Feedback Thread - Phantom Patch 21-05-2025
Kiwi_Viper replied to IronMike's topic in DCS: F-4E Phantom
this thing is a bloody awesome i love it too bits, i have just noticed tho the left afterburner isn't showing visually right one is, throttles and gauges all show normal but the flame doesn't show on that side, anyone else seeing it? planes behaving normal apart from that. never mind found the issue looking back on the track i saw there was a hole above the left engine from what looks like a rather big bullet hole lol some bugga must have shot at us , jester never said a thing (sneaky bugga). it must have nocked out the AB on that engine tried again before its fine. -

ive always used windows one but ill see what the dcs one says and compare them. ok just run quick berlin test, yeh its showing 8.3 gb on average compared to 15gb in windows one (interesting) kinda makes sense as its smooth silk right now and thats flying the F16 at 370ft, 575 knots directly through berlin so maybe ill keep using dcs own stats, iuse its fps and frame times just never looked at mem useage thanks for the headsup -

yeh my 4080 super also pritty much pegs the VRAM its generally using about 15.5 GB of the 16 GB depends a little on the map but doesnt vary a huge amount. yes r-bar isnt on for dcs default it appears to only be on for a few games, strangely enough msfs2024 is on but things run smoother if i disable it lol go figure -

i think i found a little trick that so far seems to work, it improves load times and that stutter you had Spicysauced for me now its gone completely. flying over that whole area now is totally normal if you use nvidia profile inspector and turn on resizable bar and change these 3 options it acually works, just because we turn it on in the bios the driver disables it in a lot of games , you might need to try a couple of the diff size options but its definitely worth a shot. just make sure you do it for DCS own profile not the global one hope it helps you guys like it did me. ops nearly forgot, apparently it only works on 30 series cards and up -

removing my fps cap i get more stutters in same places you were kind of , seems mostly on the border of grid UA and VA just west of Peenemunde set at 120fps which is headset refresh rate its definitely much more pronounced where as before with it set to 60fps it didnt really show up, i got the odd frame time spike but thats normal whern its loading textures as you travle to new areas, those settings you have there made it more stuttery not as bigger ones but much more frequent kinda like a slow motion freeze frame but constant, setting it back tp 60fps helped but still there and even normandy map was bad and for me it never has been, i might try increasing hose numbers a little and try it tomorrow if i get time -

cool glad it helped you just have to be careful that driver for some is a nightmare but ive had 0 issues it might be just system dependent or sensitive to problems but its definitely worth a shot, i keep messing with settings and let ya all know if i Strick any issues.only other ting im thinking of doing is ditching Nvidia app its a bit unstable yet -

very strange i did pritty much same as your track flight Spicy on older drivers 572.70 and got some stuttering , not as bad as yours but it was there, changed back to my normal 572.83 which for me are stable as a rock and the same route stuttering totally gone? i wonder if its a driver vram thing . now i fly where ever in the north end no problems what so ever fps i have capped in dcs to 60 running headset at 120hz (so half refresh rates) frames times now are pritty much a flat line at around 16ms only time i see micro stutters is in berlin but thats to be expected with the insane detail right there, i know those drivers have been causing problems for some tho. -
Severe loading performance issues with 2.9.15
Kiwi_Viper replied to Nightstorm's topic in Game Performance Bugs
yeh its been bad for months taking longer and longer but mostly on first launch (and its NOT mods i took em out to try it no difference what so ever) once your in its fine i think its been worse sine they got rid of the two version, st and mt but hopefully itll improve as time goes on it seems stable enough just bloody slow -
Great map, but definitely resource hungry
Kiwi_Viper replied to SandMan23's topic in DCS: Cold War Germany
yeh mines using 52 of 64 gig ram but its stable ish, i did kill off the nvidia app tho its a pain in the butt, using the 572.83 driver people are having issues with mines been stable as, knocked a few settings back one notch and run 60fps limited in DCs with the crystal at 120hz its really good even over berlin so its got rid of most of the micro stutters the rest of the map is totally fine the insane detail is awesome at low level lol -
just touring around Fulda airfield and saw several harvesters, none of the rear wheels were turning front ones all were just not rears, just a heads up if it got missed or nobody's seen it yet, apart from that all looks amazing.

i thought it would kinda rude not to patrol Berlin in a Tiger II lol just for fun the details is insain but awesome

Great map, but definitely resource hungry
Kiwi_Viper replied to SandMan23's topic in DCS: Cold War Germany
its probably roughly the same as Syria when it first launched , its totally playable you just might need to lower a few settings for a bit, i just dropped shadows and forest visibility little and even Berlin is back to over 45fps, but more important frame times are sub 20ms which matters more, also dropped upscale from 75% to 70% in pimax play helped without affecting visuals very much at all. it looks freekin stunning in VR -

Kiwi_Viper replied to SandMan23's topic in DCS: Cold War Germany
awesome map guys but as others say it is resource hungry, even 64gig of ram and a 4080 super its only averaging round 50-fps in VR its playable but im hoping with time it'll improve as they optimize it . having said that i can live with it since i dont care about multiplayer i really only do singleplayer now days and its totally useable for ww2 as well which to me is way more important than jet jockey stuff. side note. just tryed berlin wow thats a frame killer lol lucky to get 30fps and thers quite a lot of stutters
