i9 10900K, 64GB RAM, RTX 4080 OC, Meta Quest 3 @72Hz (ASW auto)
Similar problems here. Loading the Afghan Cold and Dark IA mission, OXR toolkit shows VRAM jumping to 105% and subsequent FPS drop to low single figures from which it doesn't recover. Haven't even tried a hot start mission yet. Don't see the point at this stage.
I've noticed the Chinook textures to take far longer to load in than any other module, including the Apache!!
No problems with any other modules I'm currently flying (Tomcat, Kiowa, Apache, Phantom). All performing as expected after the update. Even the Apache & F4, which I find to be FPS heavy hitters.
Cleared out all the usual folders after the update - FXO/Metashaders2
Not tried it in flat screen, as I'm pretty much exclusivley VR these days.
I'm concious parts of my rig are a little dated, but it shouldn't be struggling, as I don't push the sim settings too hard and they're certainly not maxxed out.
I'm stumped
Edit - See pic 1 as an example. Nevada IA Cold & Dark Start mission - VRAM has gone as high as 17GB / 140% when panning my head around!! This can't be right. Reducing textures to MEDIUM does improve it slightly, but struggles to hold 36 FPS (ASW auto).
Pic 2 shows the Tomcat on a IA Cold & Dark start and the kind of numbers I get.
Pic 3 shows the Phantom on a IA Cold & Dark start.
Pic 4 shows the Apache on its IA Cold & Dark start mission. (ASW has kicked in as I would expect)
