Since the last update I am done this sim went to crap it performs like shit pure and simple.

A better question is how are you capping FPS?

Yes we need CPU optimizations. The engine is not using CUDA for physics at all nor does it use CPU cores and as far as GFX its not using 80% of a 660 ti. The project really just needs to go beta for EDGE and they need to develop from there and stop using the current engine. I know this engine might be more stable but the coding changes they are making don't work well with the current engine I am sure ED knows that already. It would be better to move forward and stop beating the dead horse that's already been dead for 5 days. Anyways as in the past ED sims always end up running poorly and unnecessarily. This is not just FC3 it's all modules.

For some reason the performance on this simulation has just gotten lower and lower with each new version seems to me doing some digging they (ED) have messed with the way shadows work in the game. I reverted to a past version 1.2.2 and the performance is much better. Not sure whats going on? Seems like this sim does not use any of the cores correctly even if it does say *64 in TM it's not acting right? I am using the newest Nvidia drivers. I have even done a complete OS rebuild. Really wish this was not happening because it won't do me any good to get a 660 Ti maybe a 670 but I am not sure this would fix the FPS issue with the new patch I have to use medium shadows. All high and about 30+ (around cities, smoke and the P-51 prop effects) FPS difference from 1.2.2 and 1.2.4. I paid $1300 just to be able to play this sim now I have to upgrade to get decent FPS. Some people are using I7 3770's and 680 and Titans and are getting shit FPS ( At points like explosions, smoke, lights and are not that detailed, crashing and flying over cities. I used to be able to fly over cities with no slow downs at all on high shadows. Any ideas of WTH is going on and if it's going to get fixed? Not trying to bitch but this is one of my most fav things for relaxation and free time.

FSX Well if MS would have stayed with FSX and made another sim unlike FLIGHT Microsoft would have made the most realistic flight sim and would have crushed any competition. DCS can't be compared to FSX it's so much better and FSX is not in development where as DCS World is in consistent development. It's also got a long way to go as well but in the flight simulation community there is nothing better at the moment. As for FSX I used this sim until the cow literately came home. lol I loved it but I retired it and now looking for more. Sorry to make it sound like a marriage HAHA!

The arrester hook is not for carrier landings its for emergency landings on solid land runways in a attempt to save an expensive aircraft. In the event of carrier landings there is a protocol to prepare for broken landing gear usually an eject is done over the sea if possible. It has been done but once on a carrier the aircraft is stored until at port they won't cat launch it. They will transport the F-15 off the carrier by craine. It's taken apart and a shipper request is done if needed or if the fix is simple it's flown to a AFB. It's recycled and its fixed again and tested the process is expensive. They usually will just dump the aircraft it's to risky and expensive to land on a carrier.

How do you enable the pickel after you arm a dumb bomb? I can drop them even select the amount to drop at a time but dont have the HUD graphic to accurately drop it. :-/ Also what key allows to enable AP I flip the switch and it goes back down. I don't have HOTAS controls.

lol HAHAHAH! thanks for this one.

Other mods seems to already have it like the a-10a and su-25.

Did not see it I will go troll that one

We should be getting AFM with FC3 no excuse at all we dont need to pay $49.99 in beta for FC3 and only get the crappy flight model. I won't buy them either I except DCS quality F-15 and SU27 not going to buy wash and repeat mods. I did buy beta FC3 to support ED thinking they would add AFM after the beta is over so this is not happening at all.

It's the same for me also.

News With some of the news about DCS F-15C and SU-27 we might get them later this year. :-) Seems like there is a fan base that does not like the clickable cockpits. :-( which is surprising to me. F-18C DCS model sounds like it's more then a year or more off. Well guess it's come a long way but there is years and years to come before we have mods like A-10C.

No but third parties have to pay DCS to market and sell their addons. So a precentage of what 3rd parties make from sales goes to DCS. ;-)

Its about cost right now for ED. Maybe they are making good money and don't want to have to pay other teams internally (I have studied management)... This is why they are making DCS World free as a SDK and demo then making a new engine so they can have 3rd parties make aircraft and still get some profits as well from those 3rd party sales they do know what they are doing. ;-) It's not always about hard work it's about making your software work hard for you. 3rd party dev is the best thing for this project right now.

Its not in service but the concepts and tools that the last version used is now in the F-22 F-35 they are very classified we wont have AFM with this technology unless they get the concepts of it and try to model it. F-117 was really cool but is not in service. We need in service aircraft so I dont think we will see a F-117 for modren aircraft. A B-1B or B-2 might be really nice lol.

It could be hard and there is not always accurate information to even make a AFM think of a F-22 or F-35 the specs are secret. Having a passion and working in a smaller group could be an advantage. ED should be making some good money now so hope they can get into some deeper projects. For sure either way time is always going to be the case for AFM.

My nephew is a crew chief at Mcdill AFB being a crew chief does not help very much. Anyways there is a general standard in country.

If you get into that and try and fly you will sink like a damn stone. ;-)

Gotta love the new F-15C FC3 sounds. I was just bitching about sounds and showed a video of a f-18 and the sounds in the cockpit then they released FC3 in 1.2.4 and behold better more realistic maneuver sounds like my video my bitching works sometimes. Thank you sirs!!!!!!!! So looking forward to DCS F-15C.

lol

Do a full windows update.... next.... Do a reinstalled of everything. CP and uninstalled the program next click start and type regedit then search and type eagle dynamics. Delete the reg keys restart and reinstall then come back if the issue remains.

Actually for the A-10C I did some research and found that for take off and landing you want to be light up. Red green both flashing, beacon flashing, Full lights on your glow sticks, back lighting for your squadron letters so you can be easily identified this is the lights on the tail and shows your aircraft number. Also your engine lights are full on. Upon take off above 10,000 feet red and green go off. Flashing off, glow sticks half way, engine lights off. So steady glow lights are acceptable for general operation. I never knew that in the US and not in a war zone these are acceptable by the FAA. The same operations standards to any other type of aircraft. Below 10, 000 or on a decent to land you want to be seen. Now I understand it makes sense now.

Where are you at? Your own map?

It's not a F-15E but it's a really good job thanks guys you deserve the $50. CJ
