Even Maríanas is now somekind of playable, I assume because of the core mod. And the f18 and f16, and canopy glass and so many mods from the community. 25-30 fps for me with high textures. 10-15 fps less than Caucasus or Syria. Taz, any chances of future optimized textures for Marianas, fhe second free map? Many will be greatful. Again, thank you.

Is this also working for aircraft, ground and missile names over those units?

Your mods definitely improve fps. In my case 3080 10gb Syria mt unplayable as vram goes over 100pct. sometimes 45fps, some seconds later 20 fps. But in st stable vram 90pct. all textures high... and 40 fps, a joy for the senses. Caucasus mt perfect. 40+ fps. awesome with Barthek magic mod. All these re-starting dcs before every mission. shouldn't be like this (ED Please fix this...), but is what it is. I now enjoy so much both maps. Thanks to members of the community. Game is improving, but if we had DLSS... Come on ED, I guess this is one of the few games without DLSS in April 2023. I know DLSS is coming in 2023... but it should be here. Again, thank you Taz, Barthek and so many other members for all you do for the community.

Hi Taz, I don't own Mirage or Viggen. I play f16 and f18, both caucasus and syria, and no matter the plane, yes for me 3080 and 13600k, mt runs much better with all your mods on Caucasus, but for Syria st far better. Syria mt +35 fps, st 20 fps (unplayable). Caucasus mt +40 fps, st 30 fps. Vram always +90pct, my 10gb 3080 limiting factor, all textures high

Amazing mods Taz. Thank you so much for all you do for the community. These work really well. More FPS and no stutters. Question: For me (3080 10G) Caucasus work better in MT, but Syria better in ST. Does it make sense? After a mission, do you restart DCS before starting a new mission? Stating a new mission in the the same DCS session gives me much lower FPS compared to the 1st mission in that DCS session.

Taz is a genius and their mods helped a lot. I run 3080 10G. I see Syria better in ST, and Caucasus better in MT. Odd, but both much better with his mods. Thank you Taz. After a mission, what do you do before starting a new one? Exit and restart DCS? I see re-starting a mission suffers from lower (10 FPS less) without exiting DCS. Odd? If I restart DCS I get the max FPS again.

It looks beautiful, but really needs optimization. The amount of VRAM required is insane in VR. Ugra... listen

Playability is a MUST. We don't need more details or features, we need playability, even more important in VR. It is not that difficult to understand... I guess SC and Marianas will be suffering in performance until some member like Taz or Barthek provide us with some magical mod to fix this... ED and partners should fix this... There is plenty of room for improvement in the core/code. If a module has low performance, people will not buy it, period. Is this so difficult to understand?

Your mods are incredible. All of them are a MUST to have. As other members said, I do not understand the reasons for ED for not doing something like that for many years. Hopefully they compensate you and apply your knowledge to the next patches. Any chances of optimized SuperCarrier and / or Marianas? If I were ED or any of the 3rd party developers, I would provide you with all the modules for free... What are the reasons to buy/play a non optimized module vs any of these? The difference in performance I see is quite important... Just my 2 cents...

Use TAZ mods.... GREAT FPS improvement. I can now run cockpit and terrain textures Syria HIGH in VR, 30-35FPS at 4150 resolution G2 with 3080

Agreed, the amount of VRAM this needs in insane. +25% more that Syria. Beautiful map but unplayable in VR with high settings... unless Taz, Barthek or any other genius in the community fixes this.

The amount of VRAM this map requires is insane. Unplayable in VR unless you reduce textures. For a 3080, Syria runs beautifully in VR high/high textures with Taz and Barthek mods, but this tiny map this requires +25% more VRAM. ED, I know this is free, but definitely this needs serious improvement....

Amazing mods Taz. Thank you so much for all you do for the community. These work really well. More FPS and no stutters. Question: For me (3080 10G) Caucasus work better in MT, but Syria better in ST. Does it make sense? Best

or at minimum provide him all modules for free....

Taz, THANK YOU!

Barthek, any chances of doing something similar for Syria? Thank you again for all you bring to the community.

Yes, yesterday i used one black hangar mod from Walshtimothy member and I believe i gained some performance. Is that the disabling home you mentioned? Terrain textures to low makes you save TONS of VRAM, but the visuals are way worse I believe. The clift house doesn't have impact now, right? We need DLSS... And the Syria developer optimize the map... Caucasus with low textures Barthek mod looks great and VR friendly. Thanks

Are there any news about the developer optimizing Syria? Many people would think about purchasing if better VR performance.... I love this map, but man this needs urgently VR optimization... I can not understand how this remains the same while some members here are creating mods for free, as a token of appreciation to the community, to improve performance of maps and other things. Thanks to them for their work.

Absolutely, great visuals and great VR management THANKS TO THIS MOD. With this GORGEUS MOD MUCH better performance than the also free Marianas or the PAID Syria. Any ideas to improve Syria's performance? Any idea to reduce textures or anything to make it more 'friendly' to non 4000 cards? The amount of VRAM Syria requires makes me sad.

Hi all, We know VRAM is one of the limiting factors of our GPUs for DCS. And several DCS modules are not very optimized (Marianas, Syria, etc.). Some mods brought by amazing community members help us mitigate this. Are there any other effective methods to 'free' as much VRAM as possible? For example, on a 3080 with 10GB VRAM we only have around 8.3-8.4 GB available. The other 1.6-1.7 GB are 'locked' by something else... I guess. What do you do to 'free' some additional hundreds of MB in VRAM? Clift house? Other? Any way to manually make textures a bit lower (with no real effect on visuals) for our maps? Best

Syria needs optimization.... beautiful but runs much worse than the free Caucasus

Syria needs optimization especially for VR

9900k or 13900k or 7800X3d, 6ms or 3ms or 2ms, it doesn't matter for VR. GPU limited anyway. I am afraid no GPU gives you 2ms nor 6ms... (not even a 4090) so everyone GPU limited until we get other kind of optimizations from ED (less VRAM required, lighter textures like Taz1004 mods, DLSS, etc.). I love my 13600k OCd air and undervolted at 5.7Ghz, but it really does not add anything compared to older CPUs for DCS at this point. Every new ED patch is a bit better, thanks ED for that, but still plenty of room for improvement on the GPU side. Unless you have a VERY old CPU, I do not see benefits on MT. Maybe I am wrong, but this is what I see for my combo (13600k + 3080). And not everyone will have / can afford a 4090...

Taz1004 mods are a must to have for every DCS player. Thank you Taz1004!

Taz, this is awesome, like the rest of your work. We do enjoy and appreciate all your mods. Can you please give us more details about how to do this? Most of us have no experience with MS Visual Studio. These optimizations should be a top priority for ED. For most of us these would be better than MT.
