 FPS. However depending on which heading you are flying turning the Shkval on can cause a FPS drop until you fly within 5km of where your Shkval is looking. So i don't really know what to do now, for some reason my CPU is having a really hard time in some of the missions... i could play them previous to the .6192 patch and my FPS would sometimes fall to 35 (Battle Mission). I'm aware the this is a "framed" sim that relies heavily on my CPU and my FPS may drop when there's plenty of action. However i chose to test the latest patch version on missions where from past experience i know the results that i usually obtain. Would appreciate any suggestions that you may have or maybe the next time you play "Battle" or "Gauntlet" if you could please post your FPS results and your opinions..... maybe BS2 is not well optimised as yet ? My spec's are:- i5 2500k@4.6Mhz, 8Gb RAM, Vertex 3 SSD, EVGA 580GTX (Factory Overclocked). Just for your interest if you have managed to read this far !!! :book: :- A-10C & SU-25T .................... Good stable FPS, only tested on instant action but have no complaints..... Displaying the TGP and Maverick on both MFD's has no effect on my FPS....... seems well optimised. P-51 ..... Tested on the convoy attack instant action, getting a stable 40 FPS until i fire my guns at the convoy then my FPS drops to about 30 and i get the stutters, especially when the APC's start smoking... Thanks...

I'm running version 1.2.1.6192 My card is a EVGA 580GTX (factory overclocked). i5 2500K@4.6Mhz 8Gb RAM I'm currently running with MSAA x2 and TSSAA turned off This is so frustrating i have not changed any of my video card settings from the last version. World 1.2.1 was running so well until they changed it back into version 1.2.0 !!!... Thanks

Just wondering are you guys out there generally noticing an increase in FPS with the the latest patch ?. Just that i'm now finding that my FPS is really struggling since i've updated to the latest version :( Tested with the BS2 "Battle" mission and i'm now only getting approx 20 FPS when i have my Shkval turned on, previously to this latest update i could run at a steady 38 FPS which is what i cap my FPS at. Has anybody else who's machine was running well previous to the latest patch noticed a decrease in performance ??.. Thanks...

Have they got a plan to optimise the explosions of the CBU style bombs and their Russian counterparts ?. They reduce my FPS to about 7 for approx 10 seconds whenever they explode... other than that i'm getting pretty decent performance out of 1.21. Thanks....

Thanks for your replies and confirming that there is a little problem with the BS2 communication menu. Hopefully they will see this thread and provide a fix... Regards....

When playing a two ship formation in BS2 World i noticed that the only option in the communication menu for issuing commands to my single Wingman was Flight. No Wingman option exists for him anymore...... so i can no longer give him a Recon command for instance. I started up the "Death Valley" mission which is a three ship mission and the only options that appear in the comm menu for controlling them are Flight and Wingman 2..... no option for my third Wingman appears. I also started up the "Gauntlet" mission which is a "four ship" mission and i only had options for the whole Flight and Wingmen 2 & 3... once again i can't issue commands to my fourth Wingman individually. So it appears that were missing the radio commands for the last wingman in our flight in the comm's menu. Please would somebody else confirm this the next time you fly BS2 World...... haven't checked this in A-10C yet... Regards.. P.s. I have the easy comm's option checked in the main GUI options menu.

Your Windsock really would be a nice addition to any airfield or FARP, hopefully we will see it incorporated into DCS World one day :)... Regards...

All thanks go's to Mustang... and of course not forgetting Ricardo !!!. If you have any success in eliminating that canopy separation by adjusting your TrackIR profile.... please don't forget to post your findings... Regards....

Just managed to play the Black Shark "Clear Tkvarcheli" mission without any noticeable FPS slowdown (i'm capped at 37, dropped briefly to 31 for a few seconds)...... Only real problem i had was when two SU-25's came in and dropped approx 16 cluster bombs !!!. Hope you can do something with those cluster bombs as my FPS drops to 7 for about 4 seconds every time one of them goes bang... Still getting a 2 second pause/stutter whenever i initially start an A-10C mission... Thank you to whoever it may concern for your effort :smilewink:

Now they can introduce changes and new features in smaller updates and also provides them with a way of helping us when things don't quite go according to plan. Probably the one best feature they have ever included :thumbup:....

Have you made any progress with your new Windsock mod Diveplane ???... Looks like hawka has assigned you the task :) Regards...

Make sure that you use the version from the link that's in post 16 and then follow the instructions exactly. In this version you also have to make a new text entry in the entry.lua file as well as placing the "zip" file in the world\textures folder. Then hopefully you'll be good to go...:smilewink:

I also have :- a) 50% Longer loading times. b) I cap my FPS at 35 using EVGA PrecisionX, generally im getting good solid stable FPS until someone drops a bomb that is !!. c) Approx 10 seconds of stuttering/slow motion play on the initial starting of any A-10C mission (not just the instant action missions). Have tried all the other instant action mission with BS2, P-51, SU-25T & CA and they don't appear to suffer from any initial starting stutters...

The above image is Ricardo's HD MOD (link below). http://files.lockon.ru/en/208092/ If your not planning on using 6DOF then the above Ricardo's MOD works really well. The 6DOF server.lua file that Mustang posted also works, however it's not pretty when you lean your head to the left as a big gap appears between the side of the cockpit and the instrument panel.

Just had a quick fly around, the 6 DoF works, unfortunately i'm seeing this down the left hand side of the cockpit/nose when i lean over to the left. When i have more time i'll have a poke around the server.lua file and try and see if i can somehow limit the lateral movement to see if it makes any difference ?. Appreciate your help...

Mustang... until now i wasn't even aware of that version :cry:.... I tried to install the same version that i've been using in V1.20:- http://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/178856/ I've now installed your version and it seems to be working spot on !!!. I don't suppose by any chance you have a working 6DoF server.lua as well ?.. Thanks :thumbup:

His right, it's hard enough creating a Script profile for the Warthog, writing the Macros and Script for the upcoming F-15 & SU-25 will keep me occupied for days !!!. The amount coding/work....... and i'm pretty sure at times frustration that go's into creating a program like DCS World must be phenomenal !!!. Hopefully this is where we will now see the advantage of having the auto updater...

Un-tick the "Disable Aero Interface" box in the options menu. Either that or you can alt-tab out of the game whilst it running ----- but beware of those black buildings !!!!....

If i alt-tab out of the game whilst it's running and then alt-tab back in i also have black buildings along with a shimmering horizon However providing i don't alt-tab it's fine.

It will be fixed in version 1.22 :smilewink:

Yeah the relevant files all appear to be there, so just looks like a case of arranging/renaming them correctly... 59th Ducky's 6dof mod no longer worky either !!!.
